  • Do you feel like you might need revision surgery but carry shame, fearing it means you "failed" your original procedure? Dr. Melissa Bagloo of Advent Health joins us to bring insight and encouragement. She’ll walk us through what revisional bariatric surgery is, explaining that sometimes it's necessary—not due to any fault of the patient.

KEY TAKEAWAYS: Revisional bariatric surgery is sometimes a necessary step, often due to factors beyond the patient’s control. Both patients and providers need to see it as part of a continued journey, not a failure. Finding the right surgeon is essential: Patients considering revision surgery should seek a surgeon experienced in various bariatric procedures and with whom they feel comfortable. Obesity is a chronic disease. Obesity requires ongoing management and care, and addressing the emotional aspects, such as patient shame, can improve patient experiences and long-term results. The critical point is understanding and accepting that it is a chronic disease.
