Surgical Options
There are two main surgical approaches to weight loss:
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG)
This procedure removes a substantial portion of the stomach, creating a sleeve shape. It also reduces ghrelin (the hunger hormone), helping to control appetite.
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes part of the small intestine, reducing both the amount of food you can eat and the calories your body absorbs.
Our Role
At Gastroscope Clinic, we specialise in gastroenterology and endoscopy - not surgery. However, we conduct thorough assessments to determine whether surgical or endoscopic interventions are most appropriate for your situation, and can refer you to a bariatric surgeon when needed.
