Services
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve gastrectomy removes 80% of the stomach, creating a banana-shaped sleeve that restricts food intake and reduces hunger hormones. This laparoscopic procedure promotes significant weight loss while preserving digestive function. Ideal for patients seeking long-term solutions without intestinal rerouting.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch connected directly to the small intestine, limiting food absorption and altering gut hormones. This dual-mechanism procedure offers rapid weight loss and diabetes improvement. Considered the gold standard for metabolic surgery outcomes.
LAP-BAND
LAP-BAND places an inflatable silicone band around the upper stomach to create a small food reservoir. Adjustable and reversible, this minimally invasive option allows gradual weight loss through portion control without permanent anatomy changes. Regular follow-up ensures optimal band adjustments.
Revisional Surgery
Revisional surgery addresses inadequate weight loss or complications from prior bariatric procedures. Options include converting band procedures to sleeve or bypass, correcting anatomical issues, or addressing weight regain. Each case requires thorough evaluation for appropriate surgical modification.
