How do we choose the right bariatric operation?
There is no single operation that suits everyone. The choice depends on the patient’s health, eating pattern, reflux or diabetes, previous operations and ability to continue follow-up after surgery.
What do we review before deciding?
- Weight and previous weight-loss attempts
- Diabetes, blood pressure, sleep apnoea and other medical conditions
- Reflux, swallowing difficulty and previous abdominal operations
- Eating pattern, nutrition and psychological readiness
- Surgical risks, treatment goals and ability to continue follow-up
Operations that may be discussed
Sleeve gastrectomy
Reduces the size of the stomach. We review reflux, eating pattern and nutrition needs before choosing it.
Gastric bypass
Reduces food intake and changes absorption of some nutrients. It may suit selected patients with diabetes or reflux.
Other options
A different operation, staged treatment or non-surgical care may be more suitable after assessment.
The decision is made with the patient
No operation guarantees a specific amount of weight loss or treatment of a particular condition. Before deciding, we explain the benefits, risks, alternatives and importance of lifelong follow-up.
