Band revision

Most patients seeking revision surgery are those who have, or have had, a gastric band implanted. This is mainly because more gastric band procedures have been carried out than any other type of private weight loss procedure.

Revision of a gastric band is usually required for two main reasons; either you are experiencing a complication such as erosion or you are regaining weight and wish to convert to a more powerful procedure such as a gastric sleeve. Some patients do also choose to switch to a different procedure for personal preference, as they find it difficult to work with the diet regime and attend adjustment appointments.

Below are links to pages with information covering all of the reasons why you might be considering gastric band revision surgery:

• A leak of the access port, tubing or band
• Band removal
• Conversion to gastric bypass
• Conversion to gastric sleeve
