Our Bariatric Procedures
Gastric Sleeve Surgery
The most popular bariatric procedure worldwide. Approximately 80% of the stomach is removed, creating a smaller, banana-shaped stomach. Patients typically lose 60-70% of excess weight within 12-18 months. This is a permanent, non-reversible procedure performed laparoscopically.
Gastric Bypass Surgery
A highly effective procedure that creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the small intestine. Gastric bypass offers excellent results for patients with BMI over 40 or those with obesity-related health conditions. Expected weight loss is 70-80% of excess weight.
Gastric Balloon
A non-surgical option ideal for patients who need to lose moderate weight or who want to kickstart their weight loss journey. A silicone balloon is placed in the stomach endoscopically and removed after 6-12 months. No incisions, no hospital stay required.
Gastric Band
An adjustable silicone band is placed around the upper portion of the stomach, creating a small pouch that limits food intake. This reversible procedure offers gradual, steady weight loss and can be adjusted over time.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Bariatric surgery may be right for you if you have a BMI of 35 or above, have struggled with diet and exercise alone, suffer from obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or sleep apnoea, are committed to long-term lifestyle changes, and are in generally good health for surgery.
Recovery and Results
Most bariatric procedures are performed laparoscopically, meaning smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery. Hospital stay is typically 2-3 nights. You can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks and normal activities within 4-6 weeks. Our nutritionist provides a detailed post-operative diet plan to support your recovery and long-term success.
