The surgeon will create a small pouch in the stomach and then connect it to your intestine in this surgery. And this pouch will allow the passage of food by bypassing most of the stomach, which will reduce the calorie intake. This procedure is very helpful for obese people who also suffer from hiatus hernia or severe GERD.
INTRA-GASTRIC BALLOON:
Intragastric balloon surgery helps in reducing weight. In this surgery, the surgeon will implant a saline-filled balloon into the stomach, which will give you a feeling of overfilling. And thus, it tends to reduce the food intake, resulting in weight loss in patients.
LIPOSUCTION SURGERY :
Liposuction surgery is a little different from other surgeries as this surgery does not include overall fat loss from the body. Instead, it focuses on specific body areas like lower abdomen, breasts, hips, chin, neck, thighs and more. The surgeon will make very small hole in a particular body part of the body in this surgery. And then remove the fat from that area.
