At one time gastric bands were the most popular weight loss surgery across the globe. Hundreds of thousands of these devices were implanted, and many patients had excellent results. However some patients had issues with the device, or didn’t lose enough weight. The good news is that there are some good options for revising gastric bands that can lead to excellent results. Gastric bands can often be converted to gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, or even the SIPS procedure. Most of the time it can be done in a single operation, but there are times when it must be staged, first removing the band and then returning a few months later for the definitive procedure.
