Types of Bariatric Surgery
Types of Bariatric Surgery
There are many ways to lose weight, but there is a procedure suitable for each person based on their health condition and many other factors. Weight loss usually takes a long time and often poses an obstacle for people who want to lose weight after many other failed attempts. Therefore, different types of surgery have emerged to help with weight loss and avoid any complications, most notably:
Revision Bariatric Surgery
Revision Bariatric Surgery is among the most elite and challenging fields of laparoscopic surgery
Mini Gastric Bypass
The mini gastric bypass is an advanced and simplified version of the traditional gastric bypass. It has gained widespread popularity in recent years because it combines high efficiency in weight loss with shorter surgical time.

Obesity Diseases
Diagnosis of Obesity Diseases
Before any obesity surgery is performed, Dr. Abdulrahman evaluates the patient's health status and performs all necessary examinations and preparations that precede the operation, to ensure they get satisfactory results that achieve patient satisfaction and rid them of the problems they face. These are the most important benefits of obesity surgery:
Significant and Sustainable Weight Loss
Bariatric surgeries have proven their effectiveness in the long term for class III obesity, as they have contributed to achieving permanent weight loss.
Reducing Hunger Hormones and Improving Metabolism
Reprograms the body's metabolism after obesity, which prevents weight regain.
Improving Cholesterol and Blood Sugar Levels
Bariatric surgery alleviates symptoms of type 2 diabetes and improves the cumulative rate. But most importantly, continuous follow-up to maintain the operation result.
Improving Physical Activity
Losing excess weight helps you become lighter in movement, which leads to improved ability to perform physical activities more easily.
Improving Sleep Quality
The majority of obese people have sleep apnea problems, so bariatric surgeries can effectively alleviate symptoms of sleep apnea and get better sleep.
Reduces Your Desire to Eat
Bariatric surgeries reduce the amount of food you can eat, thus consuming fewer calories and losing weight faster.
