Our Featured Procedures

1) BariClip Procedure

The BariClip is one of the most advanced non-surgical bariatric solutions, relying on placing a special clip around the upper part of the stomach to reduce its size without cutting or removing any part. It is performed under general anesthesia without altering the stomach’s anatomy or rerouting the intestines, making it reversible if needed. The procedure is safe, quick, and helps reduce appetite and achieve stable weight loss without risks of leakage or malabsorption. BariClip is an ideal option for patients seeking an effective solution with the possibility of reversal.

2) Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)

ESG is an advanced endoscopic technique performed without any surgical incisions, using a specialized endoscope to create internal sutures that reduce the stomach’s capacity into a tube-like shape similar to surgical sleeve gastrectomy. No part of the stomach is cut or removed, ensuring higher safety and faster recovery time. ESG helps control appetite, improve eating patterns, and achieve excellent weight loss while preserving full digestive function. It is a perfect option for those seeking an effective non-surgical solution.

3) Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

Sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most popular and successful bariatric operations. It involves removing the part of the stomach responsible for producing the hunger hormone (ghrelin) and significantly reducing the stomach size. The procedure is performed laparoscopically through small incisions, reducing pain and speeding recovery. It results in significant and stable weight loss and helps treat conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Sleeve gastrectomy is a strong option for patients with moderate to severe obesity.

4) Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB)

Mini gastric bypass offers the highest weight-loss rates and excellent improvement in diabetes control. It works by reducing stomach size and bypassing part of the intestine to reduce absorption and regulate hormones responsible for hunger and satiety. It has a strong effect on insulin resistance and helps maintain long-term results. It is suitable for patients with high obesity levels or those with severe reflux not suitable for sleeve gastrectomy.

5) Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

This is one of the most powerful surgeries for treating obesity and associated conditions, especially gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It reduces stomach size and bypasses part of the intestine to enhance metabolism and reduce absorption. It provides rapid improvement in blood sugar levels and stable, significant weight loss. This operation offers the highest effectiveness for patients with advanced obesity.

6) Gastric Balloon (Orbera / Spatz)

The gastric balloon is a non-surgical procedure inserted through the mouth and placed in the stomach to occupy additional space, reducing appetite and promoting satiety. It supports gradual weight loss and is an excellent choice for those beginning their weight-loss journey or who are not eligible for surgery. Some types are adjustable and can remain in the stomach for up to 12 months.

Minimizer Ring

The Minimizer Ring is a precise device placed around the upper part of the stomach during bariatric surgeries such as sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass to prevent stomach stretching in the future and maintain long-term results. The ring is made of flexible, safe medical material that does not cause irritation and is placed laparoscopically without affecting digestion or natural food movement.

The Minimizer Ring helps with:

Preventing stomach expansion after surgery

Maintaining long-term weight-loss results

Reducing food intake without excessive hunger

Enhancing the effectiveness of bariatric surgeries for patients who experience weight regain after sleeve or bypass

The ring is an ideal option for patients experiencing stomach stretching after a previous surgery, or for those who want strong, stable protection against weight regain in the future.
