PreoperativePreparation Bariatric Surgeries

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.

Success Rate: With a proper diet and exercise, patients can expect to lose 70-80% of their excess weight within two years of the surgery.

Recovery: Patients typically stay in the hospital for 2-3 days after SIPS surgery. Full recovery, including return to normal activities, is usually expected within 4-6 weeks.

Gastric Balloon

The gastric balloon is a non-surgical, minimally invasive weight loss procedure. A soft silicone balloon is inserted into the stomach and filled with a saline solution, creating a sense of fullness, and thus, reducing food intake. It is usually performed on an outpatient basis and is temporary, with the balloon typically removed after six months.
