Nutritional Counseling

Nutritional Counseling is an essential component of comprehensive bariatric care. Our dedicated dietitians support patients through every phase of their journey—before and after surgery—to build sustainable eating habits, prevent nutritional deficiencies, and ensure long-term health success.

Nutritional Counseling and Bariatric Care

Transformative Bariatric & Metabolic Care

Mini Gastric Bypass (One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass - OAGB) combines restriction, gut hormone adjustments, and reduced nutrient absorption through a long, narrow pouch connected directly to the small intestine. Coupled with personalized nutritional counseling, it delivers powerful, sustainable outcomes for weight loss and metabolic health.

How The Procedure Works

01
Pouch Creation

A long, narrow stomach pouch is formed, significantly restricting food intake capacity.

02
Single Anastomosis

The pouch is reconnected to the small intestine through a single surgical loop junction, reducing absorption.

03
Hormonal & Metabolic Shift

Changes in key gut hormones curb appetite and trigger rapid improvements in metabolic function.

Key Procedure Benefits

Targeted outcomes designed for sustainable health improvements

Significant Weight Loss

Delivers high, long-term weight-loss potential through dual restriction and malabsorption.

Diabetes Improvement

May significantly improve or remit Type 2 diabetes and metabolic health parameters.

Metabolic Relief

Provides strong health benefits against obesity-related conditions and comorbidities.

Single Anastomosis

Requires only one intestinal connection, simplifying the surgical procedure.
