Comment on: Surgical Therapy of Weight Regain Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

I would like to congratulate the authors for an excellent study attempting to answer the important question of how to surgically manage patients presenting with significant weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). The study is a retrospective analysis of a small series of patients (84 patients) with weight regain after RYGB.1 In addition, 39% of these patients were converted to RYGB from laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG).
