Weight loss treatments offered
-
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band: The adjustable gastric band (sometimes known as lap banding) is a restrictive procedure. A silicone band is placed around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch above the band, about the size of a golf ball and a large pouch below the band.
-
Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass: There are several variations of a gastric bypass, the most common procedure in the UK is the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, also known as RYGB. It is a combination of restrictive and malabsorptive procedures, and therefore has a two way weight reducing effect.
-
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: The sleeve gastrectomy is a restrictive procedure. Two thirds of the stomach are resected and removed, leaving a smaller stomach in the shape of a sleeve.
-
Gastric Balloon : The gastric balloon is a tool that aides weight loss. It stays in the stomach for 6 months and you follow a low calorie diet, attend regular behaviour modification module meetings to work alongside the balloon for 12 months.
