Revision of bypass: Well, it's called a revision of a gastric bypass and it can involve making the pouch smaller, making the anastomosis smaller, or both. Occasionally, a lap band can even be placed around the gastric pouch too. The risks of a leak are much higher in a revision than during the initial gastric bypass and that is important to understand. Also, wt loss is less after revisions.
