Can weight loss surgery be reversed? - Dr. Sumit Talwar

There are various types of bariatric surgeries. There are mainly 3 kinds of surgeries that we do nowadays. One is called a Lap band in which a band is put around the stomach to reduce the size. This surgery is currently not too much in favour as the weight loss is not very great and lot of people will start to gain weight even when the band is in place. Band is though, a very easily reversible surgery, you have to just remove the band by another surgery and you’ll be back to where you were and you will gain all the weight what you had lost. Second type of surgery is the Sleeve Gastrectomy, in which we staple the stomach and remove the excess stomach. This surgery is not reversible. The third type of surgery is a Gastric Bypass which can either be a Roux-en- Gastric Bypass or a Mini- gastric bypass. Both of these surgeries are reversible, although it takes another surgery and it may not be a very simple operation to do. The thing to note here is, you don’t want the surgery to be reversible, because you want whatever has been done. To remain like that for the rest of your life. Only then, you will keep the weight that you have lost for life.
