Achievements & Roles
Procedure Information
Orbera Intragastric Balloon▼
The Orbera® Intragastric Balloon is a proven medical device for weight loss. It works by being inserted into the stomach, via gastroscopy under light sedation, and is filled with saline solution to a size that suits the patients individual needs.
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAP-BAND®)▼
The LAP-BAND® System is an adjustable gastric band which is a tool to aid long-term weight loss; it works by inducing a feeling of satiety (a feeling of fullness), therefore patients feel full on a much smaller amount of food.
Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve)▼
The Sleeve Gastrectomy is the fastest-growing weight loss surgery in the world and regarded as the gold standard bariatric procedure for most patients with uncomplicated obesity. Also called "The Gastric Sleeve", it works by reducing the existing stomach to about 80% of the original stomach.
