What does a Bariatric Surgery doctor do?
A bariatric surgeon treats severe obesity surgically: sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass and other procedures. Surgery is recommended for people in whom diet and medication have failed and whose body mass index is above 40, or above 35 with a related condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnoea. Treatment is more than the operation — preoperative preparation, a nutrition plan and lifelong follow-up are integral parts of it.
Common reasons to consult
- Obesity with BMI 40 or more
- BMI 35+ with diabetes, hypertension or apnoea
- Failure of dieting
- Post-operative follow-up
- Vitamin and mineral deficiency
- Assessment for revision surgery
Frequently asked questions
Who is bariatric surgery suitable for?
People with a body mass index above 40, or above 35 with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea or joint disease — provided at least 6 months of supervised diet and lifestyle change have not produced lasting results.
What is the difference between a sleeve and a bypass?
A sleeve gastrectomy removes about 75–80% of the stomach and leaves the bowel untouched; it is the simpler operation. A bypass creates a small stomach pouch joined to the bowel and may be preferred for patients with reflux or severe diabetes. The choice is made after an individual assessment.
How much weight can I lose?
Most patients lose 60–70% of their excess weight in the first 12–18 months. Keeping it off depends on following the eating rules, physical activity and regular follow-up; the operation alone is not enough.
Will I need vitamins for life after surgery?
Yes. Once the stomach is smaller or the intestinal route is changed, absorption of iron, B12, vitamin D, calcium and other nutrients falls; lifelong vitamin and mineral supplements and a yearly blood test are required.
