Bariatric Medicine Integrated

About

Bariatric Medicine Integrated partners with experienced surgeons to offer a multi-disciplinary approach to weight loss surgery. They provide patients with holistic care, supporting them every step of the way. The surgeons specialize in bariatric surgery and recommend the gastric band as the safest and most effective option for many patients.

The Bioring Gastric Band is their preferred choice due to its low complication rate and effectiveness. Unlike other options, it’s reversible and does not alter the stomach permanently. The band works by creating a smaller stomach pouch, helping patients feel full sooner, and encouraging weight loss.

The clinic works alongside a team of dietitians, nurses, physicians, and psychologists. These experts ensure that patients receive well-rounded support throughout their journey. Evidence shows that a strong support network and a multi-disciplinary approach lead to better outcomes.

Services

Bariatric Medicine Integrated offers the following services to support weight loss:

• Gastric Banding (Bioring Gastric Band): The procedure involves placing an adjustable band around the stomach, creating a smaller pouch. Patients feel full sooner, which helps them eat less. The Bioring Gastric Band is safer, reversible, and less invasive compared to gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy.

• Consultation: Before surgery, patients meet with the team to discuss all available options. They receive tailored advice based on their health and weight loss goals.

• Post-Surgery Support: After surgery, patients receive follow-up visits, diet plans, and lifestyle advice to support their long-term success.

• Multi-Disciplinary Care: The clinic offers care from dietitians, nurses, and psychologists, ensuring that patients receive ongoing help with the physical and emotional aspects of weight loss.

• Dietary and Psychological Support: Along with dietary counseling, patients benefit from psychological support to help them manage any emotional challenges and maintain weight loss.

• Patient Seminars: Patients can attend seminars where they will learn more about bariatric surgery, its benefits, and what to expect before making their decision.

Additional Information

The team is led by Dr. Grant Dewar, a skilled surgeon with extensive experience in laparoscopic gastric banding. He has chosen the Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band for its safety, effectiveness, and reversibility. This decision is supported by solid international research.

The Bioring Gastric Band continues to be the preferred procedure. It offers a low complication rate, adjustability, and minimal risk compared to other surgeries. Bariatric Medicine Integrated ensures that patients receive thorough guidance and support before, during, and after their surgery.
