About the Surgeon
Dr Jacobus Jordaan
Our tight-knit team of experienced specialists is headed by Dr Jordaan – a specialist upper gastrointestinal surgeon with over 25 years of surgical experience – and includes anaesthetists, bariatric nurses, dietitians and a clinical psychologist. We work together to design the best possible plan for each individual patient – from initial consultation, surgery and dietary management, to ongoing care that continues well after your procedure is complete.
“We select the right procedure for you, perform it with the utmost safety, and support you through every step with a multi-disciplinary team who provides individualised care.”
Procedure Information
Sleeve Gastrectomy65 to 70 per cent of excess body weight, with some patients achieving up to 100 per cent loss▼
A weight loss operation in which a thin vertical sleeve of stomach is created using a stapling device via keyhole surgery. The newly-created gastric sleeve will only hold between 50ml and 150ml, and is about the size and shape of a banana. It aids weight loss through portion control, hunger control, healthier food choices, and altered metabolism.
Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)60 to 80 per cent of excess weight▼
A surgical technique that alters the pathway of food from the stomach to the small bowel, creating a smaller pouch of stomach and diverting food from the first part of the small bowel. It is both a restrictive and malabsorptive form of bariatric surgery. RYGB requires two anastomoses and is considered the preferred form of bypass surgery for the majority of patients.
Gastric Bypass (Mini / MGB)▼
A newer form of gastric bypass surgery where a long, narrow stomach pouch is formed through surgical stapling and attached to the small bowel. This single anastomosis bypasses approximately two metres of small bowel. It is a suitable form of surgery for individuals with a higher BMI or Type 2 Diabetes where gastric sleeve is not as effective.
Gastric Banding▼
Gastric banding involves placing an adjustable band around the top of your stomach done with keyhole surgery. Six weeks after surgery your band will be adjusted at two and four-week intervals until the band reaches optimal level of restriction on the stomach.
