It is a soft intragastric device which is filled with a saline solution and then placed in the stomach. It fills a portion of the stomach making a person feel less hungry. This, in turn, enables them to eat smaller portions while still experiencing the feeling of being full. For successful weight loss, you should stick to a customized weight loss plan that includes exercise and diet before, during and after the period in which the gastric balloon is in place.
The gastric sleeve is a procedure that shows promising results if you’re looking to lose weight. The surgery is performed by our qualified surgeon in our clinic. By restricting food absorption and reducing hunger, the gastric sleeve might be your best option.
Advantages of gastric sleeve include lower cost, less dumping, fewer complications and does not require adjustments after the initial surgery.
Adjustable gastric banding is considered to be one of the least invasive surgery for weight loss. The procedure involves placing an implant, a soft silicone ring with an expandable balloon around the upper part of the stomach. A person eats enough food only to fill the top part of the stomach. Over time, after the meal, the food passes through the opening of the band into the remainder of the stomach, and digestion continues normally. This way you will feel fuller much sooner and can prevent yourself from overeating.
If the operation is successful, you are expected to achieve long-term weight loss results. However, this heavily depends on your ability to keep up with your new lifestyle. Long-term weight loss should improve any obesity-related health problems you may have such as heart disease, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and type 2 diabetes.
Gastric bypass is a method of treating obesity. During the operation, the volume of the stomach is reduced by separating the upper part of the stomach from the rest of the stomach, and the digestive tract is shortened by connecting the reduced stomach directly to the middle part of the small intestine. This limits the amount of food a person eats and reduces the number of calories and nutrients one absorbs as food bypasses part of the digestive system. Surgery-induced changes in hormones that help a person feel full for longer lead to the suppression of appetite and restoration of the metabolic syndrome caused by obesity.
Gastric bypass surgery is applied when other methods of treating obesity, such as diet and physical activity, are not effective, or when being overweight causes serious health problems.
