Bariatric Surgery

Surgical weight loss for long-term transformation

Bariatric surgery is the most effective long-term treatment for severe obesity, with most patients losing 50–80% of their excess body weight and significantly improving or resolving obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnoea.

We offer all major bariatric procedures — sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, mini gastric bypass and adjustable gastric band — performed laparoscopically by experienced bariatric surgeons. Full pre-operative work-up, dietitian support and lifetime follow-up are included in our programme.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which procedure is right for me?

Sleeve gastrectomy is the most commonly performed; gastric bypass offers greater weight loss for some patients. Your surgeon will recommend based on your BMI, medical history and goals.

Is bariatric surgery reversible?

Sleeve gastrectomy is not reversible; gastric bypass and banding can be reversed though reversal is not routinely recommended.
