Procedure Information
Gastric Sleeveapproximately 1 kilogram per week until their body weight reaches a healthy range▼
Gastric Sleeve Surgery is currently the most popular weight loss operation in the world and induces rapid and significant weight loss. Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy involves removing approximately 80% of the stomach. The remaining stomach is a tubular pouch that resembles a banana.
Revision SurgeryGenerally, weight loss will be less extensive after revision surgery, compared to primary surgical procedures.▼
Bariatric surgery is a successful tool for combating obesity and weight gain. However, some patients may need a secondary, or revisionary procedure. Our clinic has substantial experience in many forms of Revision Bariatric surgery. Generally, we advise waiting three months between removal of lap band before undertaking further surgery such as sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass.
Metabolic Surgery▼
Metabolic surgery consists of gastrointestinal procedures—primarily sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass—that not only facilitate significant weight loss but also dramatically improve metabolic health. These surgeries are highly effective in managing Type 2 Diabetes, particularly in patients with obesity.
