At Yupiter Hospital, we understand that weight management can be challenging, and sometimes traditional methods like diet and exercise are not enough. Bariatric surgery encompasses a range of surgical procedures designed to facilitate significant weight loss by altering the digestive tract. These surgeries are often recommended for individuals who struggle to lose weight through conventional means or who face health risks related to their weight.
Types of Bariatric Surgery
- Gastric Bypass: This procedure creates a small pouch in the stomach, which connects directly to the small intestine, allowing food to bypass a portion of the stomach.
- Sleeve Gastrectomy: A substantial portion of the stomach is removed, resulting in a smaller, tube-shaped stomach that restricts food intake.
- Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS): This involves a sleeve gastrectomy followed by connecting the intestine to the duodenum, facilitating considerable weight loss.
Indications for Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery may be indicated for individuals facing the following health issues:
- Heart diseases
- Stroke
- Hypertension
- Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
