Frequently Asked Questions

How long is recovery?

Most patients return to normal activities within 2–6 weeks depending on the procedure and occupation. Full lifestyle adaptation continues for months.

Will I need lifelong supplements?

Yes. Many procedures require long-term vitamin and mineral supplementation, especially after malabsorptive surgeries.

Does bariatric surgery fix diabetes?

Bariatric surgery can induce remission or significant improvement in type 2 diabetes for many patients, particularly with gastric bypass and BPD/DS.

Is weight regain possible?

Some weight regain can occur without adherence to diet, exercise, and follow-up. Revision surgery is an option for selected cases.

c Surgery?

It is a procedure designed to assist patients who have problems with obesity in losing the excessive pounds through the reduction of the capacity of the stomach or even the restriction of caloric intake in certain operations.

Bariatric surgery in Islamabad is a set of operations that assists patients with problems with obesity to lose extra pounds through the reduction of the size of the stomach and also sometimes changes the way the body absorbs calories. The surgery will make you feel full before eating smaller portions, as well as achieve weight loss when following a healthy diet and exercising.

Beyond weight loss, bariatric surgery can also improve many obesity-related medical conditions and reduce the risk of future health complications.

4 Best Types of Bariatric Surgery in Islamabad

Different weight loss surgeries work in different ways. Some reduce the stomach’s shape, while others also change how food travels through the digestive system. But we are offering the best and guaranteed solutions at Enfield Royal Clinic Islamabad.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy)

Gastric sleeve surgery is a procedure that removes a large portion of the stomach leaving behind a smaller, sleeve shaped stomach. It also makes the patient feel full earlier, control his intake and lose weight permanently without diverting the intestines.

Gastric Bypass Surgery (Roux-en-Y)

Gastric bypass involves a small pouch in the stomach, and an intestinal reconnection. This decreases the amount of food that can be eaten and the number of calories absorbed. It can also aid to alleviate obesity related issues like Type 2 diabetes and acid reflux.

Mini Gastric Bypass ( One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass )

In Mini gastric bypass, the surgeon will create one opening in the intestine to limit the amount of food entering and the number of calories absorbed. It can be an effective weight loss tool, but it is important to check the patient’s nutrition.

Gastric Band Surgery (Adjustable Gastric Band )

Adjustable Gastric Band Surgery (AGBS) is a procedure that involves putting a silicone band around the top of the stomach to keep the patient from eating as much. It is now not performed very often and should only be performed if Enfield Royal Clinic still provides it.

No one single bariatric procedure is right for all patients. The right procedure should be selected following points from an experienced bariatric surgeon. Your physician might want to consider:
