Why Consider Bariatric Surgery?
With bariatric surgery, you're thin for life by reconfiguring the body's digestive tract to restrict the amount of food the body to digest or absorb. With Royal Medical Center, we integrate the most advanced surgical methods with personalized care and post-op follow-up, transforming weight, overall health, energy, and improving quality of life.
What are the Types of Bariatric Surgery Available at Royal Medical Center?
We perform different bariatric surgeries here at Royal Medical Center, Abu Dhabi, such as:
• Gastric Bypass: It reduces the size of the stomach by separating it into a pouch and redirecting the digestive tract, reducing the amount of food and calorie intake. It is one of the most effective surgeries for severe weight loss as well as for obesity ailments such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
• Sleeve Gastrectomy: where the upper portion of the stomach is removed, and the stomach becomes thin and tubular in size. It limits food intake and lowers the hunger hormone as well, and the patients lose weight with fewer associated conditions and with less rehabilitation.
• Adjustable Gastric Banding: A soft, inflatable band is put around the upper part of the stomach and creates a small sac of food with a slowing down of the digestion process, leading to a sense of fullness. It's adjustable, reversible, and least invasive—appropriate for a person who would prefer an adjustable but least invasive way of weight loss.
• Mini Gastric Bypass: a less invasive version of the original bypass; less intestinal rerouting is done during surgery. Primarily weight loss, but easier surgery, quicker surgery, and shorter convalescence, thus ideal for most patients.
• Revision Bariatric Surgery: Those whose initial bariatric surgery was challenging are given a second opportunity through revision surgery. Our expert surgeons tailor each revision to restore safety, maximize results, and make long-term wellness goals more achievable.
