When Your First Bariatric Surgery Doesn’t Deliver, We’re Here to Help.
Specialists in Complex Revisional Surgeries for Long-Term Weight Loss Success.
Understanding Why Your First Surgery Didn’t Work.
1. The Wrong Surgery for Your Needs:
Many patients are offered gastric sleeve surgeries because they’re quick, easy, and low-cost. But a sleeve isn’t right for everyone. If you needed a more comprehensive solution, like a gastric bypass, you may find yourself regaining weight.
2. Complications After Surgery:
Complications like acid reflux, nutrient deficiencies, or persistent hunger after surgery can prevent long-term success. Without the right care, these issues can lead to further health problems.
3. Weight Regain After Initial Success:
It’s common for patients to lose weight after surgery, only to regain it months or years later. This can be due to stomach stretching, poor follow-up care, or underlying issues that weren’t addressed in the first procedure.

“I thought I had failed, but after reaching out to Rachel she made me see it wasn’t my fault, I needed a bypass not a sleeve, and it was this hindering me, i didn’t have the right tool. Had the op and never looked back since & now I’m loving life”
Katie Atug
“After having a sleeve, I struggled with extreme reflux. I spoke to the MWLC team, and they suggested a bypass. I remembered the care I received was amazing, and they didn’t disappoint. I’m so glad I reached out and didn’t suffer in silence.”
Elizabeth Short

Revisional Surgery Options at MWLC Health UK
Tailored Revisional Surgery Options to Correct and Enhance Your Weight Loss Journey.
Sleeve to Gastric Bypass Revision
When It’s Needed:
If you initially had a gastric sleeve but are experiencing weight regain, acid reflux, or poor weight loss results, converting the sleeve to a gastric bypass can help.
How It Works:
The sleeve is converted into a mını gastrıc bypass or Roux-en-Y (RNY) gastric bypass, which not only reduces stomach size but also alters the digestive tract to limit calorie absorption and reduce acid reflux.
Benefits:
• Improved weight loss outcomes
• Reduction or elimination of acid reflux
• Better long-term weight maintenance
Gastric Band to Gastric Sleeve, RNY, or Mini Gastric Bypass Revision
When It’s Needed:
If you had a gastric band and are struggling with weight regain, slippage, or discomfort, the band can be removed and replaced with a gastric sleeve, Roux-en-Y (RNY) gastric bypass, or a Mini Gastric Bypass for more sustainable results.
How It Works:
The band is surgically removed, and your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate procedure—either a sleeve, RNY, or Mini Gastric Bypass—based on your health history and weight loss goals.
Benefits:
• More effective, long-term weight loss compared to bands
• Elimination of band-related complications
• Improved overall health outcomes
Revisional Gastric Bypass (Pouch/Anastomosis Revision)
When It’s Needed:
If you had a gastric bypass but are experiencing weight regain or complications like stomach stretching or fistulas, a revisional bypass can address these issues.
How It Works:
The procedure may involve reducing the size of the stomach pouch, tightening the connection (anastomosis), or correcting anatomical issues that have developed over time.
Benefits:
• Restores the effectiveness of your original bypass
• Corrects complications from the initial surgery
• Helps you get back on track with weight loss
Single Anastomosis Duodenal Switch (SADI-S) for Complex Cases or High BMI Patients
When It’s Needed:
For patients with a high BMI or those who’ve had multiple failed surgeries, the Single Anastomosis Duodenal Switch (SADI-S) offers a highly effective weight loss solution.
How It Works:
This procedure combines restrictive and malabsorptive techniques by reducing stomach size and bypassing part of the small intestine, but with a single connection (anastomosis), simplifying the traditional duodenal switch while maintaining strong weight loss outcomes.
Benefits:
• Greater weight loss potential for complex cases
• Simplified procedure with fewer risks compared to traditional duodenal switch
• Effective for patients with severe obesity or metabolic issues
• Long-term results with proper follow-up care
Correcting Complications (Non-Weight Related Revisions)
When It’s Needed:
If your original surgery led to complications like severe acid reflux, nutrient deficiencies, chronic vomiting, or digestive issues, a revisional procedure may be necessary even if weight loss isn’t the primary concern.
How It Works:
Depending on your symptoms, your surgeon will assess whether you need an anatomical correction, reversal, or conversion to a different procedure.
Benefits:
• Relief from uncomfortable or dangerous complications
• Improved quality of life and overall health
• Better nutritional absorption and fewer long-term risks
