Bariatric Surgery
Weight loss surgery does not just help with weight loss, but it treats other metabolic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, as well as acid reflux. In addition, surgery greatly reduces the risk of death from cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and other diseases.
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve gastrectomy, commonly known as gastric sleeve surgery, is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure that reduces the stomach’s size to promote effective, long-term weight management.
During this procedure, approximately 70-80% of the stomach is removed, creating a slender “sleeve” that limits food intake and reduces hunger by altering (Ghrelin) hormone levels. With a smaller stomach, patients feel full with less food, leading to sustainable weight loss. As a leading option for weight loss, sleeve gastrectomy can support significant health improvements, including reduced risks of obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.
Gastric Bypass
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a highly effective weight loss surgery designed to help patients achieve significant, sustainable weight loss and improve their overall health.
In this procedure, a small pouch is created from the upper stomach, which is then directly connected to the small intestine, bypassing a large portion of the stomach and upper intestine. This dual approach—restricting food intake and altering digestion—reduces calorie absorption and limits the amount of food needed to feel full.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass has shown remarkable results in not only promoting weight loss but also in helping resolve obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. This well-established procedure offers patients a powerful tool for reclaiming their health and achieving a healthier lifestyle.
