What happens if my bariatric surgery operation is unsuccessful?

What happens if my bariatric surgery operation is unsuccessful? Okay, that's a tricky one. It depends on what unsuccessful means. And there are different definitions of unsuccessful surgery. So people who have the sleeve gastrectomy or the gastric bypass operations, we expect them to lose more than 20% of their total body weight. If they lose less than that, we consider that they have not had an optimal, the best response to that operation. If someone has had a sleeve gastrectomy and they have not lost enough weight, or they have regained the weight that they have lost, there is theoretically the option of undergoing an airway-wide gastric bypass to cause some more weight loss. The problem is that the NHS will not pay for that, so it can only be done privately. If a patient has had the gastric bypass, which is by far the best operation available for weight loss and diabetes, there is nothing else that can be done. There isn't a modification that can be made to make that operation even more effective. However, what you could consider is adding weight loss medications to your treatment after the surgery in order to optimize to make your weight loss even better.
