Surgery Options and Information:
Bariatric, or weight loss, surgery can be an effective tool for weight loss when it is combined with long term healthy lifestyle changes.
The clinic team works with you to assess your goals for weight loss and determine the changes you need to make to achieve your goals. Please note that it takes several appointments and considerable time to determine eligibility for bariatric surgery.
There are three types of bariatric surgery available through the Calgary Adult Bariatric Surgery Clinic: gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric bypass. These surgeries are usually done laparoscopically, which means that the surgeon makes several small incisions on the stomach instead of one larger incision.
Please read the information and view the videos below to learn about each type of surgery. Complete this worksheet and bring it to your appointment with the Registered Nurse, or return the completed worksheet by email or fax.
