Obesity has become a significant health challenge worldwide, and the demand for effective, long-lasting solutions has given rise to the field of bariatric surgery. Our Dubai cosmetic surgery hospital offers a comprehensive range of bariatric surgery options tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs. Our highly qualified, experienced surgical team uses the latest technological advancements to offer solutions that help patients achieve their weight loss goals, improve overall health, and enhance their quality of life.
1. Gastric Bypass
Also known as the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, this procedure involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine. This reduces the amount of food consumed and the absorption of nutrients, promoting significant weight loss.
2. Sleeve Gastrectomy
This procedure involves the removal of a large portion of the stomach, leaving a smaller, tube-shaped stomach. The reduced stomach size results in decreased food intake and faster satiety.
3. Adjustable Gastric Band
A less invasive procedure, an adjustable silicone band is placed around the stomach’s upper part, creating a small pouch. This limits food intake and increases the feeling of fullness. The band can be adjusted for optimal results and removed if necessary.
4. Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch
This complex procedure combines both restrictive and malabsorptive techniques. A significant portion of the stomach is removed, and a portion of the small intestine is bypassed. This procedure is highly effective for significant weight loss but carries greater risks and nutritional deficiencies.
1. BMI Criteria
A patient’s body mass index (BMI) is usually ≥ 40 or ≥ 35 with obesity-related health complications.
2. Previous Weight Loss Attempts
Patients should have tried and failed non-surgical weight loss attempts, such as diet, exercise, and behavioural modification.
3. Comprehensive Evaluation
A full medical and psychological evaluation, including assessment by a multidisciplinary team, is necessary to assess the patient’s overall health and readiness for surgery.
4. Commitment to Lifestyle Changes
Successful candidates must be willing to commit to ongoing lifestyle changes, including healthy eating habits and regular exercise, to maintain long-term weight loss.
1. Nutrition
Adopting a balanced, nutrient-dense diet with the guidance of a dietitian or nutritionist is crucial to ensure proper nourishment and promote weight loss.
2. Exercise
Incorporating regular physical activity into your routine helps support weight management, muscle strength, and overall well-being.
3. Emotional Support
Acknowledging and addressing the emotional aspects of weight loss and lifestyle change, potentially through professional guidance or support groups, can aid in maintaining long-term success.
4. Follow-Up Care
Regular check-ups with the bariatric surgery team, including counselling with dietitians and mental health professionals, play a vital role in monitoring progress and addressing potential complications.
