Based on the complete evaluation, the surgeon confirms whether bariatric surgery is a safe and effective option.

Procedure for Bariatric Surgery

If you qualify to proceed with bariatric surgery your surgeon may recommend you some lab tests and instructions to prepare for the specific type of weight loss surgery that can be the best option for you.

Here are the procedures of all types of bariatric surgeries.

  1. Gastric bypass: This is one of the most common surgeries for weight loss. During this procedure, the surgeon creates a small pouch by cutting a part of your stomach and attaching it directly to the small intestine.
  2. Sleeve gastrectomy: This treatment removes 80% of the stomach, leaving just a pouch-shaped stomach.
  3. Gastric band: The surgeon places a gastric band around the stomach and creates a small pouch in your stomach.
  4. Duodenal switch: A tube-shaped pouch is created and connected with the major part of the small intestine, similar to sleeve gastrectomy.
