1. Sleeve Gastrectomy:

Sleeve Gastrectomy can be stapled to remove a large portion of your stomach to make it flat, leaving a thin ‘sleeve’. It can at times cause complications with eating food and with weight loss, as this requires to be supported by behaviour change.

2. Gastric Bypass Surgery:

 Gastric bypass is one procedure that may help some people achieve specific weight-loss standards. It may also treat some conditions.

3. Mini Gastric Bypass:

Mini gastric bypass shrinks your stomach and reroutes your gastrointestinal tract so you can eat normally again. Your surgeon might even recommend a mini gastric bypass in some cases, after carefully considering your individual needs.

4. Revisional Bariatric Surgery:

A suggested second bariatric operation is additional weight-loss surgery when the patient who recently underwent weight loss regains weight, fails to attain a significant weight reduction, or develops complications from their previous weight loss surgery. The type of second bariatric procedure that is being recommended will depend on the type of previous bariatric surgery performed.

5. ⁠Bariatric Surgery:

Bariatric surgery refers to a group of operations that are aimed at achieving adequate weight loss in suitable candidates with obesity. The procedures may involve sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, mini gastric bypass, and revisional bariatric surgery. Your specific procedure will depend on your health, weight loss goals, medical history, and suitability. Treatment also includes ongoing monitoring, healthy eating, and physical activity.

6.⁠ ⁠Metabolic and Laparoscopic Procedures:

Metabolic and laparoscopic surgery may be an option for some patients needing surgical obesity treatment and other medical conditions. Laparoscopic surgery is the use of small incisions and very long instruments with tiny cameras, operating through these incisions. When appropriate and deemed suitable for surgical treatment, bariatric procedures may assist weight loss and help certain obesity-related diseases like type 2 diabetes. 

How Dr. Amjad Umair Recognizes a Requirement for a Surgical Procedure:

Operability criteria are primarily as follows: 

  • Comorbidities of obesity. 
  • Pattern of weight history and prior weight loss attempts.

  • Existing weight, stature, and BMI
  • Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure
  • Previous weight loss history
  • Past medical and surgical history
  • Nutritional status and nutritional patterns
  • Wants to follow long-term recommended diet and lifestyle changes.
