The most popular procedures performed by a weight loss surgeon in Thailand are as follows:
● Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery- Also called Gastric bypass, this is a weight-loss surgery where a small pouch is created from the stomach and then connects it directly to the small intestine.
● Laparoscopic Gastric Banding Surgery- This surgery involves creating a band on your upper stomach area to create a small pouch for holding food. This helps by limiting the amount of food intake by making you feel full after small amounts of food.
● Biliopancreatic Diversion Surgery- Through this surgery, the normal process of digestion is changed by making the stomach feel smaller by bypassing part of the small intestine. This ensures fewer calorie intake.
● Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery- A surgical procedure in which the stomach is reduced to about 15% of its original size by surgically removing a large portion of the stomach along the greater curvature resulting in a sleeve or tube-like structure.
● Vertical Banded Gastroplasty Surgery- This involves reshaping of the stomach which causes weight loss by decreasing the amount of food you can eat.
