Gastric Bypass Dubai & Al Ain – Weight Loss

Gastric Bypass offers a path to effective weight loss and renewed confidence. Discover top bariatric surgeons in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain to reshape your body and health.

Gastric bypass surgery is a type of bariatric surgery aimed at weight loss. Also called VSG gastric sleeve or sleeve gastrectomy, this procedure works by making the stomach smaller, which helps control how much food you can eat.

By reducing food intake, it assists in losing extra weight and managing healthier eating habits. During this surgery, the surgeon permanently removes a significant portion of the stomach, reducing its ability to hold food.

By eliminating the section responsible for producing the hunger-inducing hormone ghrelin, this process also lessens your appetite. After the surgery, you’ll notice feeling full sooner after eating less and having reduced hunger between meals.

Gastric Bypass Benefits:

This procedure offers benefits such as a shorter hospital stay, no redirection of the food stream, and positive changes in gut hormones that curb hunger, decrease appetite, and enhance satisfaction. Our surgeons in Dubai provide gastric sleeve surgery and can guide you on its suitability for your needs.

Your Journey with CosmeSurge

Consultation

Consultation For Gastric Bypass Surgery

A patient needs counseling before weight loss and laparoscopic surgery. At Cosmesurge, our bariatric surgeons walk the patient through the possible options. It begins with a review of medical history and BMI assessment. The doctors take a few photographs to keep for before and after image collection. Furthermore, a few lab tests are conducted to see the overall health of the patient. If the patient is not fit in terms of ideal weight. S/he will be given a diet chart and plan to shed weight. Bariatric surgery in Dubai materializes by walking the patient through post-operative care as well as preoperative instructions. Once the patient is evaluated as fit for the weight loss surgery physically and psychologically the operation is scheduled.

Treatment

Procedure Gastric Bypass Surgery

Two treatments are offered for gastric bypass surgery in the UAE. Roux-en-Y bypass and the mini bypass. The latter is newer and due to its quick nature and fewer complications, many doctors opt for weight loss surgery in UAE.
  • Roux-Y PROCEDURE: In the Roux-Y procedure, the patient is under general anesthesia before the surgery begins. This gastric bypass can be a laparoscopic surgery or the traditional open surgery with large incisions in the stomach. In the former, multiple small incisions are made laparoscopically, and doctors staple the top portion of the stomach creating a small pouch. This pouch restricts food intake and absorption of food. This pouch is connected to the small intestine to pass on food. In short, the food bypasses the bigger part of the stomach and goes directly to the intestine.
  • Mini gastric bypass: The mini-gastric bypass is performed by keyhole surgery under general anesthesia. Surgeons make small incisions and modify the shape of the stomach in a long narrow tube. This modified tube-like part of the stomach becomes the total area for food. The small intestine is connected to this tube and it serves the same purpose for the patient to eat small meals and works on malabsorption.

Post treatment

Post Treatment Gastric Bypass Surgery

The patient has to stay at the hospital between 2- 5 days after the gastric bypass surgery. The following protocols are generally maintained to gauge the wellness of the patient:
  • Vital signs and symptoms such as pain and nausea are monitored and managed.
  • On the second day after the surgery liquid diet is started while monitoring the patient.
  • The patient is made to use breathing tools for lung functions.
  • Blood thinners and compression boots are used for the patient to prevent blood clots.
  • The urinary catheter is removed the day after your surgery.
  • The patient is assisted to start walking around.
As the patient is discharged, more precautions wane with time.
  • The transition from liquid to semi-solid and full solid foods in two months.
  • Take the daily nutritional supplements
  • Post-surgery the patient has to drink 1.5 to 2 liters of water.
  • Walk as advised by the doctor.
  • No activity for three to six weeks after surgery.
  • Avoid heavy lifting for two months post-surgery.
  • Avoid alcohol and smoking.
  • Do not drive till the pain subsides.
