Gastric Bypass Revision Surgery With Doctor Cihan Şahan
Gastric bypass is a surgical procedure used to combat obesity. In this method, food intake and digestion are altered by reducing the size of the stomach and skipping part of the intestine. In this way, less food is consumed and the body absorbs fewer calories. This accelerates weight loss and reduces the risk of developing obesity-related health problems.
When is a gastric bypass revision necessary?
A gastric bypass revision may be needed in the early postoperative period if weight loss is less than expected or if obesity-related health problems persist. Revision surgery is offered as an option to address conditions such as post-operative failure, weight regain, complications or side effects.
Dr. Cihan Şahan is a board-certified bariatric surgeon with extensive experience in gastric bypass revision. He works diligently to maximize the expected weight loss and health recovery after surgery by providing solutions specific to the needs of his patients.
The timing of a gastric bypass revision can vary depending on the patient’s condition.

Dr. Cihan Şahan performs a detailed evaluation, analyzes the condition of his patients and determines the appropriate treatment plan.
Gastric Bypass Revision Surgery Applications
1. Revision with Gastric Banding
Gastric Banding is a bariatric surgical procedure used to support weight loss after gastric bypass surgery. In this method, an adjustable band is applied to the upper part of the stomach. The band is used to control the stomach’s capacity and passage rate. However, in some cases, the results of the first gastric bypass surgery with banding may not provide the expected weight loss or complications may develop.
In the revision procedure with banding, correction or repositioning of the previously applied band is performed. This procedure resolves issues such as the tape loosening, slipping, or causing a blockage. Re-adjustment of the band can increase weight loss and help the patient lead a healthier life.
In this procedure, Doctor Cihan Şahan, a respected bariatric surgeon, evaluates the patient’s condition by making a comprehensive assessment and determines the appropriate treatment plan.
2. Revision with Sleeve Gastrectomy
In sleeve gastrectomy, the stomach is greatly reduced and a tubular structure is created. Sleeve gastrectomy can be used to increase weight loss or correct complications after original gastric bypass surgery. In this procedure, the amount of food eaten and appetite control are increased by reducing the stomach volume. Thus, the patient’s weight loss process is accelerated and healthy weight management is supported.
3. Reconstruction of Gastric Bypass
Gastric Bypass reconstruction is a preferred revision procedure when the results of previous gastric bypass surgery are unsatisfactory. In this procedure, the first gastric bypass surgery is repeated, with the aim of increasing weight loss and eliminating complications.
Re-doing Gastric Bypass can be applied to eliminate problems or complications that occurred during the first surgery. These may include pouch enlargement, narrowing or obstruction at the connection point. In addition, this revision procedure may be preferred in cases where weight loss is insufficient. Doctor Cihan Şahan is an expert with extensive experience in gastric bypass reconstruction procedure.
4. Other Revision Procedures
In addition to common methods for Gastric Bypass Revision, such as revision with banding and sleeve gastrectomy, or reconstruction of the gastric bypass, other revision procedures may be preferred in some cases. For example, procedures such as gallbladder removal or revision of the biliary tract can be applied to patients who have problems such as bile reflux after gastric bypass.
