FAQs

WHAT IS A REVISION PROCEDURE AFTER BARIATRIC SURGERY?
Endoscopic revision of bariatric surgery describes non-surgical procedures that address changes in the stomach or the connection between the stomach and intestine that can gradually occur after bariatric surgery leading to weight regain. If you have weight regain after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, you may be a candidate for an endoscopic revision procedure. Our office offers a complete endoscopic revision program with incisionless procedures that have proven results. Similar to other endoscopic weight loss procedures, you are able to go home the same day and return to normal activities in 1-2 days.
IS BARIATRIC REVISION RIGHT FOR YOU?
If you've experienced challenges following a previous weight loss surgery, Bariatric Revision may provide the solutions needed to achieve long-term success. Consultation with our experienced team can determine eligibility and explore options.
WHAT IS GASTRIC BYPASS REVISION?
The endoscopic gastric bypass revision, known as transoral outlet reduction (TORe), is a non-surgical procedure designed to correct the gradual widening of the connection between the stomach and small intestine following gastric bypass surgery. This widening allows more food to pass through, but TORe uses endoscopic suturing to reduce the width of this connection, and can also shrink the stomach size if necessary. TORe is a safe and effective alternative to surgical revision, with 87.4% of patients avoiding weight gain after one year and 77% maintaining weight loss after five years. Patients lost an average of 22 to 33 lbs, or 9% to 13% of their total body weight, with 62% reducing their weight by at least 5%. Dr. Simmons, a highly experienced specialist in Miami, offers this transformative treatment.
WHAT IS GASTRIC SLEEVE REVISION?
Everyone deserves a second chance, but the second time we should be more careful and learn from our mistakes. After regaining weight people might think of going for another bariatric surgery, but it might be not the best choice for everyone.
The gastric sleeve revision corrects the gradual enlargement of the stomach pouch after bariatric surgery, which can lead to increased food intake and weight regain. Endoscopic suturing is used to reduce the stomach size.
For those considering another weight loss option after regaining weight, consulting with medical professionals is crucial. Dr. Okeefe Simmons in Florida offers non-surgical gastric sleeve revision, providing a safe and effective alternative to additional surgery. His clinic, Simmons MD Advanced Weight Loss Solutions, is a leading weight loss clinic in Miami.
