Bariatric surgery encompasses a medical field in which surgical procedures are performed to promote weight loss and reduce the risk of metabolic diseases in overweight or obese individuals. These surgical interventions accelerate weight loss and improve the health of patients. As Enodia Health, we support patients' healthy life journey with our teams specialized in obesity surgery and our modern technological infrastructure.
Scope of Obesity Surgery
- Sleeve Gastrectomy (Sleeve Stomach Surgery): In this procedure, the stomach is reduced and remains in the shape of a tube. This reduces a person's capacity to eat and therefore promotes weight loss.
- Gastric Bypass Surgery (Stomach Bypass Surgery): In this procedure, the stomach is reduced and connected directly to the small intestine, bypassing a part of the intestine. This promotes weight loss by both reduced food intake and reduced absorption of nutrients.
- Adjustable Gastric Banding (Known as Lap Band): In this procedure, an adjustable band divides the stomach into two, creating a smaller pouch at the top. The tightness of the band can be adjusted so that a person's eating habits and weight loss goals can be taken into account.
- Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD): In this procedure, the stomach is reduced and the intestine is redirected. This both reduces food intake and promotes weight loss by reducing the absorption of nutrients, but can be more invasive and risky than other procedures.
