Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, involves modifying the digestive system to facilitate weight loss. These modifications can limit food intake, nutrient absorption, or both. It’s typically considered when alternative methods, such as diet and exercise, have not been successful or when individuals face significant health risks due to obesity.

At Medcy, we understand that undergoing weight loss surgery can be physically and mentally challenging. That’s why our team of highly experienced bariatric surgeons is dedicated to providing personalised care throughout every step of your weight loss journey.

Types of Bariatric Surgery at Medcy.

Bariatric surgery encompasses various medical procedures, each designed to promote weight loss differently. At Medcy Hospitals, we offer the following weight loss surgeries.

Gastric Sleeve

A gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, removes a significant portion of the stomach, reshaping it into a slender, banana-shaped pouch or sleeve.This reduces the amount of food intake, leading to decreased calorie consumption and significant weight loss.

Gastric Bypass

The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a surgical procedure that creates a small stomach pouch and connects it directly to the small intestine. Food then bypasses the larger part of the stomach and a segment of the small intestine. This procedure is highly effective as it limits both the stomach capacity and the absorption of nutrients.

Gastric Band Surgery

Gastric band surgery restricts food intake by placing an adjustable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach. The band creates a smaller pouch, and its tightness can be adjusted through fluid injections to control the opening to the rest of the stomach. A smaller opening promotes a feeling of fullness with less food, leading to reduced calorie consumption.

Gastric Balloon Treatment

An Intragastric Balloon treatment is a minimally invasive procedure where a saline-filled silicone balloon is temporarily placed in the stomach. This helps patients feel fuller much more quickly, leading to reduced food consumption. It functions as a short-term medical implant, designed to complement a long-term diet and lifestyle changes to facilitate weight loss.

Weight Loss Surgery (Achieving Long Term Results )

While various bariatric procedures offer pathways to weight loss, achieving long term results fundamentally depends on the patient’s commitment to a healthy lifestyle. This includes consistent healthy eating, regular exercise, and adherence to prescribed nutrient supplementation.
