Procedure Information
Gastric Sleeve (Lap Gastric Sleeve / Gastrectomy)▼
The operation is performed by key hole surgery and removes around 60% of the stomach using a stapler. This creates a small residual stomach and satiety is achieved through small portions. This procedure is the most common weight loss surgery performed in Australia in 2020 - 2023.
Gastric Band (Lap Gastric Band / MIDBAND™)▼
The MIDBAND™ is placed around the upper part of the stomach. Following band placement, in conjunction with band adjustment (inflation or 'fill'), a resulting constriction of the stomach is achieved at the level of band placement. This constriction slows the passage of food to the stomach below - in the same way as sand flows through an hourglass. Above the area of band placement a small 'pouch' is formed and it is thought that for this reason the person with a well adjusted gastric band is less likely to experience the sensation of hunger.

Results
A relatively small weight loss (5-10%) can result in significant metabolic and cardiovascular health benefits.
Bariatric surgery is currently the most effective strategy available for long-term weight loss control.
Most of the associated conditions are then reduced in severity and many, completely reversed.
There is an improvement in mobility, body image, self-esteem and enjoyment of life.
Weight loss of greater than 10% of the initial body weight provides further health benefits.
Health benefits include blood pressure reduction, improvement in dyslipidaemia and hypertriglyceridemia, reduction in blood sugar levels for Type II Diabetics with insulin resistance and improvement or resolution of sleep apnoea.
