What Is Balloon Revision Surgery?
Balloon revision surgery is the revision of, or revision of, a gastric balloon in a patient who has failed to benefit from earlier treatment. Sometimes the balloon must be moved, switched out or removed entirely if there is a problem. Revision can also include transferring to another bariatric surgery (gastric sleeve or bypass, for example) for longer-term weight loss.
