Bariatric Surgery at
Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowarie
People living with obesity face widespread weight bias and discrimination. Add to this the risk of countless additional co-morbidities and you have a dangerous concoction in the pipeline. When diet and exercise don’t seem to produce the results you need, Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowarie’s Bariatric Surgery programme can help you achieve your healthy weight loss goals through surgery and sustained lifestyle changes. Along with stellar medical and surgical care, we offer nutritional education, counselling along with psychological and social support.
What is Bariatric Surgery?
In combination with a healthy diet and exercise, bariatric surgery is a treatment modality for improving obesity and obesity-related diseases. It involves making changes to the digestive system — either to cause a reduction in the amount of food you are able to eat comfortably or a reduction in the absorption of calories from the food you eat, or both. This results in the management of weight and ultimately improves health and well-being.
What are the speciality services available at Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowarie?
Focusing on weight reduction and healthy lifestyle changes, bariatric surgeons at Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowarie provide comprehensive pre-operative, peri-operative, and post-operative surgical care. Some of the speciality services offered include:
Comprehensive Assessment
Our experts analyse the cause of your obesity and depending on your age and other lifestyle factors determine if and which kind of weight loss surgery would best suit you.
Bariatric Surgery:
Based on your condition, our experts recommend and perform the following types of bariatric surgery both by open and laparoscopic procedures:
- Gastric bypass (known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) creates a small stomach pouch out of a portion of the stomach and attaches it directly to the small intestine
- Sleeve or vertical sleeve gastrectomy creates a small stomach pouch without affecting the small intestine
- Gastric banding ties up a portion of the stomach
Support Services:
Bariatric surgery is considered a success when you not just lose weight but successfully manage to keep it off. It involves a change in lifestyle and at times, patients may require support and counselling through the journey. Holding your hand every step of the way, our hospital offers support through the entire continuum of care — right from nutrition to counselling and even support groups.
