Bariatric Surgery

1) Gastric Bypass: This procedure involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and directly connecting it to the small intestine. This reduces the stomach size and alters the digestive pathway, leading to reduced food absorption and early satiety.

2) Sleeve Gastrectomy: This surgical intervention involves removing a large portion of the stomach, leaving behind a smaller tube-shaped pouch. This reduces the stomach’s capacity to hold food and regulates appetite by decreasing the production of the hunger hormone.

3) Adjustable Gastric Band: A silicone band is placed around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch. The band can be adjusted by tightening or loosening, limiting the amount of food the stomach can hold and prolonging the feeling of fullness.

4) Duodenal Switch: This surgery combines a sleeve gastrectomy with intestinal bypass. A large portion of the stomach is removed, and the intestines are rearranged to reduce food and calorie absorption.

5) Bariatric Surgery Revision: This procedure is performed to adjust or correct a previous bariatric surgery that did not yield the desired results or led to complications. Revision may involve conversion to another type of bariatric surgery or adjustments to the initial procedure.

Each type of bariatric surgery has its own advantages, disadvantages, and eligibility criteria. The choice of surgery type depends on factors such as body mass index (BMI), medical history, patient preferences, and surgeon recommendations. Thorough medical evaluation and discussions with a healthcare professional are necessary to determine the most suitable type of bariatric surgery for each patient.
