Background: Revisional bariatric surgery after an index adjustable gastric band (AGB) may be indicated to remedy weight relapse or band-related complications. We examined outcomes five years following revision from AGB to laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (AGB-LSG) or to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (AGB-RYGB).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review to identify patients (men and women, age 18-80) who underwent one revisional bariatric procedure with AGB as the index procedure at two medical centers in our healthcare system between January 2012 and February 2017. We only included patients with a pre-revision BMI > 30 kg/m for whom 5-year follow-up data were available. We compared 5-year weight loss and remission of comorbidities in patients undergoing AGB-LSG and AGB-RYGB conversion.
Results: A total of 114 patients met inclusion criteria (65 AGB-LSG, 49 AGB-RYGB). At 5-year post-revision, percent total weight loss (3.4% vs 19.9%; p < 0.001), percent excess weight loss (7.0% vs 50.8%; p < 0.001) and decrease in BMI (1.5 vs 8.8; p < 0.001) was greater in AGB-RYGB vs. AGB-LSG. No significant difference in remission or development of new comorbidities was observed.
Conclusion: Conversion of AGB to RYGB is associated with superior intermediate-term weight loss compared to conversion of AGB to LSG. Future multicenter studies with larger sample sizes are necessary to further describe the intermediate-term outcomes of revisional bariatric surgery.

Background: Previous studies showed a high conversion rate and failure of restrictive procedures, including sleeve gastrectomy (SG), adjustable gastric banding (AGB), gastric plication (GP), and vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) in a long-term follow-up. The current study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a revisional one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) for weight loss and treatment of obesity-related problems after primary metabolic and bariatric restrictive procedures.
Methods: A retrospective study on prospectively collected data was conducted on a sample of 151 patients who experienced insufficient weight loss or weight regain after primary restrictive surgeries and underwent OAGB as a revisional procedure.
Background: Recurrent weight gain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is common. Revisional endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (r-ESG) has been shown to be a promising endoscopic bariatric therapy (EBT) to treat weight recurrence after LSG. However, to date, weight loss outcomes beyond 1-year follow-up are unknown.

Background: Marginal ulcers (MUs) are potential complications following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. Our institution performs 3 different laparoscopic gastrojejunal anastomosis (GJA) techniques. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of MUs between 25-mm circular stapler (CS), linear stapler (LS), and hand-sewn (HS) GJA techniques using data collected over a 10-year period.

Introduction: One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) is a common procedure associated with satisfactory outcomes. Revisional surgery due to weight regain or insufficient weight loss (WR/IWL) after OAGB is underreported.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of a single-bariatric surgeon database was conducted.
