Surgical Obesity Treatments Available

Soraca Med offers a range of procedures. Each is performed laparoscopically for minimal recovery time. Hospital stays are typically 1 to 4 days depending on the surgery.

• Gastric Balloon: A non-surgical, endoscopic procedure. A silicone balloon is placed in the stomach to promote fullness. It is reversible and requires about a one-day hospital stay.
• Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y): This surgery creates a small stomach pouch. It reroutes a section of the small intestine. It often leads to significant weight loss and can help treat type 2 diabetes.
• Gastric Sleeve Surgery: Also known as sleeve gastrectomy. It removes approximately 75% of the stomach. This reduces capacity and alters hunger hormones for long-term weight management.
