Improvements in weight related problems
Improvements in weight associated issues such as asthma and breathlessness, pains in joints, arthritis and fatigue.
This operation is carried out to reduce the size of your stomach. It is done under a general anaesthetic and usually takes between two to three hours depending on your individual circumstances.
Your surgeon will use surgical staples to create a pouch from the upper part of your stomach. A section of your small intestine is then bypassed, making it shorter. It is reconnected to the pouch so that food bypasses part of your digestive system and is absorbed less easily by the body.
Laparoscopic Procedure
The operation is carried out through small cuts made in your abdomen (tummy). One of these cuts will be in the region of your tummy button. Four other cuts are positioned on your abdomen. These cuts are called portsites. Carbon dioxide gas is put into your abdomen to allow the surgeons to see whilst they are operating. Hollow tubes are placed into the cuts and through these your surgeon passes instruments to perform the operation. For accurate precision the operation is viewed on a large television screen.
The wounds left post operation may be closed with a special stitch which dissolves when it is no longer needed.
Open Procedure
Your surgeon may perform the operation through an upper midline incision (cut) on your tummy. The diagram below shows where this will be. If you have an open operation procedure your gallbladder will also be removed at the same time.

Your Consultation
Planning starts with your consultation. Consultations should only be given by one person, a highly experienced surgeon who is the only one capable of determining whether you are a suitable candidate for the surgery that you are asking for. Counsellors, or nursing, irrespective of their experience are not licensed to operate and although they may assist with simple explanations, you should not allow yourself to be placed in a situation where they advise surgery. Most counsellor’s work on a commission basis and it is therefore unlikely that your best interests will figure prominently in their thinking.
At the consultation you will not find counsellors. All consultations are carried out by highly trained Bariatric and Cosmetic Registered Surgeons.
The patient prepared to accept advice from an unqualified source should not be too surprised if the standard of surgery reflects this fact. Competent professionals will not be found associating with this type of organisation. It may be wise to bear this in mind.
No substitute exists for a Pre-Operative Consultation. It may be inconvenient; you may feel it unnecessary believing that you know what you want. The truth is different. Consultation is an integral part of any treatment you may have carried out. It cannot be bypassed.
We do not charge for Consultations. A very high degree of knowledge and skill is required for a well-balanced opinion about the necessity for the operation in which you may be interested. You must appreciate that even when the advice is not in favour of surgery, it comes from a highly qualified person who has given his time, attention and experience to your problem, consulting, both pre and post-operatively accounts for over 50 per cent of surgeons times and good ones do not give this time away. Neither will they tell you that you need surgery when you don’t. Surgeons build reputation not only by the work they carry out, but the work they decline.
What To Do After Your Consultation?
