Gastric Bypass Revision Surgery at UCLA

We offer the latest procedures designed to revise, or fix, any prior weight loss surgeries you may have had, including endoscopic options. Endoscopy is a nonsurgical procedure that uses an endoscope, a long, flexible lighted tube with a camera attached to it, to view and treat the areas within your gastrointestinal tract.

Therapeutic endoscopy is the next frontier for treating obesity and its related medical complications. (Learn more about being overweight and related health issues.) At UCLA, we have a therapeutic endoscopist who specializes in these kinds of procedures for bariatric surgery. Because of this, our program continues to be among the first in the U.S. to offer these types of procedures before they’re widely available.

Our surgical outcomes are also among the best in California and the U.S., even when it comes to these more complicated procedures. Our gastric bypass revision options include:

• Endoscopic stoma/pouch revision: We offer one of the newest technologies to reduce the pouch and stoma (the new connection between the stomach and lower intestine) size without any incisions and minimal risks. The recovery from the surgery is also very fast.
• Laparoscopic distal Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: This minimally invasive procedure is designed to treat weight regain after gastric bypass surgery. This procedure can help you to lose more weight after weight regain by reducing your ability to absorb food and calories.
• Endoscopy to treat gastric bypass complications: We treat and fix common bariatric surgery complications, including leaks, endoscopically.
