EDUCATING SYDNEY ON THE INS AND OUTS OF ADVANCED BARIATRIC PROCEDURES
ABOUT US
We are a Sydney based bariatric informational team here to educate on the ins and outs of bariatric surgery. Bariatric procedures refer to those of the stomach region, and are generally in relation to weight loss for those suffering from serious medical conditions including morbid obesity.
Heading 2
Bariatric Procedures are serious surgeries that reconstruct and rearrange the digestive system. In an effort to reduce portion intake, bariatric surgery will create a smaller pouch of stomach, and the patient will feel fuller fairly quickly. Bariatric procedures are not quick-fix weight loss treatments; successful bariatric surgery requires and entire permanent lifestyle change.
The three main bariatric procedures performed in Sydney are gastric sleeve surgery, gastric bypass surgery, and lap band surgery. To qualify for these types of bariatric procedures, the patient needs to have a BMI of at least 40, or your BMI is 35 or more and you have a serious weight-related health problem, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or severe sleep apnea.
