Combined Laparoscopic Revision of the Gastric Pouch and Distalization of the Roux Limb After Failure of Weight Loss Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Purpose: After failed Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), the choice of a secondary procedure falls into many pathways: revision of the gastric pouch, distalization of the bypass (DRYGB), addition of an adjustable gastric band, and conversion to a duodenal switch (BPD/DS). Material and Methods: We present the case of a 54-year-old man with initial BMI of 51.5 kg/m2, who first underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in 2010. In 2012, he underwent a RYGB procedure, and in 2015, a pouch resizing for weight regain. In 2018, he reached a BMI of 41.2 kg/m2.
