Procedure Information
Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)approximately 30 to 35 percent of their total body weight▼
A Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) is a keyhole procedure that involves creating a thin stomach pouch by stapling off a larger stomach section. A loop of small bowel is then attached to the gastric pouch. The effect is that your body absorbs less of the available energy from your food, and it will also cause you to feel full after consuming smaller portions.
Removal of Lap Band▼
The Lap Band, tubing and port are removed by keyhole surgery. To access the Lap Band, the scar tissue around the band is cut and the band, tubing and port are removed. In some circumstances, it may be appropriate to convert to another kind of bariatric surgery at the same time as band removal.
Revisional Bariatric Surgery▼
Revisional bariatric surgery is sometimes required to address the negative side effects or complications following previous bariatric surgery. It may include steps such as trimming or reducing the size of the gastric pouch, removal of a gastric band, re-sleeving a stretched stomach, replacement or fixation of a lap band access port, or conversion to another type of bariatric surgery.
One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB)approximately 30 to 35 percent of their total body weight▼
The OAGB is a keyhole procedure that involves creating a long, thin stomach pouch by stapling off a larger stomach section. A loop of small bowel is then attached to the gastric pouch. The larger portion of the stomach and a length (typically 150 centimetres) of the small intestine is bypassed in the digestion of food.
Sleeve Gastrectomy▼
Sleeve Gastrectomy is one of the bariatric procedures performed by Dr Xavier Moar. Detailed description not available from the pages provided.
