Often they say a picture is worth a thousand words. In that case you’re about to learn everything you need regarding bariatric surgery.

Dr Brad Amson, Victoria Band/Bariatric Surgery Clinics,  has recent completed a number of videos that show the following medical procedures. Bariatric surgery is an option for the morbidly obese who have fought the battle of weight gain and found no other solution. Bariatric surgery has a high success rate between 60% and 85 %. It’s not unusual for weight loss surgery patients to lose 40% of their body weight at the end of the 1st year after surgery.

  • Roux-en-Y Gastric By-pass surgery
  • Sleeve Gastric By-pass surgery
  • Mid-Band Gastric Bariatric Surgery (Similar to Lap Band)
  • Fill or Adjustment of Band – after surgery
