The Need for Revision Surgery at CER Bariatrics
There are various reasons why patients might consider a revision surgery.

Additionally, weight regain post the initial procedure, despite comprehensive care, can be a concern. If you find yourself resonating with these scenarios, our team at Hospital CER, led by experienced professionals, is here to guide you towards a revision surgery tailored to address these challenges.

PROCEDURE
Gastric Sleeve
What It Is:
The Gastric Sleeve procedure, also known as Sleeve Gastrectomy, is a surgical weight-loss technique that removes approximately 80% of the stomach, leaving behind a “sleeve”-like structure.
Why Choose Gastric Sleeve:
This procedure is ideal for those who struggle with portion control and are looking for a permanent solution to weight loss. It’s minimally invasive, has a shorter recovery time, and offers significant weight loss within the first year.
BMI Required:
Candidates typically have a BMI of 35 or higher.
Cost Transparency:
At CER Bariatrics, the price we quote is the price you pay. No hidden fees, no surprises. All pre-surgical tests and unforeseen medical costs are covered, ensuring a smooth journey towards a healthier you.
PROCEDURE
Duodenal Switch
What It Is:
The Duodenal Switch, formally known as Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS), is a complex weight-loss surgery that combines elements of both gastric sleeve and gastric bypass. It reduces the size of the stomach and reroutes a portion of the small intestine.
Why Choose Duodenal Switch:
This procedure is highly effective for those with severe obesity and related health conditions like diabetes. It offers both restrictive and malabsorptive benefits, leading to substantial and long-lasting weight loss. However, it’s crucial to note that this procedure requires a lifelong commitment to specific dietary and nutritional guidelines.
BMI Required:
Ideal for those with a BMI of 40 or above, or 35 with comorbidities.

PROCEDURE
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
What It Is:
The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass is one of the most well-known weight-loss surgeries. It involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a large part of the stomach and a segment of the small intestine.
Why Choose Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass:
This procedure is particularly effective for individuals with Type 2 diabetes or severe obesity. It offers both restriction and malabsorption, leading to significant weight loss and improvement in comorbid conditions. It’s a tried-and-true method with long-term success rates.
BMI Required:
Recommended for individuals with a BMI of 40 or higher, or 35 with associated health conditions.

PROCEDURE
Gastric Balloon
What It Is:
The Gastric Balloon is a non-surgical weight-loss option that involves placing an inflatable silicone balloon into the stomach. This balloon takes up space, helping you feel full faster and reducing the amount you eat.
Why Choose Gastric Balloon:
Ideal for those who are hesitant about surgical options or have a lower BMI, the Gastric Balloon offers a temporary yet effective solution for weight loss. It’s inserted endoscopically and can be removed after six months, making it a less invasive choice with minimal downtime.
BMI Required:
Suitable for individuals with a BMI between 30 and 40.
Cost Transparency:
Your financial well-being is as important to us as your physical health. At CER Bariatrics, the quoted price for the Gastric Balloon procedure is all-inclusive, covering any pre-surgical tests and unexpected medical costs. No hidden fees, no surprises—just transparent, ethical healthcare.
PROCEDURE
Mini Gastric Bypass
What It Is:
The Mini Gastric Bypass is a simplified, yet highly effective, version of the traditional gastric bypass. It involves creating a smaller stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine, but with fewer anastomoses (connections), making it less complex.
Why Choose Mini Gastric Bypass:
This procedure is ideal for those who seek the benefits of a gastric bypass but desire a shorter operating time and recovery period. It offers significant weight loss and improvement in obesity-related conditions, all with less surgical complexity.
BMI Required:
Candidates generally have a BMI of 35 or higher.
Cost Transparency:
At CER Bariatrics, what you see is what you get. The price quoted for the Mini Gastric Bypass is your all-inclusive ticket to a healthier life, covering all pre-surgical tests and any unexpected medical costs. No hidden fees, no unwelcome surprises—just straightforward, transparent healthcare.
PROCEDURE
Lap Band Revision Surgery
What It Is:
Lap Band Revision Surgery is a secondary procedure that adjusts, replaces, or removes a previously implanted laparoscopic adjustable gastric band. This surgery aims to address complications or inadequate weight loss results from the initial Lap Band surgery.
Why Choose Lap Band Revision Surgery:
If you’ve experienced issues such as band slippage, erosion, or insufficient weight loss with your initial Lap Band, this procedure offers a corrective path. It’s tailored to your specific needs, whether that means adjusting the band or converting to a different bariatric procedure altogether.
BMI Required:
Applicable for those who had a previous Lap Band with a BMI of 35 or higher.
Cost Transparency:
Your trust is our priority at CER Bariatrics. The price quoted for Lap Band Revision Surgery is all-encompassing, covering all pre-surgical evaluations and any unforeseen medical costs. No hidden fees, no unexpected charges—just transparent, patient-focused healthcare.
PROCEDURE
RYGB Revision: Bypass Distalization & Partial Gastrectomy
What It Is:
RYGB Revision, specifically Bypass Distalization & Partial Gastrectomy, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to modify an existing Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. This revision aims to enhance weight loss outcomes by lengthening the bypassed segment of the small intestine and removing part of the stomach.
Why Choose RYGB Revision:
If you’ve had a Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass but are experiencing weight regain or insufficient weight loss, this revision surgery offers a tailored solution. It’s designed to optimize your weight loss journey by making adjustments to the original procedure, ensuring long-term success.
