  Bariatric Surgery (Surgery for Morbid Obesity)
Gastric Sleeve: It is a procedure which is restrictive in which the stomach is converted into a long sleeve. The stomach is stapled along its length and is converted to a reduced volume of about 100-150 ml It is simple and is associated with low morbidity and a rapid recovery. It is performed as a staged procedure in patients with BMI >60 Kg/m2 or as a primary procedure in patients with low BMI.
Gastric Bypass: It is a procedure which is both restrictive and malabsortive. In this procedure, stapling creates a small stomach pouch (15-20 ml), this forms the restrictive element. The outlet from this newly formed pouch empties directly into the lower portion of the small intestine, thus bypassing a certain length of the intestine. This forms the malabsorptive element as no absorption occurs in the segment of intestine bypassed. This surgery is more effective in inducing weight loss. It has other major advantages like significant improvement and even cure of diseases like diabetes mellitus, hypertension and metabolic syndrome
Gastric Banding: It is a procedure which is done by placing a band in the upper part of stomach dividing it into two sections. There is a small opening between the sections allowing the food to pass through. The section above the band acts like the stomach that fills with food quickly. As this section of the stomach is filled and stretches, signals are sent to the satiety centre of the brain causing you to feel satisfied for several hours. This surgery does not restrict the quality food intake and high calorie liquid intake can hinder weight loss
