Weight Loss Treatments

GASTRIC BAND

Gastric banding, also known as laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), involves placing a silicone band around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch that can hold only a small amount of food.
GASTRIC SLEEVE

Gastric Sleeve Surgery, also known as Sleeve Gastrectomy, has gained immense popularity as the go-to weight loss procedure worldwide, thanks to its ability to deliver rapid and substantial weight loss results.

Gastric Sleeve involves the removal of approximately 80% of the stomach, leaving behind a tubular pouch that closely resembles a banana in shape.
REVISION SURGERY

Revision surgery may be recommended for individuals who have previously undergone weight loss surgery but have not achieved the desired results or have experienced complications.
