Our General Services

Explore a range of minimally invasive treatments designed to support weight loss and improve health outcomes.

Intragastric Balloon

A temporary balloon placed in the stomach to reduce hunger and portion size. Ideal for short-term weight loss and pre-surgical preparation.

Sleeve Gastrectomy

Removes 75–80% of the stomach, forming a sleeve that limits food intake and hunger. Offers long-term weight loss and health improvements.

Medical Weight Loss

Personalized, non-surgical plans including diet, lifestyle guidance, and approved medications under medical supervision.

Gastric Bypass

A proven surgical method that reduces stomach size and alters digestion, resulting in significant, sustained weight loss.

Nutritional Counseling

Ongoing support with custom diet plans and education to help patients make informed, healthy eating choices post-procedure.

Bariatric: A Comprehensive Overview

Bariatric surgery, also referred to as metabolic surgery, is a specialized set of procedures designed to assist with weight loss by altering the digestive system. These surgeries go beyond weight control—they also positively affect metabolism and help in managing conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and elevated cholesterol levels.

By supporting both weight reduction and metabolic balance, bariatric procedures not only help prevent future health complications but also enhance overall quality of life and longevity for individuals struggling with obesity.

Bariatric Surgery

Modern Techniques & Safety

Studies show these surgeries are safer than many commonly performed operations like gallbladder removal or hip replacement.

How Bariatric Surgery Works

The goal is to help patients reach and maintain a healthy weight while improving obesity-related health issues.

Types of Bariatric Procedures

1. Sleeve Gastrectomy

What It Is: Removes about 75–80% of the stomach, creating a smaller, tube-like stomach.

How It Works:

  • Reduces food capacity
  • Removes hunger-producing stomach part
  • No intestinal rerouting

Pros:

  • Lower complication risk than bypass
  • Effective for weight and diabetes control
  • Ideal first step for severe obesity

Cons:

  • Irreversible
  • Can worsen acid reflux
  • Less metabolic effect than bypass

2. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)

What It Is: Creates a small stomach pouch connected to the small intestine.

How It Works:

  • Limits food intake
  • Reduces absorption of nutrients
  • Improves gut hormones and glucose metabolism

Pros:

  • Proven long-term weight loss
  • Effective against obesity-related conditions
  • Often helps resolve acid reflux

Cons:

  • Technically more complex
  • Higher vitamin deficiency risk
  • Possible dumping syndrome or blockages

3. Adjustable Gastric Band (AGB)

What It Is: A silicone band is placed around the stomach’s upper part.

How It Works:

  • Slows food passage
  • Adjustable via a port under the skin

Pros:

  • No cutting or rerouting
  • Low initial complication rate
  • Removable

Cons:

  • Slower weight loss
  • Requires regular adjustments
  • Risk of slippage or erosion

4. Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS)

What It Is: Sleeve gastrectomy with extensive small intestine bypass.

How It Works:

  • Reduces intake
  • Decreases absorption of calories and nutrients
  • Strong hormonal changes benefit diabetes

Pros:

  • Highly effective for diabetes and obesity
  • Significant appetite reduction

Cons:

  • Increased risk of deficiencies
  • More complex and longer surgery
  • Can cause diarrhea and heartburn

5. Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve (SADI-S)

What It Is: A simplified version of the duodenal switch with one intestinal connection.

How It Works:

  • Begins with sleeve gastrectomy
  • Connects stomach to lower small intestine

Pros:

  • Excellent weight loss
  • High success in diabetes control
  • Faster procedure than traditional bypass

Cons:

  • Limited long-term data
  • May cause nutritional issues
  • Possible reflux or loose stools
