Bariatric surgeries

1. Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)

Gastric bypass is one of the most effective weight-loss surgeries, involving the creation of a small stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine. This procedure significantly reduces food intake and calorie absorption, resulting in substantial weight loss and improvement in obesity-related conditions such as diabetes.

2. Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve)

Sleeve gastrectomy is a minimally invasive procedure where a large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a “sleeve” that is about the size of a banana. This surgery reduces stomach capacity and helps patients feel fuller with smaller portions, leading to long-term weight loss.
