Metabolic Surgery:

Metabolic surgery is also called bariatric surgery. Multiple surgical methods are considered and conducted during this treatment pattern, including adjustable gastric banding, gastric bypass, biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS), and sleeve gastrectomy. However, the treatment pattern is arranged and followed depending on the customized circumstances.   

How Does it Work? 

The procedure psychologically generates the sensation of fullness, resulting in limited consumption of food. With this, the amount of nutrients and calorie intake is effectively reduced and easily counted.   

Cost: 

The Metabolic surgery cost ranges from 40,000 AED to 45,000 AED. It fluctuates for each individual based on the type of therapy needed, the patient’s present health, the surgical approach chosen, and the surgical expert performing the procedure. The surgeon decides the ultimate price after considering all the cost-affecting elements.

Impact of Surgery:  

The impact of this surgical treatment on different health issues is mentioned below.

Treatment Options:

The following methods are considered while undergoing this treatment. 

Gastric Bypass: 

Gastric bypass is a further type of bariatric surgery. During the process, a small pouch is made out of the stomach while directly connecting it with the small intestine. By doing so, the consumption of food is reduced while also absorbing the limited calories within the body. 

Sleeve Gastrectomy:   

Sleeve gastrectomy is a modern-day method of surgical treatment. The procedure is conducted with a laparoscopic device and a specific amount of stomach is removed. Leaving behind a sleeve-shaped stomach, the remaining portion only bears limited consumption of food. 

Adjustable Gastric Banding: 

During the adjustable gastric banding, a band is placed and adjusted within the upper portion of the stomach. By doing so, the intake of food is limiticized. 

Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS): 

Similar to sleeve gastrectomy, this method is utilized to remove an excessive amount of the stomach while connecting the remaining one directly with the intestine.

After the downtime, the outcome is significant weight loss, as well as improved overall health.
