Meet Your Revision Specialist
Revision surgery is significantly more complex than a primary sleeve. It requires a surgeon who specializes in correcting anatomy, not just creating it.
As a lead contributor to ASMBS national guidelines and a specialist in complex revisions, Dr. El Djouzi doesn't just perform surgery. He investigates why your first procedure stopped working and fixes the root cause.
"I don't just perform revision surgery. I find out why your first surgery didn't work and create a personalized plan to ensure lasting success this time."
Find Your Path
There is no "one-size-fits-all" revision. A simple re-sleeve might fix a dilated pouch, while severe reflux often requires a conversion to Gastric Bypass.
