Gastric Bypass
A roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery creates a new structure out of the existing stomach to create a small pouch. It bypasses a portion of the stomach to reduce the amount of food you can eat at once to help you lose weight.
Gastric Sleeve
Typically performed as a laparoscopic surgery, a gastric sleeve (sleeve gastrectomy) removes around 80% of the stomach to create a tube or sleeve-like structure in order to reduce the amount you can eat and thus lose weight.
Mini Gastric Bypass
A mini gastric bypass operation reduces the size of the available stomach without removing anything. It relies on a series of alterations to the stomach that can be likened to ‘plumbing.’ There is a reduced risk for a hernia and it results in a faster recovery.
Orbera 365 Gastric Balloon
Gastric balloons are a non-invasive way to lose weight. A gastric balloon works by helping patients reduce their feeling of hunger while they make long term habit changes to their diet and exercise routines. Learn more by speaking to one of our specialist patient advisors today.
