At Almana Hospital, our Bariatric Surgery department is dedicated to helping you achieve sustainable weight loss and improve your overall health. Our team of bariatric surgeons utilizes advanced laparoscopic techniques (minimally invasive surgery) to offer a variety of effective weight loss procedures.

If you struggle with obesity and haven't been able to achieve lasting weight loss through diet and exercise alone, bariatric surgery may be a viable option for you. We understand the significant health risks associated with obesity, including diabetes, heart disease, and sleep apnea. Bariatric surgery can be a life-changing tool to help you lose weight, improve your health, and gain a renewed sense of well-being.

Types of Bariatric Surgery Offered:

Our surgeons offer a variety of bariatric procedures to suit your individual needs and anatomy. These procedures may include:

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: This procedure restricts the amount of food your stomach can hold by surgically removing a portion of it, creating a sleeve-shaped pouch.
Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass: This procedure creates a smaller stomach pouch and diverts the small intestine, limiting food absorption.
Laparoscopic Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD-DS): This is a more complex procedure involving significant changes to the digestive system for maximum weight loss and is typically reserved for patients with severe obesity or those who haven't had success with other procedures.

Benefits of Bariatric Surgery:

Bariatric surgery can offer numerous benefits for patients struggling with obesity, including:

Significant and sustained weight loss
Improved health outcomes, including reduced risk of diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, and certain cancers
Increased energy levels and improved mobility
Enhanced body image and self-confidence
