Bariatric Revision Surgery in Tijuana:Your Second Chance at Lasting Success.
Expert revision of failed gastric sleeve, bypass, or other procedures at Obesity Control Center — leaders with over 26,000 successful surgeries and one of the lowest complication rates worldwide.
Why Bariatric Revision Surgery Is Often Necessary
Primary bariatric surgery is life-changing — but not always permanent. Up to 15–35%+ of patients experience inadequate weight loss or significant weight regain long-term.
Stretched pouch or dilated sleeve
Anatomical enlargement reducing restriction and satiety over time.
Significant weight regain
Affects 15–35%+ of bariatric patients long-term per published literature.
Inadequate initial weight loss
Less than 50% EWL after primary surgery or plateau within first 18 months.
Severe reflux (GERD)
Common after sleeve gastrectomy — revision to bypass or MagDI™ can resolve symptoms.
Unresolved comorbidities
Persistent type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea despite weight loss.
Dependence on GLP-1 medications
Patients seeking a durable surgical solution beyond lifelong injections.

"After my sleeve stretched and I regained 60 lbs, OCC revised me to MagDI™. Two years later I'm down 95 lbs and finally off all medications."
"My original bypass failed at year seven. The team rebuilt my pouch — I'm back to my surgical low and my reflux is gone."
"I tried GLP-1s for two years. Tired of needles, I chose OCC's revision. Best decision of my life — Dr. Ortiz and his team are exceptional."
"Cost in the US was $42,000. OCC gave me a better procedure, JCI hospital, concierge — all-inclusive for under $9,000."
