Revision & conversion surgery.

If you’ve found this page, chances are you already had weight loss surgery, and life after it hasn’t turned out the way you hoped. Maybe it’s a sleeve that left you with reflux every night, a band that never stopped causing trouble, pain or difficulty keeping food down, or weight that slowly found its way back. Too many people live like this for years, quietly, believing this is just how it is now, or that they somehow failed.

You didn’t fail. And this is not how it has to be.

You came to the right place. Dr. Sedrak is a board-certified surgeon who trained in minimally invasive surgery at UC San Diego and taught surgery at USC, and he is an expert in revising weight loss operations or converting one into another. He has published on converting a gastric band into a sleeve. He works laparoscopically, through small incisions, which typically means less pain and a faster recovery than open surgery. You had surgery to get your life back. With the right revision, you still can.

Dr. Sedrak has had a gastric sleeve himself. He knows this road from both sides of the operating table.

Individual results vary.
