Revisional bariatric surgery in Pakistan is a weight loss procedure for patients who have previously undergone gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy but have regained weight. It involves reoperative techniques to improve the results of the initial surgery. The most common revisional procedures include conversion from a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass to a duodenal switch or a revision of a sleeve gastrectomy to a gastric bypass.
Pakistan has a growing number of accredited hospitals offering bariatric surgery with experienced surgeons. However, waiting times can be long due to high demand and limited resources.
