Types of Bariatric Surgery We Offer
1. Gastric Bypass Surgery
It includes the creation of a small pouch in your stomach and redirecting the small intestines to the pouch.
It reduces the amount of food you can eat and the number of calories your body absorbs.
2. Sleeve Gastrectomy
This consists of removing part of your stomach and then closing it to form a tube-like structure.
It reduces the quantity of intake by drastically bringing down the size of the stomach, hence reducing hunger hormones.
3. Adjustable Gastric Banding
– A band is inserted through the abdomen and placed around the top portion of the stomach, thereby creating a small pouch.
The band is adjusted to allow a certain amount of food to be ingested at a time.
4. Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS)
-Combines sleeve gastrectomy with bypassing of the majority of the small intestine.
Has the highest rate of success in weight loss and in controlling obesity-related diseases, but the risks are also higher.
