Gastric sleeve/balloon/bypass

What is Bariatric / Gastric Surgery?

Bariatric surgery refers to surgical procedures designed to help patients achieve significant weight loss by modifying the stomach and digestive system. The most common procedures include:

Gastric Sleeve: Removes a portion of the stomach to reduce size and appetite.
Gastric Balloon: A non-surgical, temporary balloon is placed in the stomach to limit food intake.
Gastric Bypass: Re-routes the digestive system for reduced calorie absorption and appetite control.

These procedures are effective for patients struggling with obesity, related health conditions, and difficulty achieving results through diet and exercise alone.
