Bariatric & Metabolic Surgery
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric bypass surgery is a weight loss procedure that involves creating a small pouch in the stomach and rerouting a portion of the small intestine. This surgical intervention helps restrict food intake and alters digestion, resulting in reduced calorie absorption and long-term weight loss
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical weight loss procedure that involves removing a large portion of the stomach, leaving behind a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This surgery reduces the stomach's capacity, leading to reduced food intake, increased satiety, and significant weight loss.
Gastric Banding
Gastric banding is a surgical weight loss procedure that involves placing an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch. The band can be tightened or loosened to control food intake, promoting weight loss by limiting the amount of food the stomach can hold and increasing feelings of fullness.
Biliopancreatic Diversion
Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) is a weight loss surgery that involves removing a portion of the stomach and rerouting the small intestine to limit food intake and nutrient absorption. This procedure promotes significant weight loss by reducing the stomach size and bypassing a significant portion of the small intestine where nutrient absorption occurs.
Metabolic Surgery
Metabolic surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is a category of surgical procedures aimed at treating obesity and metabolic disorders. It involves altering the anatomy of the digestive system to achieve weight loss and improve metabolic health, often through mechanisms such as restriction of food intake, malabsorption, or a combination of both.
Endoscopic Bariatric Surgery
Endoscopic bariatric surgery refers to minimally invasive procedures performed using an endoscope, a flexible tube with a camera, to access the digestive system. These procedures aim to induce weight loss and improve metabolic health by reducing the stomach size, restricting food intake, or altering the digestive process, without the need for large incisions or open surgery.
Mini Gastric Banding
Mini gastric banding, also known as single-anastomosis gastric bypass or one-anastomosis gastric bypass, is a surgical weight loss procedure that involves creating a small pouch in the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine. This restrictive and malabsorptive technique helps limit food intake and reduces calorie absorption, resulting in weight loss.
