Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgeries:

  • Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y) – This is the most common procedure. It creates a small pouch in the stomach, limiting food intake. The small intestine is then rerouted to bypass a portion of the intestine, reducing nutrient and calorie absorption.
  • Sleeve Gastrectomy – This procedure removes about 80% of the stomach, resulting in a banana-shaped sleeve. This restricts food intake and alters gut hormones that regulate hunger and satiety.
  • Duodenum Switch Surgery (Regular)
  • Duodenum Switch SADI Surgery (Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileostomy)
  • Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD-DS) – This is a complex surgery combining elements of gastric bypass and malabsorptive procedures. It restricts food intake and significantly reduces the absorption of nutrients.
