At Gama Hospital, we provide bariatric (weight loss) surgery to help individuals suffering from obesity, especially those whose quality of life is compromised due to weight-related complications. Bariatric surgery plays a crucial role in improving overall health and enhancing life quality for patients who have struggled with traditional weight loss methods.

Bariatric Surgery Unit at Gama Hospital

Our bariatric surgery unit offers two different types of procedures to help you achieve your ideal weight. Your surgeon will work with you to determine the best option based on an evaluation of various factors including age, BMI, medical history, and related conditions.

Types of Bariatric Surgery We Offer:

1. Gastric Bypass Surgery: Gastric bypass is one of the most common procedures for weight loss. It works by reducing the size of the stomach and bypassing a portion of the intestine, which decreases food absorption and leads to significant weight loss.

2. Sleeve Gastrectomy: Sleeve gastrectomy involves removing a large portion of the stomach to reduce its size, which helps to limit food intake and promotes a feeling of fullness more quickly.

How Is the Right Procedure Chosen?

The best procedure is chosen based on a comprehensive evaluation, including your BMI, medical history, and other health conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. Your surgeon will guide you through the decision-making process to determine the most suitable approach for your specific needs and goals.
