1- The first type includes the surgeries that restrict the size of the stomach by stapling part of it in the form of a thin longitudinal tube and removing the largest part, and this is what is done in the Gastric Sleeve and Bikini Sleeve surgeries.

Weight loss results from lower food intake due to the small size of the stomach after stapling, as well as the result of getting rid of the stomach cells that secrete the hunger hormone. Consequently, the patient does not experience hunger and needs less food.

2- The second type includes the surgeries that include changing the steps and rates of food absorption as well as reducing food intake. This is what is done in Gastric bypass and Sasi surgeries. Both surgeries rely on bypassing the part of the intestine responsible for absorbing calories. Thus, the body begins to burn stored fat to provide the necessary energy for the body. So, the excess weight gradually decreases.

Don't let anything stop you from changing your weight. You deserve the best with Dr. Ahmed Hatem, consultant of bariatric and laparoscopic surgeries, who takes into account the provision of all safety procedures inside the operating room.
