Pablo Garcia, MD · Answer

Hello, I am sorry to hear you are having this issue. There are several factors that need to be looked into before deciding if you qualify for revision surgery. It is possible your gastrointestinal issues can be attributed to something else outside of your surgery, which is why you should be evaluated by your bariatric team.

Ariel Ortiz, MD, FACS · Answer

Chronic symptoms such as vomiting and excessive bloating  after gastric bypass are  an indication for a complete diagnostic  evaluation  that should include imaging and endoscopic  testing and procedures by an expert bariatric  team that has ample experience revising  gastric bypass surgery. Once the problem is found, surgical planning and prognosis   can be determined.

Revision of a gastric bypass is a nice idea but what needs to be done? If the goal is to fix these GI symptoms you are describing then one needs to determine what exactly is causing the symptoms. An evaluation by an experienced surgeon is the first step  good luck!
