Bariatric and metabolic surgery
Bariatric and metabolic surgery is the most effective and long-lasting treatment for severe obesity resulting in significant weight loss and the improvement, prevention or resolution of many related diseases including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, sleep apnea and certain cancers.
Principles of Bariatric surgery
The basic principle of bariatric surgery is to restrict food intake and decrease the absorption of food in the stomach and intestines.
Bariatric surgery is designed to alter or interrupt the digestion process so that food is not broken down and absorbed in the usual way.
A reduction in the amount of nutrients and calories absorbed enables patients to lose weight and decrease their risk for obesity-related health risks or disorders.

Types of Bariatric surgery
GABP RING IMPLANTATION
GABP ring implantation is a procedure of placing a band or ring (GaBP ring) around the stomach pouch to control increased gastric reservoir capacity following gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy.
INTRA GASTRIC BALLOON PROCEDURE
Saline-filled silicone balloons temporarily placed in the stomach through mouth via an endoscope. This procedure helps to limit the amount of food one can eat.
MINI GASTRIC BYPASS/ONE ANASTOMOSIS BYPASS
Mini Gastric bypass/one anastomosis bypass is an attractive bariatric procedure. It is effective in weight loss and comorbidity resolution. It is a relatively simple and fast operation with low complication rates that make it a suitable option in super-obese individuals.
ROUX- EN-Y GASTRIC BYPASS
Stomach reduced to size of walnut and then attached to middle of small intestine, bypassing a section of the small intestine (duodenum and jejunum), and limiting absorption of calories.
SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY
Stomach divided and stapled vertically, removing more than 85%, creating tube or banana-shaped pouch restricting amount of food that can be consumed and absorbed by the body.
ILEAL INTERPOSITION
Ileal interposition is a promising procedure for control of type- 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, weight reduction and also associated metabolic abnormalities.
GASTRIC BONDING
Adjustable silicone band filled with saline wrapped around upper part of stomach, creating small pouch that restricts food intake.
BILIOPANCREATIC WITH DUODENAL SWITCH (BPD - DS)
The majority of the most stretchable portion of the stomach is permanently removed and roughly two thirds to three-fourths of the upper small intestines are bypassed.
ROBOTIC SURGERY
Robotic bariatric surgery provides surgeons with a greater range of motion, precision, and overall efficiency. Bariatric robotic surgery is done using a robot called the da Vinci Robotic System. Robotic surgery uses small incisions instead of a large abdominal incision and therefore is less invasive than traditional bariatric surgery.
