Revision Surgery
Are you not experiencing the weight loss results you hoped for?
Bariatric revision surgery can correct your procedure or let you try a different surgery altogether.
The Obesity Control Center in Tijuana, B.C., performs hundreds of revision procedures for patients who want better results.
What Is Bariatric Revision Surgery?
Bariatric revision surgery is a procedure in which a previous bariatric surgery is corrected to provide you with the results you desire. Your revision surgery may include increasing restriction, increasing malabsorption, or converting to a different weight loss surgery.
Patients from across the globe trust us with their revisions: about 30% of the procedures performed at the Obesity Control Center in Tijuana are revision procedures.

I researched for a long time to find the perfect place, and I did. I was treated with dignity and respect, and the care that I received was excellent. The follow up has been amazing, and having access to everyone I need has been so nice. I’m glad I did my research because I could not have found a better place!

Advanced Techniques
We perform bariatric surgery laparoscopically or endoscopically. Laparoscopic surgery can be performed through just a few small incisions, making recovery easier. Endoscopic surgery uses a small flexible scope inserted through the mouth. No sutures are required, so patients don't have to worry about post-surgical scarring.
Minimally-Invasive Care
In addition to performing weight loss surgery using laparoscopy or endoscopy, our bariatric surgeons will always recommend the least invasive method to achieve the best results.
Minimal Complications
Due to our careful procedures and closely monitored follow-up care, our patients experience minimal complications. We have a 0% leak rate and mortality rate, and patients rarely experience the discomfort of heartburn, hernias, or bleeding.
Multilingual Staff
If you're coming to our Tijuana practice from the United States or Canada, you may be worried about a potential language barrier. Our nurses, doctors, and staff speak English, Spanish, Tagalog, and German so your care can be explained to you in your native language. We can even bring in a translator if that makes you feel more comfortable.
Board-Certified Bariatric Surgeons
The Obesity Control Center has three board-certified bariatric surgeons caring for every patient. When you choose us for your care, you'll be with a world-renowned surgeon every step of the way.
Accredited Surgical Center
The Obesity Control Center is fully accredited by the Joint Commission International, which has awarded us the Golden Seal signifying that we meet the highest standards in patient safety and quality available globally. We follow strict international guidelines and abide by the same safety standards as U.S. bariatric centers, and we hold many U.S. certifications.
Amazing Patient Results
This 36-year-old patient received gastric sleeve surgery with our team. He has lost a total of 168 pounds, is no longer taking any medication, and was able to reverse medical conditions like thyroid inflammation, pre-diabetes, hypertension, metabolic-induced seizures, fibromyalgia, chronic joint and back pain, depression, and anxiety. He notes how his quality of life has drastically improved since coming to Tijuana for weight loss surgery and he was able to do more for his health in 10 months than he had in the previous 10 years. It all started with a straightforward procedure with our team.
The Cost of Revision Surgery

Exploring Candidacy for Revision Surgery
Those who wish to undergo revision surgery must first complete a virtual consultation with our team. Candidates must:
-
Have a Failed Weight Loss Procedure
-
Be in Good Overall Health
Aside from your weight, you must be healthy enough to receive anesthesia and recover from surgery. We also recommend quitting both nicotine and alcohol before your surgery and for at least several months after to ensure you heal properly.

Be Committed to the Process
Patients who have already received a bariatric procedure know that the process is a commitment. A revision bariatric procedure is no different. Patients must follow a pre-surgery diet with the help of our nutritionists and be committed to strict diet, exercise, and years of follow-up after their surgery.
