Revision Surgery

BARIATRIC REVISIONAL SURGERY

While it doesn’t happen often, some patients may need to have a prior weight loss surgery revised. If you have had bariatric surgery and have run into problems, or are unhappy with your overall results, please contact our office at 419-251-8760 to arrange a private consultation with bariatric surgeon Matthew Fourman, MD, to determine if revision surgery is right for you.

Every person who has undergone weight loss surgery is unique and there is no "one size fits all" when it comes to revisional bariatric procedures. So if you are considering revision surgery, especially if you have gained much or all of your original weight back since your procedure, Dr. Fourman will be happy to meet with you and discuss whether another solution might be beneficial.

At Mercy Weight Management Center, we’re committed to people who struggle with weight issues and want to help you lose weight for life. That’s why we offer revisional bariatric surgery that many other bariatric surgeons and programs in the Toledo area do not offer.

Please call us at 491-251-8760 to see if we can help you. We look forward to meeting you.

TRANSFER PATIENTS

Life happens. Mercy Weight Management Center understands this and will gladly accept you as a transfer patient if you:

• Have had bariatric surgery and have moved away from where your initial program is located.
• Have had bariatric surgery with another program and have gained a significant amount of your initial weight back again.
• Have had your original bariatric surgeon leave the Toledo area and need follow-up care. (One thing that makes our program unique is that we strive to make sure all our patients achieve lifelong weight loss success. That’s why we are one of the only surgical weight loss programs in the Toledo area that accepts patients who were originally cared for by another surgeon or program.)
• Feel like your current program is no longer meeting your weight loss needs.

If you meet any of these criteria, we would be pleased to have you join the Mercy Weight Management Center program. You are welcome to attend one of our FREE Weight Loss Seminars, or you may schedule a private consultation with Dr. Fourman or another one of our team members. Please keep in mind that all transfer patients will be expected to pay a program fee. Office visits with our staff may be covered by insurance or may be self-pay. You can contact our office at 419-251-8769 for more information.
