Journey to a Healthier You

A minimally invasive procedure that involves the removal of a portion of the stomach that produces ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates appetite and promotes fat storage.

Following a gastric sleeve surgery, patients cannot eat as much as they could before and they feel full sooner.  

Results in a smaller stomach and re-routed portion of the small intestines. This might be an ideal surgery option for patients with associated metabolic illnesses, such a type 2 diabetes.

Following a gastric bypass surgery, patients feel fuller sooner and do not absorb as many calories from the food they eat. 

Mini gastric bypass is a relatively new procedure which combines the techniques used in gastric bypass and gastric sleeve.

It aims to make the stomach much smaller by using a clever loop so when the patient eats food, it misses out a short segment of the upper gut.   

A non-surgical and non-invasive procedure, gastric balloon is one of the most common of all bariatric procedures worldwide. 

The patient undergoes general anaesthesia and the procedure involves Dr Evren endoscopically placing a balloon into the stomach to assist with portion control. The balloon is removed after six months or one year, depending on the type of balloon used.

MMR is an option that patients can decide to have with the sleeve, bypass or mini bypass surgeries. It is possible to have the MMR placed after your surgery (i.e. a few years later) but more common to get it at the time of your initial operation.

MMR is a safe edition to laparoscopic weight loss surgeries. At Dr Evren & Partners, we offer it as an additional service because there have been many studies showing that patients lose more weight with a ring device placed around the gastric pouch at the time of the gastric  surgery and it can reduce the risk of weight regain.

Dr Evren may advise this course of action in order to correct or improve upon a previous weight loss surgery that has not produced results or resulted in complications such as, reflux, malnutrition or weight re-gain. 

Prior to revising a primary bariatric procedure, Dr Evren and a multidisciplinary team would extensively evaluate the factors of the lack of weight loss or weight regain and advise accordingly.

Additionally, we also specialise in a number of disciplines and provide the following surgeries:  

- SADI-S Duodenal Switch: (single anastomosis duodeno–ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy) 

- Metabolic Surgery (also known as Surgery for Type 2 Diabetes) 

- Surgery for Reflux or Hiatal Hernia
