Bariatric Surgery
Procedures Offered
VSG. Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy.
This procedure involves the reduction of your stomach to about 20-40 percent. This is a laparoscopic surgery where the surgeon divides the stomach using a stapling device - the bigger divided portion will be removed entirely from the stomach which results in only having the remaining smaller portion of the stomach that looks like a small tube or a “sleeve”.
Roux-en-Y. Bypass.
This is also a laparoscopic procedure which uses the combination of restrictive and malabsorptive techniques. The surgeon will reduce your stomach into a smaller pouch using staples. This will allow the stomach to hold less food. The small intestine will then be cut and attached to the new pouch, which results in a large portion of the small intestine being bypassed to limit calories and nutrients absorption.
Intragastric Balloon (IGB)
Gastric balloon placement is a weight-loss treatment that involves placing a saline-filled silicone balloon in your stomach, reducing your appetite and helping you eat less. If you're struggling to lose weight through diet and exercise, this may be an option for you, but long-term success requires permanent lifestyle changes.
