Surgical treatments (weight loss surgery / bariatric surgery)
Surgical treatment for obesity (bariatric surgery) may be offered to people who are morbidly obese (BMI> 40) or severely obese (BMI> 35), with medical complications. These patients will already have tried one or more forms of treatment, which will have been correctly carried out but not produced results. Before bariatric surgery is discussed, patients must meet a certain number of medical criteria and be free of any contraindications. They must be motivated and aware of the benefits and, more importantly, they must understand the disadvantages and constraints of any surgical procedure. They must also be ready to change their eating habits after the operation if the procedure is to be successful in the long-term.

Gastric bypass
The gastric bypass technique has been in use for more than forty years. It consists of reducing the size of the stomach to decrease food intake and by-passing part of the stomach and intestine so that less of the food is assimilated.
-
Gastric sleeve
The sleeve is a technique that has been used for the past ten or twelve years. It consists of reducing the size of the stomach by two-thirds. Its effect is to produce a feeling of fullness more quickly during meals and it also has a hormonal effect which decreases feelings of hunger.
-
Gastric banding
The procedure involves placing a rigid ring around the upper part of the stomach, preventing it from stretching when food reaches it. The feeling of fullness occurs more quickly. The ring is connected to a small reservoir under the skin. The band can be tightened or slackened by injecting serum into the reservoir.
-
Le switch duodénal
La technique du switch duodénal (également appelée dérivation biliopancréatique) est pratiquée depuis une vingtaine d’années. Elle consiste à réduire la taille de l’estomac comme une sleeve gastrectomie et à court-circuiter plusieurs mètres d’intestin pour que les aliments soient moins assimilés.
-
La bipartition du transit
La bipartition du transit est une variante technique du switch duodénal. C'est une intervention récente (5 ans) proposée comme réintervention dans certains cas après anneau gastrique ou sleeve gastrectomie.
-
Le bypass en Omega
La technique du bypass gastrique en Omega (également appelée "mini-bypass") est une variante technique du bypass, pratiquée depuis une dizaine d’années. Technique simplifiée du bypass , elle consiste comme le bypass classique à réduire la taille de l’estomac pour diminuer la quantité d’aliments ingérés et à court-circuiter une partie de l’estomac et de l’intestin pour que les aliments soient moins assimilés.
-
Le SADI
Le SADI est une variante technique du switch duodénal. C'est une intervention récente (5 à 10 ans) proposée comme réintervention dans certains cas après anneau gastrique ou sleeve gastrectomie.

Professional background / approach
-
The first consultation
Undergoing an operation to remedy severe or morbid obesity is a major decision. It requires preparation and adequate time to think it through once you have obtained the relevant information. The aim of the first consultation is to provide you with all the information you need in order to consider the operation. It also gives you an opportunity to ask all the questions that will be useful to you when making your decision.
-
The comprehensive patient assessment
To offer you the best possible treatment for your case, we will conduct a full assessment of your obesity. For you, this will be an opportunity to meet all the specialists. Doctors from all the specialist areas will then attend a meeting to compare and contrast their various opinions and suggest the most effective treatment for you.
-
The second consultation
-
Hospitalisation
You will be admitted to the Clinique du Millénaire the day before your operation and you will stay for four to seven days afterwards. Your operation will last for between 1 and 3 hours and will be carried out under general anaesthetic. After surgery, you will be transferred to intensive care before returning to conventional hospital accommodation. You’ll be off work for at least two weeks after your discharge from hospital.
-
Post-surgery
Surgery has proven effectiveness in the treatment of morbid obesity but it is not, by any means, a “miracle cure”. After the operation, there are certain rules to comply with and you must follow the nutritional advice you’re given to ensure that the improvements obtained from bariatric surgery are long lasting. The success of your operation depends on you.
