What is Bariatric Surgery?

Bariatric surgery is a surgical procedure that aims to reduce the size of the stomach or bypass the small intestine. This procedure results in restricting the intake of food as the size of the stomach pouch is smaller, and one will feel fuller by taking fewer quantities of food. It leads to effective weight loss over time. The surgery is reserved for people who are severely overweight or obese.

Who should be considering bariatric surgery in Dubai?

Types of Bariatric Surgery in Dubai, provided by Gargash

There are different types of weight loss surgery in Dubai offered by Gargash, and they are:

Gastric Bypass: Gastric bypass surgery is one of the most successful kinds of bariatric surgery in Dubai. In this procedure, the surgeon constructs the stomach into a smaller pouch, which places restrictions on the amount of food consumed. The next step is to attach a Y-shaped part of the intestine to the pouch, which helps the food directly move into the second part of the intestine, bypassing the lower stomach. This ensures that only a small amount of calories and nutrients are absorbed into the body.
Sleeve Gastrectomy: The size of the stomach is reduced in this surgical procedure. The stomach is reduced into the shape of a sleeve and hence smaller. This reduces the amount of food that can be taken and, hence, leads to weight loss over time.
Gastric banding: A band is placed on the upper portion of the stomach and made into a small pouch to hold food. The band is adjustable and can be made bigger or smaller, which again leads to gradual weight loss over time.
