Bariatric & Metabolic Surgery

A Structured, Medical Approach to Obesity & Metabolic Health

Bariatric surgery is a scientifically guided, long-term treatment option for people living with severe obesity and weight-related health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnoea.

It is not a shortcut. It is a tool—combined with nutrition, movement and follow-up—to help achieve safer, sustained weight loss and improve metabolic health when non-surgical methods have not been enough.

Supports long-term weight reduction in carefully selected patients
Can improve or reduce medication needs for diabetes, BP and joint pains
Performed laparoscopically in most cases for faster recovery

Who May Benefit from Bariatric Surgery?

Suitability is decided after a full medical and nutritional assessment. These are common clinical scenarios where bariatric surgery may be considered.

Severe Obesity

Patients with high BMI, difficulty losing weight despite structured diet and exercise, and increasing impact on day-to-day life and mobility.

Diabetes and blood pressure illustration

Weight-Related Illness

Obesity associated with conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea, PCOS, fatty liver or joint problems.

When Non-Surgical Methods Are Not Enough

Patients who have tried supervised diet, exercise and medical therapy, but have not achieved adequate or sustained results.

Types of Bariatric & Metabolic Procedures

The “best” procedure is not the same for everyone. It depends on your weight, eating pattern, medical history and long-term goals. The decision is individual, made after a detailed consultation.

Laparoscopic procedures through small cuts in most cases
Focus on safety, metabolic benefit and long-term follow-up
Choice of procedure is personalised—not one-size-fits-all

Commonly Performed Procedures

Sleeve Gastrectomy

Reduces the size of the stomach to help you feel full earlier and eat smaller portions, while also impacting hunger hormones.

Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)

Creates a smaller stomach pouch and reroutes the intestine to achieve both restriction and metabolic effects, especially useful in diabetes.

Mini / One-Anastomosis Bypass

A bypass procedure with a single key connection, chosen selectively in suitable patients after detailed counselling.
