Bariatric
If you’re considering bariatric surgery as a solution for weight loss and improved health, AKK Healthcare can assist you in navigating the process. We connect you with experienced bariatric surgeons and specialized surgical centers, ensuring a smooth and stress-free medical journey.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, involves removing a portion of the stomach to create a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach pouch. The surgery restricts the amount of food you can eat and reduces hunger by decreasing the production of appetite-stimulating hormones. This results in reduced calorie intake and weight loss.
During the procedure, your surgeon will make several small incisions in the abdomen and use specialized instruments to remove a large portion of the stomach. The remaining stomach is then stapled or sutured together to create the sleeve-shaped pouch.
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric bypass surgery, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting a portion of the small intestine. This procedure restricts the amount of food you can consume and reduces calorie absorption.
During the surgery, your surgeon will divide the stomach into a small upper pouch and a larger lower pouch. The small intestine is then rearranged to connect the new stomach pouch to a lower section of the intestine. This bypasses a portion of the small intestine, reducing calorie absorption and promoting weight loss.
Adjustable Gastric Banding
Adjustable gastric banding, also known as laparoscopic gastric banding, involves placing an inflatable band around the upper portion of the stomach. The band creates a smaller stomach pouch, limiting the amount of food you can eat and promoting a feeling of fullness.
During the procedure, your surgeon will place the gastric band around the upper stomach and inflate it with saline solution to create a smaller stomach pouch. The band can be adjusted by adding or removing saline solution, allowing for personalized adjustments to optimize weight loss.
Facilitating the Procedure
AKK Healthcare will facilitate the process by arranging comprehensive evaluations to determine your eligibility for bariatric surgery, helping you choose the most suitable procedure, and providing support throughout the pre- and post-surgical phases.
