Gastric bypass w/GB removal in 2003 now suffering from complications. Is revision possible? What can be done?

November 24, 2018
Asked By:My Bariatric Life in Philadelphia, PA

Is there a gastric bypass revision surgery that will eliminate the blind loop? My gastroenterologist and my PCP believe it is causation for my SIBO small intestine bacterial overgrowth because it is difficult to clean out the blind loop. Since the SIBO has led to SERIOUS systemic diseases I would thusly love to cure the SIBO and unravel the mess it has caused. Are there other solutions that I am unaware of? Is there someplace I can turn to for more information and subject matter expertise? TY!
