Has previous weight loss surgery not helped you to achieve the results you had hoped for?
If you have experienced problems with your gastric band, such as slippage, or difficulty maintaining weight loss after surgery then conversion surgery could be suitable for you. It is also suitable for people who haven’t lost as much weight as they’d hoped to from other types of weight loss surgery.
Whatever your situation, gastric band to gastric bypass conversion surgery could be an effective way to assist you in bringing your weight loss goals back within reach.
A gastric band to gastric bypass conversion is one of the options we offer at The Hospital Group for patients who haven’t reached their weight loss goals with a gastric band.
A gastric band to gastric bypass conversion helps to reduce your appetite by altering levels of hormones produced by the gut, meaning that small portions will be enough to satisfy your hunger. The process involves removing the gastric band, creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine.
All surgical procedures pose a potential risk, and it is important know what these are before you go ahead so that you can weigh them up against the benefits your procedure could bring. During your consultations you will talk through these potential complications and you can ask any questions that you have about them.
As a guide, these may include bleeding, infection, pain, scarring and reflux.
Gastric band to gastric bypass conversion is suitable for patients who have had difficulties with their band or who need extra help maintaining weight loss following gastric band surgery.
