I had the gastric bypass 20 years ago. I have lived this long with stomach complications. Throwing up an bloated. Revision?

Living with ongoing stomach complications after a gastric bypass for 20 years can be very challenging. Symptoms like frequent vomiting, bloating, or discomfort may indicate that the anatomy of your original surgery has changed over time, or that complications such as strictures, ulcers, or malabsorption have developed.
A revision surgery can be considered in cases like yours, but it requires a careful evaluation. The first step is a thorough medical assessment, which usually includes imaging studies, endoscopy, and lab tests to understand the cause of your symptoms. If a revision is appropriate, a bariatric surgeon can discuss options that aim to relieve your symptoms and improve your nutrition while minimizing risk.
Because revision gastric bypass surgeries are more complex than primary procedures, it’s essential to work with an experienced bariatric team who can guide you safely through evaluation, treatment planning, and follow-up care.

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.

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.
