Bariatric Revision Surgery in Huntsville, AL

Do I Qualify for Revisional Weight Loss Surgery?

Before determining if revisional weight loss surgery is right for you, it is important that a bariatric surgeon first uncover the root cause of the weight gain. Many causes of your weight could be, increased food consumption, decreased exercise, and more.

At Birmingham Minimally Invasive Surgery, we ask our patients to keep a detailed food journal that notes their exercise habits. It is often a simple fix if we determine that overeating has caused the patient to regain the weight. When the volume of food consumed increases, so does the size of the stomach pouch. By putting our patients on our comprehensive “back-on-track” program, we can help them return to their former diet and exercise regimen to encourage weight loss.

However, if we determine the cause of the weight regain was not due to behavioral issues such as poor diet or lack of exercise, we will consider bariatric revision surgery.
