Revision Bariatric Surgery in Central London
Specialist corrective and reoperative weight-loss surgery delivered by consultant bariatric surgeons at LSDC Healthcare.
At LSDC Healthcare, we specialise in Revision Bariatric Surgery — complex corrective procedures designed to address complications, suboptimal results, or long-term issues following previous weight-loss operations.
Our consultant bariatric surgeons bring world-class experience in reoperative techniques, supported by expert dietitians, psychologists, and endocrinologists to ensure each patient receives a comprehensive and safe surgical plan.
What Is Revision Bariatric Surgery?
Revision bariatric surgery refers to any secondary operation performed to adjust, correct, or reverse a prior weight-loss procedure.
These surgeries can address issues such as:
Insufficient weight loss or weight regain
Anatomical complications (band slippage, pouch dilation, strictures)
Severe reflux or nutritional deficiency after previous surgery
The need to convert from one procedure to another, such as gastric band to sleeve or sleeve to bypass
Our team performs detailed assessments, including imaging, endoscopy, and nutritional evaluation, to design the safest and most effective revision strategy.
Who Is It Suitable For?
Revision surgery may be appropriate for patients who:
Experienced limited success after their initial bariatric procedure
Developed complications such as reflux, vomiting, or malabsorption
Have regained significant weight despite adherence to recommendations
Require conversion to a different procedure for better metabolic control
Each patient undergoes comprehensive medical and psychological screening to ensure the best outcomes and minimise risk.
Common Revision Procedures
Band to Sleeve Gastrectomy — converting an adjustable gastric band to a sleeve for improved restriction and appetite control.
Sleeve to Gastric Bypass — for reflux, inadequate weight loss, or severe diabetes.
Band Removal or Replacement — for mechanical or intolerance issues.
Bypass Revision — correcting anatomical problems or enlargements of the pouch or limb.
Duodenal Switch Revision — for nutritional balance optimisation.
Benefits of Revision Surgery
Restores effective weight loss and metabolic control
Corrects structural or functional complications
Reduces reflux, vomiting, or malnutrition
Improves long-term safety and quality of life
Customised to your anatomy and clinical needs
Recovery and Aftercare
Revision procedures are often more technically demanding than primary operations, so recovery may take slightly longer — typically 2–3 weeks before returning to desk work.
At LSDC Healthcare, all patients receive:
Enhanced recovery protocols and consultant follow-up
Regular nutritional monitoring and supplementation
Psychological and lifestyle support to maintain outcomes
Metabolic follow-up to track sustained improvement

Frequently Asked Questions — Revision Bariatric Surgery
Why might someone need revision bariatric surgery?
Revisions are required when there is weight regain, complications such as reflux or band slippage, or when the initial procedure no longer achieves its goals.
Is revision surgery riskier than the first operation?
Revision procedures are more complex, but in experienced hands, risks remain low. Our surgeons perform detailed imaging and planning to ensure safety.
Can all bariatric procedures be revised?
Most can. Common revisions include band to sleeve, sleeve to bypass, or bypass modification. The approach depends on your anatomy and clinical goals.
Will I lose weight again after revision surgery?
Yes. Most patients achieve renewed and sustainable weight loss when combined with dietary and behavioural support.
Is revision bariatric surgery covered by insurance?
Yes. Many insurers cover revision procedures if there is medical necessity. Self-pay packages are also available through LSDC Healthcare.
