Dr. Joya specializes in difficult
surgeries, and can convert failed Lapband surgeries to
Gastric Bypass surgeries. Also he can convert
failed Gastric Sleeve surgeries to Gastric Bypass
surgeries. He even does Gastric Bypass revision
surgeries. Dr. Joya does not recommend converting
a Lapband to a Sleeve due to the scar tissue and the
higher risk of leaks but rather urges the patient to
consider the RNY surgery as an alternative.
