Surgical treatments are often the best options after failing more traditional approaches and progressing through advanced treatment options. The same is valid for obesity. If you have tried to lose weight by following a healthy lifestyle and strenuous physical activity with no luck, consider a more advanced approach. Nowadays, different types of advanced weight loss surgeries are available for individuals who have exhausted all the other options from across the globe, like Weight Loss surgery for New York, London, Toronto, etc.
Advanced Laparoscopic Weight Loss Surgery
Weight loss surgery or bariatric surgery comprises a group of surgical operations that help you lose weight by changing the digestive tract. There are different types of weight loss operations. Some procedures make the stomach smaller and limit the food you eat once so you can feel full sooner. Other approaches change the small intestine, the part of the digestive tract that absorbs energy and nutrients from food. As a result, this operation reduces the calories your body can absorb. In addition, bariatric surgeries also affect hormones and bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract and reduce appetite. Weight loss surgery also improves how the body metabolizes fats and uses insulin.

Types of Advanced Weight Loss Surgeries
At present, metabolic and bariatric surgical operations have been refined with time. And these surgical operations are among the best-studied treatments in modern medicine. Today, minimally invasive surgical techniques such as laparoscopic and robotic weight loss procedures are performed. These advanced weight loss surgeries give patients a better experience with less pain, fewer post-op complications, shorter hospital stays, and fast recovery. In addition, these procedures are highly safe, with a complication rate lower than the standard weight loss procedures.
The Major Goals of Advanced Weight Loss Surgeries
- Sleeve Gastrectomy
- Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass
- Mini gastric bypass
- Single Anastomosis Duodeno-ileal Bypass (SADI)
Sleeve Gastrectomy
In a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy procedure, the surgeon removes approximately 80% of the stomach, leaving a banana-shaped section of the stomach that is closed with staples. This surgery reduces food intake that can fit in the banana-shaped stomach, making the patient feel full soon. In addition, this surgery affects the metabolism due to the removal of the stomach, which produces most of the hormones. As a result, it decreases appetite, increases fullness, and allows the patients to maintain a healthy weight and control blood sugar.
