What is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric Surgery is a group of surgical procedures designed to aid in weight loss for individuals struggling with severe obesity. These procedures work by restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold, altering the digestive process, or both.
Why Choose Bariatric Surgery?
- Long-Term Weight Loss: Bariatric surgery offers the potential for substantial weight loss and helps individuals maintain a healthier weight in the long term.
- Improved Overall Health: Bariatric surgery can lead to significant improvements in obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and joint pain.
- Enhanced Quality of Life: By achieving weight loss and improving health, bariatric surgery can enhance overall well-being, self-esteem, and confidence.
- Multidisciplinary Approach: Bariatric surgery involves a comprehensive approach, including pre-surgical evaluations, nutritional counselling, behavioural support, and post-operative care.
The Bariatric Surgery Procedure
- Gastric Bypass: This procedure involves creating a smaller stomach pouch and rerouting the digestive tract to bypass a portion of the small intestine.
- Sleeve Gastrectomy: In this surgery, a portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow “sleeve” shape.
- Gastric Banding: A band is placed around the upper part of the stomach to create a smaller pouch, limiting the amount of food consumed.
- Duodenal Switch: This complex procedure combines a sleeve gastrectomy with intestinal rerouting, allowing for weight loss and nutrient absorption control.
