In case of weight regain or insufficient weight loss after SG, revisional surgery with a long BPL should be considered. The OAGB provides effective additional weight loss, with low morbidity and malnutrition rates, respectively. Conversion to the malabsorptive long BPL RYGB with a total alimentary limb length below 400 cm should be avoided. Patients that suffer primarily from post-SG GERD or dysphagia should undergo conversion to PRYGB.
