Sleeve Gastrectomy
Because there are no changes made to the actual path food takes through your digestive system during sleeve gastrectomy surgery, there is a reduced risk of nutritional deficiencies and gastric dumping when compared to other weight loss surgery options.
Gastric Bypass
This new, smaller stomach pouch holds much less food than your natural stomach – as a result, you’ll feel full and satisfied on smaller portion sizes, leading to a significant reduction in the amount of calories you can take in.
Because a large section of your intestine is bypassed, you will also absorb fewer calories – this is why gastric bypass is known as a ‘restrictive-malabsorptive’ weight loss procedure.
Duodenal Switch
This weight loss procedure is designed to restrict caloric intake by shrinking the capacity of the stomach, and alter the hormonal and metabolic functions in your digestive system.
Generally speaking, only patients who have a body mass index (BMI) of 50 or greater are considered to be good candidates for the duodenal switch, as this procedure involves the most dramatic surgical changes of all current weight loss surgery options.
