Bariatric surgery refers to a group of procedures performed to help individuals with severe obesity lose weight. It works by altering the digestive system to limit the amount of food that can be eaten and digested, or by causing malabsorption of nutrients.

 

The most common types of bariatric surgery include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, adjustable gastric band, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch. The choice of procedure depends on the patient's health, lifestyle, and weight loss goals.

 

Bariatric surgery is often considered when diet and exercise haven't worked or when serious health problems related to weight exist. It can significantly improve and often resolve obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and sleep apnea.

 

However, it isn't a quick fix. Lifelong commitment to a healthy lifestyle and regular follow-up care is necessary to maintain weight loss and ensure the success of the procedure. Post-surgery, patients often need to meet with dieticians to follow specific dietary guidelines and ensure they're getting the right nutrients.

Our PROCEDURE for Bariatric Surgery

​

Bariatric surgery encompasses various procedures aimed at achieving weight loss by modifying the digestive system. The selection of a specific procedure depends on individual health factors and weight loss goals.

 

Here are four common types of bariatric surgeries:

1. Gastric Banding:

   • Involves the placement of an implanted medical device, typically a gastric band, to reduce the stomach's size.

   • Restricts food intake by creating a smaller stomach pouch, inducing a sense of fullness with smaller meals.

2. Sleeve Gastrectomy:

   • In this procedure, a portion of the stomach is surgically removed, leaving a smaller, tube-like structure.

   • Reduces the stomach's capacity and restricts the amount of food that can be consumed, aiding in weight loss.

3. Gastric Bypass Surgery:

   • Entails resecting and re-routing the small intestines to create a small stomach pouch.

   • Limits both the stomach's volume and the absorption of nutrients, resulting in significant weight loss.

4. Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch:

   • Involves removing a portion of the stomach and rerouting the small intestine to limit nutrient absorption.

   • Effective for substantial weight loss and addressing related health conditions.

 

These procedures are transformative interventions that can help individuals struggling with severe obesity achieve significant and sustained weight loss. The choice of surgery depends on factors such as the patient's overall health, body mass index (BMI), and specific weight loss objectives.
