Treatment goals

What we aim to achieve

Results vary by patient. Dr. Mónica Restrepo Moreno will assess you during the consultation.

A second option: Bariatric revision is an alternative for patients with weight regain or complications after a previous surgery. Whether it is right for you is decided at the consultation.

Resolution of complications: Addressing internal hernias, strictures, severe post-sleeve reflux, and other technical complications.

Multidisciplinary approach: Comprehensive pre-surgical evaluation to identify the causes of previous outcomes and design an integrated plan that includes nutrition and psychology.

Specialized expertise: Dr. Mónica has specialized training in bariatric revision, which is one of the more complex procedures in the specialty.

How it works

1

Evaluation of your previous surgery

I review your medical history, the surgery you underwent, and any tests you provide. We also perform body composition analysis using bioimpedance (InBody 380).
2

Plan based on the cause

We investigate why weight was regained or discomfort appeared, and together we define the options: from nutritional or pharmacological management to a revision or conversion surgery.
3

Preparation with my team

If surgery is deemed necessary, you will be evaluated by anesthesiology, nutrition, sports medicine, and psychology specialists before the procedure.
4

Close follow-up

Follow-up appointments with the team for one year after bariatric surgery, including control body composition analyses.

“Mi experiencia con la Dra. Mónica Restrepo ha sido excelente. Desde mucho antes de mi cirugía recibí un acompañamiento muy completo; todo me fue explicado con claridad y siempre sentí que estaba en muy buenas manos. El día de la cirugía todo fue muy organizado y diligente. Llegué a la hora acordada y de inmediato comenzaron a prepararme para el procedimiento. Durante mi estancia en la clínica estuvieron muy pendientes de mí y me hicieron sentir cuidada y acompañada en todo momento. La Dra. Mónica es una excelente profesional y se nota la experiencia y el amor con el que realiza su trabajo. Pero, además de ella, quiero destacar a todo su equipo, porque el acompañamiento de cada una de las personas que estuvo conmigo fue maravilloso. Hoy, a tan poquito tiempo de mi cirugía, poder ver los cambios que ya estoy experimentando me hace sentir que tomar esta decisión valió completamente la pena. Estoy muy satisfecha y agradecida con todo el proceso. ❤️ Recomendaría a ojos cerrados a la Dra. Mónica Restrepo y a todo su equipo. Gracias por acompañarme en una decisión tan importante y hacer que todo este proceso fuera mucho más tranquilo y bonito.🙏🏼❤️”

Frequently asked questions

When should I consider bariatric revision?

If you have regained a significant amount of weight after your first bariatric surgery, or if you are experiencing complications such as severe reflux, internal hernias, or nutritional deficiencies that affect your quality of life, it may be a good time for a consultation. My goal is to understand your current situation and explore potential solutions.

What types of bariatric revision procedures are available?

There are various options depending on your initial surgery and the reason for the undesired outcomes. These may include conversions from gastric sleeve to bypass, gastric pouch revisions, or anatomical adjustments to help improve weight loss or address complications. After a detailed evaluation, I can explain which option might be most suitable for you.

How long does recovery from bariatric revision take?

The length of hospital stay and return to your activities depends on each patient and the specific procedure. I will explain this in detail during your consultation, along with the care and follow-up provided by my team throughout the process.

Does bariatric revision offer the same outcomes as primary surgery?

The primary goal of revision is to address weight regain or complications, aiming to improve your well-being. Many patients may experience additional weight loss and a noticeable improvement in their health. Outcomes are individual and depend on many factors, including your commitment to a post-surgical lifestyle.

Are there risks or possible side effects with bariatric revision?

Like any surgical procedure, bariatric revision carries some risks, which will be carefully discussed with you before surgery. These may include infections, bleeding, or anesthetic complications. My team and I take all precautions to care for your health and help minimize any potential issues.

What alternatives are there to surgery in case of weight regain?

Before considering surgical revision, we always evaluate non-surgical options. This includes an intensive approach with lifestyle changes, nutritional counseling, and psychological support. In some cases, an intragastric balloon may be an option. Together, we will define the most appropriate strategy for your situation.
