At Asta Medical Group, we understand that obesity is more than just a number on a scale; it’s a complex medical condition that can significantly impact your overall health and quality of life. Our Obesity and Metabolic Surgery program is designed to provide comprehensive solutions for individuals struggling with obesity, helping them achieve sustainable weight loss and improve their metabolic health.
Understanding Obesity and Its Implications
Obesity is linked to a range of health issues, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and certain cancers. Traditional weight loss methods, such as diet and exercise, may not be sufficient for everyone. For those who need additional support, surgical options can provide a transformative solution.
Our Surgical Solutions
At Asta Medical Group, we offer a variety of obesity and metabolic surgery options, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Our experienced surgical team specializes in the following procedures:
- Gastric Bypass Surgery: This procedure involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine, leading to significant weight loss and improvements in metabolic conditions.
- Sleeve Gastrectomy: In this procedure, a large portion of the stomach is removed, reducing its size and limiting food intake while also affecting hunger hormones.
- Adjustable Gastric Banding: This minimally invasive option involves placing a band around the upper part of the stomach to create a small pouch, which helps control food intake.
- Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch: This complex surgery not only reduces stomach size but also alters the digestive process, leading to significant weight loss and metabolic improvements.
