Gastric Bypass

Gastric bypass, or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is a type of weight-loss surgery that involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting the newly created pouch directly to the small intestine. This procedure is done to bypass a significant part of the stomach and the first section of the small intestine, reducing the amount of food intake and the absorption of nutrients, leading to weight loss.

Success Rate: The success rate of gastric bypass surgery is high, with about 80% of patients achieving and maintaining significant weight loss.
Recovery: The hospital stay after gastric bypass is usually 2 to 3 days. Full recovery, including the ability to resume normal physical activities, may take 2 to 3 weeks.

Gastric Sleeve

Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a type of bariatric surgery that involves the removal of about 80% of the stomach, leaving a tubular 'sleeve' about the size and shape of a banana. This procedure is performed laparoscopically and is irreversible. It works by reducing the size of the stomach and thereby limiting the amount of food that can be eaten at one time, while also reducing the production of the hunger hormone ghrelin.

Success Rate: Around 60% to 70% of excess weight loss can be expected within one to two years following the procedure, with high success rates in maintaining significant weight loss over 5 years.
Recovery: Most patients can expect to stay in the hospital for 2 to 3 days following the surgery. Full recovery, including the resumption of normal activities, can usually be expected within 3 to 5 weeks.

SIPS Surgery

SIPS (Stomach Intestinal Pylorus-Sparing) Surgery is a bariatric surgical procedure designed to assist with weight loss by reducing the size of the stomach and rerouting the digestive tract. This surgery is a modification of the traditional duodenal switch surgery, preserving the pyloric valve and avoiding the risk of dumping syndrome.
