Frequently Asked Questions

Bariatric Surgery FAQs

Bariatric revision surgery, also called re-do bariatric surgery, is a corrective procedure for patients who have previously undergone weight loss surgery but did not achieve desired results or developed complications.

Common reasons include:

  • Inadequate weight loss or weight regain
  • Complications from the first surgery (e.g., strictures, ulcers, reflux)
  • Issues with the initial procedure such as gastric band slippage or pouch dilation
  • Need to convert to a more effective weight loss method

Dr. Nikolas offers different approaches depending on your condition, including:

  • Band removal or conversion to sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass

  • Sleeve to gastric bypass revision for reflux or poor weight loss

  • Adjustments to pouch size or bypass length

  • Correction of complications from previous surgery

Laparoscopic Surgery FAQs

MALS stands for Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome, a rare condition where the median arcuate ligament compresses the celiac artery, leading to abdominal pain, weight loss, and digestive issues. Laparoscopic MALS surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that releases this compression to restore normal blood flow.

Common symptoms include:

  • Chronic upper abdominal pain (especially after meals)

  • Unexplained weight loss

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Bloating and digestive discomfort

  • Reduced appetite

  • Minimally invasive with smaller incisions

  • Faster recovery compared to open surgery

  • Less post-operative pain

  • Shorter hospital stay

  • Effective relief from chronic abdominal pain and digestive symptoms

You may be a candidate if you have:

  • Diagnosed MALS with confirmed imaging (CT angiography, ultrasound, or MRI)

  • Persistent abdominal pain affecting daily life

  • No improvement with conservative treatments
    Dr. Nikolas carefully evaluates each patient to confirm candidacy.

  • Most patients stay in the hospital for 1–3 days.

  • Light activities can usually be resumed in 1–2 weeks.

  • Full recovery may take 4–6 weeks, depending on overall health.

The cost of MALS surgery in Dubai varies depending on:

  • Complexity of the condition

  • Hospital and anesthesia charges

  • Surgeon’s expertise
    Dr. Nikolas provides a detailed treatment plan and cost estimate during consultation.

  • Specialist in laparoscopic & upper GI surgeries

  • Extensive experience treating rare conditions like MALS

  • Minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery

  • Patient-centered approach with personalized care
