Reasons You May Need Revision Surgery
You're Not Seeing Results
If you're having a hard time losing your excess weight, or you've put your excess weight back on after initially seeing results, you may desire a different weight loss surgery. Several factors could be behind the lack of results, including those related to the original bariatric surgeon (the surgeon used an outdated technique, had poor equipment, or lacked experience) or patient factors (you deviated from your weight loss plan, you're stressed, or you became pregnant).
You Desire a More Current Solution
The field of bariatrics continues to advance, so a weight loss solution you received years ago may not be as effective as the surgical procedures available today . For example, many patients are choosing to remove their gastric band in favor of a safer and more long-lasting option. Dr. Cabrera stays up to date on the latest technology in the field, so he can continue to provide his patients with optimal results.
You're Experiencing Side Effects
Although the risk of complications is low, patients may occasionally experience side effects if the procedure was not performed correctly. For example, an infection or erosion can develop around a gastric band device, requiring attention. Patients may also develop a medical condition like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and desire a different weight loss surgery to address it.
Change Your Life With Revision Surgery
If you're not experiencing the results you desire from your weight loss surgery, a revision can help you achieve your goals, live a healthier life, alleviate weight-related medical conditions, and improve your confidence. So many patients from the United States, Canada, and Mexico choose Stop Obesity Bariatric Surgery for their care, and we're proud to consistently provide results like these :

The best decision my son made, from day number one until his last day in Tijuana, the attention of the medical staff, the attention of Dr. Cabrera, he detailed the surgery process step by step. Dr. Karina has been in communication with us at all times. The coordinator Yoli always pays attention to all the details and Dr Daniella. It's a tremendous team. He feels great.

View On GoogleYour Options For Revision Bariatric Surgery
While our Tijuana team can repair or reverse your previous surgery, many patients choose to convert their previous surgery into a more effective option. Your revision bariatric surgery may be a:
Gastric Sleeve
During gastric sleeve surgery, a bariatric surgeon removes up to 80% of the stomach, giving it the appearance of a sleeve. Gastric sleeve surgery helps patients achieve healthy, consistent weight loss because it restricts the amount of food they can eat, makes them feel fuller faster, and decreases their appetite as it removes the part of the stomach that secretes the majority of the hunger hormone ghrelin.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass is a bariatric procedure in which the stomach is divided into a small upper pouch and a larger lower pouch to restrict the amount of food the stomach can hold. The small intestine is then rerouted to restrict the number of calories the body can absorb. The result is consistent weight loss.
Mini Gastric Bypass
Like gastric bypass surgery, mini gastric bypass surgery makes the stomach smaller and reroutes the small intestine to restrict the amount of food your stomach can hold and to change how many calories your body can absorb. However, this weight loss surgery requires less rerouting of the small intestine than gastric bypass surgery, while still providing comparable results.
Duodenal Switch
If you previously had a gastric sleeve, but aren't seeing results, you may be a good candidate for a duodenal switch. This surgical procedure combines gastric sleeve surgery with an intestinal bypass for patients who have severe obesity. Like gastric bypass surgery, it both restricts the amount of food your stomach can hold and limits the amount of calories your body can absorb.
Paying for Your Bariatric Surgery
By choosing to come to Tijuana for your revision surgery, you're already going to be spending thousands of dollars less than if you had chosen a practice in the United States or Canada. In addition to the savings of medical tourism, Stop Obesity Bariatric Surgery makes procedures even more affordable.
The price of bariatric revision surgery with our team is the cost of your new surgery plus $700. We accept financing through United Health Care and eFinancing so patients who qualify can split the cost of their revision surgery into affordable monthly payments.

From NZ to Tijuana for the best experience. Although far from home I felt very well cared for by Dr Cabrera & his team. I would say to anyone thinking about going to go. You are in the best hands. You won't regret it. From day one it was go, from being admitted quickly, blood tests being done promptly & then being taken to your room & prepared well for the surgery so you have zero questions to ask. Dr Cabrera remained in contact with you in person to the very end.
