RNY Gastric Bypass Surgery

RNY Gastric Bypass Surgery is a type of weight loss surgery that involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine to this pouch.

The procedure is typically performed laparoscopically, using small incisions and a camera to guide the surgeon.

 

The RNY (Roux-en-Y) Gastric Bypass Surgery is a popular option for patients with obesity-related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. It is considered a safe and effective way to help patients lose weight and improve their overall health.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric Sleeve Surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a weight loss surgery that involves removing a portion of the stomach to create a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach.

The procedure is typically performed laparoscopically, using small incisions and a camera to guide the surgeon.

 

Gastric Sleeve Surgery is a popular option for patients with obesity-related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. It is considered a safe and effective way to help patients lose weight and improve their overall health.

Revisional surgery

Revisional surgery, also known as revision weight loss surgery, is a type of surgery that is performed to correct or improve the results of a previous weight loss surgery.

The procedure is typically performed when a patient has experienced inadequate weight loss, weight regain, or complications from their initial surgery.

 

Revisional surgery can involve a variety of procedures, depending on the patient’s individual needs and circumstances. Some common revisional surgeries include converting a gastric band to a gastric sleeve or bypass, revising a previous gastric bypass, or removing a gastric balloon.

The Ellipse Gastric Balloon

The Ellipse Gastric Balloon is a swallowable capsule that can help patients achieve weight loss without surgery.

The capsule contains a deflated balloon that is inflated with fluid after being swallowed, taking up space in the stomach and helping patients feel full after eating smaller portions of food.

 

The Ellipse Gastric Balloon is typically left in the stomach for about four months, after which time it is deflated and removed via a simple outpatient procedure. The procedure does not require any incisions, and patients can typically resume their normal activities within a few days.
