RYGB represents one of the best alternatives for weight loss in obese patients achieving a weight loss of up to 60% and a resolution of comorbidities of 70%. Revision surgery contemplates multiple techniques including the conversion from one surgical technique to another, structural changes to the primary technique, among others. GERD is now a long-term problem for patients who have undergone LGS. RYGB is one of the best techniques to resolve this problem.

This study is to demonstrate the safety and viability of using the magnetic system as a second surgical assistant in bariatric surgery and not only for liver retraction.
