Because the revision or reversal of gastric bypass surgery is such a complex procedure, patients must have compelling reasons for undergoing revisional surgery. At our office serving Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery, and other areas of Alabama, Dr. Andrew M. Dewitt performs revisional gastric bypass surgery in certain situations. For patients who have experienced medical difficulties related to a gastric bypass procedure, whose procedure has not achieved desired results, or who are unable to follow the dietary and lifestyle changes crucial for a positive long-term outcome, revisional surgery may be able to help. It is important to remember, however, that gastric bypass surgery is not always reversible. The procedure usually requires a life-long commitment and can be reversed only in relatively extreme situations.
If you are experiencing difficulties related to a weight-loss procedure, a consultation with Dr. Andrew M. Dewitt may be the first step in reversing or revising surgery that was wholly or partially unsuccessful. A revisional procedure can eliminate or reduce complications, providing you with better results. Our caring and compassionate staff serving Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery, and surrounding Alabama communities will thoroughly address your concerns regarding your gastric bypass surgery.
