Weight loss surgery offered
Gastric banding (lap banding)
Gastric banding is a highly effective weight loss surgery procedure used to help overweight people achieve significant and long-term weight loss.
The Gastric Band is an inflatable silicone ring that is placed around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach with a small opening to the rest of the stomach. The band controls the amount of food that passes from the stomach into the digestive tract. You will feel satisfied on smaller amounts of food, digestion is slowed and you will feel full for longer all resulting in weight loss.
Gastric bypass surgery
Gastric bypass surgery, the most common form of Bariatric Surgery, is a highly effective and surgically proven method of weight loss. When combined with a supervised diet, increased activity and behaviour modification it can lead to long-term weight loss and the associated health benefits.
A Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass creates a small stomach pouch in the same way as the gastric band. This is then attached to a section of the small intestine. Food then bypasses the rest of the stomach and some of the intestine resulting in the ability to only consume a significantly reduced volume of food. Because a section of the digestive tract is bypassed you do not absorb as many calories causing a secondary weight reducing effect.
