Bariatric surgery is a scientifically proven solution for significant and sustainable weight loss. It works by altering the stomach or digestive tract to reduce calorie absorption and control appetite.
It is recommended for individuals with:
A minimally invasive procedure where a large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow “sleeve.” This limits food intake and reduces hunger hormones. Patients typically lose 60–70 % of excess body weight within 12–18 months.
Also known as One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass, MGB is a simplified yet highly effective procedure. It involves creating a smaller stomach pouch and connecting it to the small intestine, reducing food absorption and improving metabolic health. Benefits: Shorter operative time, excellent diabetes control, and durable weight loss outcomes.
Considered the gold standard of bariatric surgery, RYGB involves creating a small stomach pouch and bypassing part of the small intestine. This limits calorie absorption and triggers favorable hormonal changes. Ideal for: Patients with severe obesity, acid reflux, or uncontrolled diabetes.
For patients who have undergone prior weight-loss surgery elsewhere but faced complications or weight regain, our experts offer revision or corrective procedures to restore safe and effective results.
• Significant, sustained weight loss
• Remission or improvement in diabetes, high blood pressure, and cholesterol
