Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery works by either limiting the stomach’s capacity for food or by bypassing the length of the small intestine to minimize nutrient absorption. A combination of both methods can also be applied to promote weight loss. Three common types of bariatric surgery performed at our bariatric unit are sleeve gastrectomy, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. All operations are performed laparoscopicaly with an overnight hospital stay.
