REVISION SURGERY
Revision surgery is a re-operation of a prior weight loss surgery such as stomach stapling (VBG), LAP-BAND®, sleeve gastrectomy, or gastric bypass due to problematic symptoms or lack of weight loss. We specialize in handling particularly complicated cases. There are two different types of revision surgery – sleeve to bypass and bypass to bypass. Dr. Barnes also specializes in altering or removing LAP-BAND® and converting it to a sleeve or bypass depending on what is medically best for you. Contact us today to learn more about our knowledge and application on revisions. We’re well-known in the area as the go-to for revision surgeries. And we’re proud to provide our excellence to our patients.
LAPAROSCOPIC ROUX-EN-Y GASTRIC BYPASS
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery is one of the most effective procedures performed today to combat problems caused by morbid obesity. Using a laparoscopic technique, which employs smaller instruments and results in less visible scarring and quicker recovery time, a small pouch will be created in the upper stomach region that limits the amount of food you eat at one time. The pouch is connected to the small intestine. During your initial consultation, Dr. Barnes will explain the gastric bypass surgery benefits to you and describe how the procedure works. He will also give you details about what you will need to do before Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and after weight loss surgery.
GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY
Gastric sleeve surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) is an effective weight loss surgery option with some important differences from the LAP-BAND® System and gastric bypass. In this procedure, a large area of the stomach is surgically removed, reducing the overall size of the stomach to a narrow tube. This ultimately curbs the appetite and limits the intake of food.
