Bariatrics

Bariatric surgery - the surgical treatment of obesity - is a rapidly expanding surgical field. One reason for this is that obesity in the developed world is reaching epidemic proportions, and another is that surgery can be an effective solution when conventional treatments such as dieting and drug therapy fail. The two most commonly used types of surgery are sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. These operations are performed laparoscopically with instruments inserted through tiny incisions in the abdomen.

Both types of surgery can result in radical, lifelong changes and improvements in patients' weight and health. Both types of surgery can help enormously to change eating habits, but a commitment to conscious lifestyle change is essential to achieve and maintain long-term results.

Tube gastric bypass surgery is technically somewhat simpler than gastric bypass surgery and the associated risks are somewhat lower, but its effectiveness may be lower and its physiological effects may differ. To decide which type of bariatric surgery is more likely to benefit your health, based on your personal circumstances and the risks involved, please consult our bariatric surgeons.
