Weight-Loss Surgery (Bariatric Surgery)
Bariatric Surgery is an effective treatment for Type 2 Diabetes patients with obesity.
SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY
The Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery is performed by removing about 75% to 80% of the stomach, reducing the amount of food that is consumed.
ROUX-EN-Y -Y GASTRIC BYPASS
The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass is performed by first, dividing the stomach into a smaller pouch. The small intestine is then also divided and connected to the new stomach pouch, bypassing a major part of the stomach and small intestines. It works by decreasing the amount of food intake.
INTRA-GASTRIC BALLOON
The intra-gastric balloon involves placing a saline-filled silicone balloon in your stomach. This reduces the capacity of the stomach to hold food without surgery.
Why Is A Bariatric Surgery Done?
Bariatric Surgery, also called Weight-loss or Metabolic Surgery is done to help an obese person lose excess weight and improve medical conditions linked to obesity problems such as Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA). All surgical choices are made based on the patient's medical history and suitability. The offered surgery is specifically tailored to the patient's individual needs.
To ensure the long-term success of bariatric surgery, one must prepare for healthy lifestyle changes in the diet and have a regular exercise regime on the road to better life quality.
