However, these surgeries may not be sufficient to achieve desired results over the long term.

Benefits of Laparoscopic Revisional Weight Loss Surgery
There are many benefits to laparoscopic revisional weight loss surgery, including:

- Most patients only require a hospital stay of one to two days
- Recovery time is shorter overall

Risks and Complications of Bariatric Surgery
Surgical treatment of obesity and obesity-related health problems is considered major surgery. The risks and complications of surgical treatment of obesity are most often due to the patient’s obesity-related health problems. That is why we stress quitting smoking and losing weight prior to surgery to decrease these risks as much as possible. Also, complications can occur if patients do not follow all of their instructions after surgery.
