    SURGERY FOR DIABETES


    Diabetes and excess weight are closely associated with each other; 40% of people with obesity have type II diabetes and 80% of type II diabetics are overweight. This relationship between obesity and diabetes is now often referred to as ‘Diabesity’.

     

    Long term diabetes which is not well controlled leads to many serious health problems including:

     

     

    Heart attacks

     

    Strokes

     

    Amputations

     

    Ulcers

     

    Eye, kidney and nerve problems

    LAPAROSCOPIC GASTRIC BYPASS


    The most complex and effective of our bariatric procedures, the gastric bypass cuts away (but does not remove) about 80% of the existing stomach leaving behind a small stomach pouch and bypasses a portion of the small intestine. This combination allows patients to lose up to 30-35% of their body weight. Gastric bypass is particularly beneficial for those suffering from type-2 diabetes and GORD (acid reflux / heartburn).

     

    Expected results:

    This procedure converts the stomach into a designed long, slim tube. By ensuring the size and the angles of this tube are calibrated accurately our patients get very quick fullness and satisfaction from eating. The result is you want to eat less and lose weight very soon after surgery.

     

    Who it works especially well for:

    Patients with BMI over 35, as well as those with type 2 diabetes and/or high blood pressure.

    SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY/GASTRIC SLEEVE


    This procedure makes the stomach into a designed long, slim tube. By ensuring the size and the angles of this tube are calibrated accurately our clients get very quick fullness and satisfaction from eating. The result is you want to eat less and lose weight very soon after surgery.

     

    Expected results:

    You can expect to lose 25 – 30% of your total body weight during treatment and we usually see immediate Improvement of type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.

     

    Who it works especially well for:

    This works very well for patients with BMI over 35.

    ORBERA GASTRIC BALLOON


    A synthetic, sterile fluid filled balloon is placed in the stomach, partially filling the space inside. This has the effect of making you feel less hungry and feel fuller quicker and for longer when you do eat. The Orbera gastric balloon must be removed after 6 months, after which time dietary support will help you maintain a more controlled diet and therefore maintain the weight loss.

     

    Expected results:

    Weight loss of 9 -20Kg can be achieved during the time the balloon is in place.

     

    Who it works especially well for:

    Patients needing assistance to achieve initial weight loss, and who can commit to the required lifestyle changes long term.

    REVISIONAL BARIATRIC SURGERY


    Sometimes bariatric surgical procedures require a repeat operation. Bands may need to be removed and replaced by a sleeve gastrectomy or a bypass, or a sleeve gastrectomy may require converting to a bypass. Mr Hashemi has been performing complex revision surgery of this sort since 2001 and relies on his exceptionally broad experience of operating on this area for the full range of diseases including cancer to give excellent results

  • WHAT OUR CLIENTS' SAY

  • After years of expensive and ineffective dieting, exercise, personal trainers, detox, weight management courses, hypnotism and healthy eating plans, I decided I needed to find the best possible long-term treatment which would not only help me to lose weight but reduce the risk of potential illnesses caused by obesity, particularly as I reached 54.
     
    Following months of extensive research and consideration, recommendations and reviews, it was clear that Dr Hashemi was the leading expert in the field of bariatrics, notably non-invasive, gastric balloons. After consultation, my procedure was discussed and agreed, and I liked the fact it was a simple, effective and long-term solution to become slimmer and healthier.
      
    It has transformed my life; I have lost 12 kg (26 lbs) in 10 weeks, I run every morning, go the gym, eat healthily and feel incredible! Also, my confidence is back, I am more sociable, I fit into my old clothes from my twenties, and wonder why I didn’t have this done years ago!
     
    It is the best investment I have ever made! I’ve just had a full health MOT and passed with flying colours (from my cholesterol to my blood pressure)!!
     
    I can’t rate Dr Hashemi high enough. Book now! It will change your life!
