Surgical procedures
Gastric Sleeve
- Strategic slimming: A minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure reduces your stomach size by approximately 80%, eliminating hunger centres and decreasing the hunger hormone.
- Efficient digestion: The surgery leaves you with a smaller gastric tube (around 100ml), promoting rapid fullness and limiting food intake.
Advantages of Gastric Sleeve Surgery:
- Minimally invasive: Experience a swift recovery with laparoscopic surgery, including a short hospital stay and minimal postoperative discomfort.
- Effective weight loss: Achieve sustainable weight loss results with the gastric sleeve procedure.
- Metabolic benefits: Experience improved metabolic conditions associated with obesity, like diabetes and high blood pressure.
- Enhanced satiety: Post-surgery, you'll eat less and feel full more quickly, effectively curbing your appetite.
Gastric Plication
- Experience the transformative power of gastric plication, a minimally invasive bariatric procedure that reduces stomach size without implants or metallic staples.
The procedure:
- This method involves creating folds in the gastric wall, followed by suturing the folds using non-absorbable surgical threads. As this procedure avoids gastric resections, the risk of complications is exceptionally low, nearly non-existent.
Advantages:
- No implants or staples are involved
- Minimally invasive, rapid recovery
- Significant weight reduction
- Metabolic benefits: Addresses obesity-related conditions
Gastric Bypass
- Discover the transformative power of gastric bypass surgery, strategically separating a small portion of your stomach, leading to better digestion and significant weight loss.
Procedure Overview:
- Stomach isolation: A small stomach section is separated from the rest, creating a smaller upper pouch.
- Intestinal connection: A portion of the intestine is linked to the isolated stomach pouch, allowing food to bypass the small intestine's lower stomach and upper part.
- Quick satiety: Food quickly reaches the intestinal lining with the modified pathway, triggering a swift sensation of fullness.
Advantages:
- Enjoy a sense of fullness sooner after eating
- Minimal invasiveness ensures faster recovery
- Addresses metabolic issues associated with obesity
