What is weight loss surgery?
Weight-loss surgery is a very effective tool upon which to build your wellness journey in combination with behavioural and dietary changes.
Performed through a few small incisions the most common operations include:
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
The procedure involves removing approximately 75-80% of your stomach by turning it into a narrow tube.
Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass
The procedure involves creating a small pouch by stapling off a large section of the stomach. A section of the small bowel is attached to this new 'pouch'.
These procedures can assist in sustained, long term weight-loss. Most patients will lose between 25-30% of their starting weight following Gastric Sleeve Surgery and 30-35% following Gastric Bypass. Please note that individual results will vary from person to person.
