Obesity Surgery

An effective way of losing weight and resolving obesity-related health problems

Over the past decade, obesity surgery has been continuously refined to improve results and reduce risks. Weight loss surgery, also called obesity surgery or bariatric surgery, can be a very effective way of losing weight. These terms are used in order to reflect the impact of these operations on patients’ weight and the health of their metabolism (breakdown of food into energy). Obesity surgery can help achieving significant weight loss and resolve obesity-related health problems, such as type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea or hypertension. There are various surgical options based on restricting the amount of food you can consume, or reducing the ability to absorb nutrients, or a mixed-method of both. Obesity surgery can be a life-saving option for people with severe obesity, but at the same time it is a crucial procedure that poses certain risks and side effects. We perform an extensive evaluation with a multidisciplinary team of experts before initiating a obesity surgery to ensure that each patient receives the medical procedure that is right for him/her.

Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve)

The Gastric Sleeve is an ideal procedure for people who want a long-term surgical option but prefer not to have an implanted device. This is an exciting weight loss option combines many of the advantages of a gastric band with those of a gastric bypass. It works by removing a portion of the stomach to reduce its size by around 80%. The resulting decrease in capacity leads to substantial weight loss. Results of this operation may differ from person to person and will not be the same for everyone. A Sleeve Gastrectomy (or gastric sleeve) is an operation to reduce the size of the stomach. This is achieved by stapling the stomach along its length and removing the excess portion, leaving a long tube or sleeve. Although the shape of the stomach is drastically changed, it still continues functioning normally, albeit the quantity of food consumed will be considerably less. The gastric sleeve is an excellent choice of treatment if your BMI is over 35 and you have been able to lose weight in the past but have found it impossible to maintain that loss in the long term.
