What is Bariatric Surgery?

Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, includes a variety of procedures designed to help individuals lose weight by altering the digestive system. These surgeries are typically recommended for patients with:

• • Severe Obesity: A body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher.
  • Obesity with Health Complications: A BMI of 35 or higher with conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea.
  • Inability to Lose Weight Through Traditional Methods: Despite diet, exercise, and medical interventions.

Common Types of Bariatric Surgery

• • Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy): Removes a portion of the stomach to reduce its size and limit food intake.
  • Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y): Creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the digestive system to bypass part of the stomach and small intestine.
  • Gastric Balloon: A non-surgical option where a balloon is placed in the stomach to create a feeling of fullness.
  • Duodenal Switch: A combination of gastric sleeve and intestinal bypass for significant weight loss.

Our partner surgeons use advanced techniques, including minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, to ensure the best possible outcomes.
