Types Of Weight Loss Surgery
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Considered one of the most common and most effective weight loss procedures.
This procedure involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine to this new pouch.
Sleeve Gastrectomy
For this procedure, the surgeon removes a large portion of the stomach, leaving behind a smaller “sleeve” shaped stomach. This smaller stomach therefore holds less quantity of food, leading to weight loss.
The procedure involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine to this new pouch. The small intestine is then rerouted in a loop fashion, which creates a shorter connection between the stomach pouch and the small intestine.
The procedure is also known as a single anastomosis gastric bypass or a loop gastric bypass
Mini-Gastric Bypass
Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS)
BPD/DS involves removing a large portion of the stomach and rerouting the small intestine to a new connection with the remaining stomach. This procedure leads to weight loss by limiting the amount of food you can eat and reducing the absorption of calories.
SADI: Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileostomy
This procedure is a variant of BPD/DS, it’s a two-step procedure that includes first a sleeve gastrectomy and then the duodenal switch.
