Revisional bariatric surgery is a corrective procedure performed on patients who previously had gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, or Lap-Band surgery but now require additional intervention. Reasons include inadequate weight loss, anatomical stretching, severe reflux, Lap-Band failure, or complications after the initial surgery.
Because revisional surgery involves operating on previously altered anatomy, it requires a highly skilled bariatric surgeon.
Some patients achieve excellent results after their first procedure, but others may face challenges over time. Revisional surgery can:
Revisional surgery helps patients regain control of their weight-loss success, often producing renewed and lasting results.
Ideal for severe reflux, insufficient weight loss, or weight regain.
Corrects a stretched or enlarged sleeve.
A common revision for patients who had band intolerance, slippage, or erosion.
Adjusts pouch size or anatomy to restore expected restriction or metabolic effect.
Each procedure is fully customized based on imaging, prior surgical history, and patient goals.
Because revisional surgery is more complex than primary bariatric procedures, costs can vary widely. In Brooklyn, the price typically ranges from:
$8,000 to $25,000+
(depending on procedure type, complexity, anesthesia, and surgical facility)
A consultation is required for accurate pricing.
If you previously had bariatric surgery and are struggling with weight regain or complications, revisional surgery may be the right solution.

Recovery may be similar or slightly longer depending on complexity, but most patients return to normal activities in 1–3 weeks.
