Did your weight loss surgery become another in the roller-coaster ride of failed diet and exercise programs? Did you find that after 18 months you hit the plateau with your weight loss surgery and think you need a revision? You might. We have the largest series of LAP-BAND over bypass revisions in the Southwest. .

Revising your weight loss surgery to a LAP-BAND may be easier than you think. The LAP-BAND over your bypass will allow you to kick start your weight loss again, and guess what -- the band is ADJUSTABLE.
RNY bypass works by restriction, and fails when the the opening to the small bowel enlarges-- leaving you hungry all the time. To fix this surgeons have to go back in and stitch the opening up -- leaving you again with an opening that can enlarge. Today we offer the BAND over the bypass. This allows you to lose weight again, and allows us to adjust the opening of the stoma allowing you to feel full with less.
The other way the bypass fails is if the pouch becomes enlarged. To fix this surgeons would have to go back in and remove more stomach -- more staples, and a higher operative risk. Today, we simply put a band on.
Had a duodenal switch and find that your weight loss isn't what it should have been? The answer isn't more malabsorption -- the answer is placing a band over the stomach portion -- this allows you to feel full with less, and get to your weight loss goals.
Malabsorption is a "quick fix," that leaves you still malabsorbing calcium, iron, and other nutrients, and over time the malabsorption stops working for carbohydrates -- leaving many with a return of excess weight.

More patients are getting the Vertical Sleeve -- and more of those patients are finding that as they fail the lap-band over the sleeve is helping them start again.

Overtime a more proven solution than Stoma-Fix, and a better weight loss option.

The other operations, RNY and DS, do not have an ability to adjust. The LAP-BAND does. We are revising more and more patients from other operations to the LAP BAND with great results.
