Who May Benefit
- Individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher.
- Patients with a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions (type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure).

Treatment Options
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Removing approximately 80% of the stomach, creating a narrow sleeve-like tube to restrict food intake.
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Creating a small stomach pouch and routing a portion of the small intestine directly to it, reducing absorption.
Mini Gastric Bypass
A simplified bypass procedure combining sleeve restriction with intestinal redirection, offering high efficacy.
Clinical Recovery Timeline
Hospital stay is usually 2 to 3 days. Pain is mild to moderate and managed with medications. A strict liquid diet is followed for the first 2 weeks, transitioning to pureed foods for weeks 3 and 4. Most patients return to light activities in 2 weeks, with steady long-term weight loss over 12 to 18 months.
