    Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS) effectively treats severe obesity, leading to long-term weight loss and resolution of related health issues.

  • 2

    Revisional Bariatric Surgery (RBS) accounts for 9–18% of all MBS, primarily due to weight regain or insufficient weight loss after initial procedures.

  • 3

    Elderly patients undergoing RBS show relatively good outcomes, with no established age limit for MBS according to recent guidelines.

  • 4

    The study included 40 patients aged ≥ 65 years who underwent RBS due to inadequate weight loss or regain after previous restrictive procedures.

  • 5

    Surgical procedures were performed laparoscopically, with various techniques including OAGB, SG, and RYGB, and outcomes were assessed at a 5-year follow-up.
