Non Surgical Treatments for Obesity

If you are overweight or obese, you may have a number of different reasons for wanting to shed excessive weight, there are non surgical weight loss options such as getting back into sport or being able to play with your children again.

Laparoscopic Gastric Banding / Laparoscopic Obesity Solution

Laparoscopic Gastric Banding Procedure is the placement of a band around the top of the stomach through laparoscopic (keyhole) procedure. The Gastric Band is designed to induce weight loss by encouraging satiety (a sense of fullness) even without food and to restrict the amount of food that the stomach can hold before signalling it is full.

Sleeve Gastrectomy

Sleeve Gastrectomy is a relatively new surgery, involving removal of around two thirds of the stomach laparoscopically, leaving a small tube. In contrast to Laparoscopic Gastric Banding, it is irreversible.

Gastric Bypass Procedure

Gastric Bypass has been available for more than 35 years and is still a commonly-used procedure in the United States.

Gastric Bypass Procedure is traditionally done with a long incision in the abdomen, but can also be performed laparoscopically. It involves cutting the stomach off near the top so that a smaller pouch may be made, which is reconnected to the small intestine. The procedure is essentially irreversible.

Gastric Plication

Laparoscopic Plication, also known as Laparoscopic Greater Curvature Plication, is similar to Sleeve Gastrectomy, but without the need for removing part of the stomach.
