Bariatric & Metabolic and Anti –Reflux Surgery in Optimed Hospital

Optimed Hospital offers effective surgical weight loss solutions for people who are severely overweight and for whom traditional weight loss methods have been unsuccessful.

Also known as bariatric surgery (from baros, the ancient Greek word for weight), obesity surgery is designed to work in one of two ways – either to reduce the volume of the stomach and/or to limit the amount of calories that are absorbed. Suitable for patients aged between 18 and 65 who have an obesity problem of more than five years’ standing, the major benefit of the surgery lies in the reduction of the diseases associated with the condition and modern advances in surgical techniques have led to a significant reduction in the mortality rate.

Five methods of Obesity-Metabolic Surgery ( Type II Anti-Diabetes Surgery) and Anti-Reflux Surgery are provided at Optimed Hospital

This reduces the amount of food you can eat at one time. By passing part of the intestine reduces how much food and nutrientss are absorbed. This leads to weight loss.
