Bariatric Surgery

Stand out from the crowd!

Weight loss can be a struggle that can impact on other areas of your life. If you've tried diets, exercise and all other weight loss medical treatments have failed, bariatric surgery may be the answer to help you re-shape your life.

Is surgery the answer?

Bariatric surgeons specialize in obesity solutions and can help you decide on the procedure most suitable for your weight loss goal, whether you want a treatment that is permanent or reversible. Weight loss surgery is only performed on patients who are classified as obese. Patients who want to loose weight but have less fat to loose, may consider non-surgical options such as liposuction.  

Bariatric surgery is only suitable for patients who are classed as medically obese. Calculate your BMI before contacting a surgeon.

How does weight loss surgery work?

Popular surgical, options for non-reversible treatment of obesity include Gastric Bypass Roux-en Y which shortens your bowel and shrinks the size of your stomach and Sleeve Gastrectomy which removes the majority of your stomach. 

Less invasive options for obesity surgery include Gastric Balloon treatment where a balloon is used to shrink the stomach and adjustable Gastric Band surgery, using a band to allow the size of the stomach to be restricted.

There are many surgical options to weight loss and not all are suitable for every patient. A bariatric surgeon will be able to explain your options and advise you on the treatment of obesity most suited to your needs.
