Types of Weight Loss Surgery
Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Requires a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35 – can be lower if comorbidities present.
A gastric sleeve limits food intake and reduces the production of the hunger hormone, ghrelin, which changes the way that patients feel hunger. Typically performed as a laparoscopic surgery, a gastric sleeve (sleeve gastrectomy) removes around 80% of the stomach to create a tube or sleeve-like structure.
This bariatric surgery permanently makes a smaller stomach and requires a specific diet plan to have a safe and effective recovery. Recovery time takes between 6-8 weeks and typically requires 1-2 weeks off of work.
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Requires a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35 – can be lower if comorbidities present
A roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery creates a new structure out of the existing stomach to create a small pouch. It bypasses a portion of the stomach in order to reduce the amount of food you can eat at any one time to help you lose weight. It effectively re-plumbs the stomach.
It’s a major operation and should be carefully considered. The expected weight loss is up to 70% of your excess weight within the first two years. Recovery time takes between 6-8 weeks and typically 1-2 weeks off of work.
Mini Gastric Bypass
A mini gastric bypass operation works by reducing the size of the available stomach without removing anything. It relies on a series of alterations to the stomach that can be likened to ‘plumbing.’ It doesn’t cut through the bowel or small intestine, and as such, there is a reduced risk for a hernia and it results in a faster recovery. Recovery time takes between 6-8 weeks and typically requires 1-2 weeks off of work.

Following your surgery, all patients will receive our renowned aftercare service, which includes two years of contact with your surgeon, nurses, and our HCPC Registered dietitians.

Calculate Your BMI
How is body mass index (BMI) measured?
An individuals BMI is calculated by using the following formula:
