Weight Loss Surgeries
The journey to a healthier you can be transformative. Weight loss surgeries can be a significant step towards achieving your desired health goals.
| SURGERY | WHAT IS IT? | BENEFITS |
| Gastric Sleeve | Removes up to 80% of your stomach, resulting in a smaller ‘sleeve’. | Reduces hunger sensations and limits food intake capacity. |
| Gastric Bypass | Reduces stomach size and reroutes the digestive tract. | Reduces appetite, promotes early fullness, and limits calorie absorption. |
Sometimes, the initial weight loss surgery might not provide the expected results or might lead to certain complications. Revision surgeries can help address these issues and get you back on track.
| SURGERY | WHAT IS IT? | BENEFITS |
| Gastric Band to Sleeve Conversion | Removes gastric band and transitions to gastric sleeve. | Alleviates discomfort from the gastric band and promotes further weight loss. |
| Gastric Band to Bypass Conversion | Removes gastric band and converts to gastric bypass. | Addresses gastric band issues and aids in further weight loss. |
| Gastric Sleeve to Gastric Bypass Conversion | Modifies the digestive tract to transition from gastric sleeve to bypass. | Enhances weight loss progress, especially if results from the gastric sleeve have plateaued. |

This will depend on your own level of pain tolerance and the procedure you’re having. Anaesthetic will be used to minimise any discomfort during the surgery, and you can take over-the-counter pain medication to help post-procedure.
Anaesthetic will be used as part of your procedure to help minimise any pain and discomfort. Depending on which surgery you’re having, this will either be general, local or twilight anaesthetic.
General anaesthetic means that you’ll be asleep throughout the surgery, while local anaesthetic means that the area being operated on will be numbed. Twilight anaesthetic is slightly different and uses a combination of local anaesthetic with sedation.
We’ll let you know in plenty of time which type of anaesthesia you’ll be having so that you can prepare accordingly.
It is possible to have more than one procedure at a time. Your surgeon will be able to advise you on whether this is suitable for you and the procedure(s) you’re having.
This will depend on your location and which surgery you’re having. We have a selection of modern, state-of-the-art hospitals that we operate from – you can find your closest location here.
