Gastric Bypass patients generally seek revision weight loss surgery for two reasons: 1) failure to lose adequate weight and/or weight regain, 2) medical complications (medical complications after Gastric Bypass may lead to failure). Failure after Gastric Bypass may be due to mechanical or metabolic reasons; the eating behaviors of a patient should be considered as well. In fact, the first step in assessing a patient who has failed to lose adequate weight after Gastric Bypass, is to look carefully at the patient's food consumption. The best way to analyze food intake is to simply start a detailed food diary. Patients are often shocked at how many calories they do consume on a daily basis.
