Why Consider Bariatric Surgery?


Bariatric surgery is one of the most effective treatments for obesity, offering:

  • Improvement or resolution of chronic conditions
  • Increased lifespan
  • Reduced cancer risk

Sleeve Gastrectomy

A highly effective and commonly performed procedure.

How it works:
  • Removes 70-80% of the stomach
  • Creates a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach
  • Reduces hunger hormones
Expected Results:
  • Lose 25-30% of total body weight in ~1 year
Best for:
  • Patients with prior abdominal surgeries
  • Patients needing a staged approach

Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)

One of the most well-studied and powerful procedures.

How it works:
  • Creates a small stomach pouch
  • Bypasses part of the small intestine
  • Alters hormones that control hunger and blood sugar
Expected Results:
  • Lose 30-35% of total body weight
Best for:
  • Patients with severe acid reflux
  • Patients with type 2 diabetes

SADI-S (Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileostomy)

A highly effective, advanced weight-loss procedure.

How it works:
  • Combines sleeve gastrectomy with intestinal bypass
  • Reduces calorie absorption
  • Enhances metabolic effects
Expected Results:
