Procedure Information
Gastric Sleeve Surgery▼
This is the most common and safest form of surgery. Your stomach volume is reduced to approximately ½ - ¾ of a cup size. You will experience a significantly reduced appetite, and improved satiety.
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass▼
This is better for patients with significant and debilitating reflux. You cannot have this surgery if you are taking NSAIDs or have been a smoker. Risk is ~5%.
Single Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (SAGB)▼
This surgery is similar to Roux En Y, but has only one join, not two. Can get bile reflux in ~10%.
Loop-Duodenal Switch▼
This surgery constitutes <1% of all bariatric operations. It is high risk in the long term with nutritional deficiencies and significant malabsorption.
Revision Bariatric Procedures▼
This surgery is becoming more common. It constitutes about 30% of Dr Devadas' cases. These cases usually involve going from a band to sleeve or bypass operations.
