Sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass and metabolic surgery. Obesity is a disease, and treating it takes a lasting plan.
Operations in this area
- Sleeve GastrectomySleeve gastrectomy is one of the most frequently performed operations for obesity worldwide. This page explains what the procedure actually does, who meets the criteria for it, and what changes afterwards.
- Gastric BypassGastric bypass is one of the longest-established operations in bariatric surgery and one of the best studied. This page sets out how it works, who may be a candidate, and what changes permanently afterwards.
- Gastric BalloonA gastric balloon is a temporary, endoscopically placed device — not an operation. This page explains how it is fitted, who it may suit, and where its limits begin.
- Gastric BotoxGastric botox is an endoscopic procedure with a temporary effect. This page explains how it is performed, who might consider it, and — just as importantly — what it does not replace.
- Type 2 Diabetes SurgeryType 2 diabetes surgery — also called metabolic surgery — uses established bariatric operations with glycaemic control as the primary goal. This page explains the mechanism, the criteria, and what to expect afterwards.
