Gastric Sleeve
Gastric Sleeve surgery removes 75-80% of the stomach, creating a smaller pouch to limit food intake while reducing hunger hormones. This procedure promotes 50-70% excess weight loss over 12-18 months, improving conditions like diabetes and hypertension. Patients benefit from shorter recovery times and preserved nutrient absorption compared to other bariatric surgeries.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric Bypass combines stomach reduction and intestinal rerouting to restrict food intake and calorie absorption. Patients typically lose 60-80% of excess weight, with significant improvements in metabolic conditions. The procedure offers durable results for severe obesity while requiring lifelong dietary and vitamin management to maintain nutritional balance.
Revision Surgery
Revision Surgery addresses complications or insufficient results from prior bariatric procedures. Options include converting gastric bands to sleeves, correcting pouch stretching, or enhancing malabsorption. Each plan is tailored to resolve specific issues while optimizing long-term weight management outcomes through expert surgical intervention and comprehensive post-operative care.
Duodenal Switch
Duodenal Switch combines stomach reduction with extensive intestinal bypass for maximum weight loss, achieving 70-85% excess weight reduction. This procedure offers superior metabolic benefits for severe obesity but requires strict adherence to nutritional protocols. Patients receive specialized support to manage potential long-term dietary adjustments and vitamin supplementation needs.
Metabolic Surgery
Metabolic Surgery targets type 2 diabetes through hormonal and digestive system modifications. Procedures like gastric bypass improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, often achieving disease remission. Patients receive coordinated care addressing both weight management and metabolic health, with ongoing monitoring to sustain long-term glycemic control and overall wellness improvements.
