Our Surgical Options
Every patient’s health profile and goals are unique. During your specialist consultation, your surgeon will discuss the most appropriate surgical option for your needs, ensuring you have all the information required to make an informed decision.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy)
Gastric sleeve surgery involves reducing the size of the stomach to restrict food intake and help regulate appetite controlling hormones.
● How it Works: A significant portion of the stomach is surgically removed, creating a smaller, sleeve shaped stomach pouch.
● Key Aspects: Reduces physical capacity for food and lowers ghrelin (the hunger hormone) levels, assisting with long term weight management and metabolic improvement.
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric bypass restructures the digestive system to both limit food intake and reduce the absorption of calories.
● How it Works: A small pouch is created at the top of the stomach and connected directly to the small intestine, bypassing the rest of the stomach and upper bowel.
● Key Aspects: Highly effective for significant weight loss and particularly beneficial for managing metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes and reflux.
Revision Bariatric Surgery
For patients who have previously undergone weight loss surgery and require adjustments, experience complications, or need further metabolic support, our surgical team offers comprehensive revision procedures following thorough clinical evaluation.
Is Bariatric Surgery Right for You?
Surgical bariatric treatment is typically considered for individuals who:
● Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35 or higher, or a BMI of 30 or higher with associated health conditions.
● Have experienced weight related health issues such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea, or joint pain.
● Have attempted non surgical weight management approaches without achieving long term health outcomes.
● Are committed to making lifelong dietary, physical activity, and lifestyle adjustments.
