Endoscopic & Gastric Balloon
It is a non-surgical procedure for weight reduction. At Ruby Hall, we proceed with this surgery using a soft-silicone balloon filled with saline is placed inside of the stomach. This balloon limits the food intake of the patient causing a reduction in overeating. Since the appetite of a patient is greatly reduced a significant weight loss takes place.
Limitations:
- The balloon has to be removed after six months, otherwise, there is a risk of weight bouncing back
Lap Sleeve Gastrectomy
here are some instances when an obese person is unable to reduce weight by conventional means such as dieting, exercise and weight training due to the nature of the body. In these kinds of situations, there are surgical ways to reduce weight. One surgical method to remove excess fat from the body is Sleeve Gastrectomy. In this process, the surgeon removes the large portion of the stomach along the great curvature creating a sleeve or tube-like structure.
At Ruby Hall Clinic, we prefer ‘Laparoscopy’ to conduct Sleeve Gastrectomy. In this surgical procedure, small incisions are made in the abdomen of the patient and long instruments are placed through these incisions. The overall surgery takes fifty minutes where two-thirds of the stomach is removed.
The after-effects of the surgery greatly affect the appetite of a patient. Due to the reduction of stomach size, patients eat less that helps them in weight reduction.
Advantages of Lap Sleeve Gastrectomy:
- 50-60% weight reduction after first two years of surgery
- Issues like Diabetes, Hyper-tension, High Blood Pressure, Asthma etc are resolved
- Reduction risk of death by 89%
Lap Endoscopy
Also known as Roux-en-y Gastric Bypass (RYGB). This surgery divides the stomach into a small upper pouch and a large lower ‘remnant’ pouch. Apart from that, the intestine is readjusted to connect both the sections.
This method is usually performed laparoscopically by inserting a laparoscope through abdominal incisions. At the end of the laparoscope, a small video camera is attached so as to provide the surgeon with a magnified view of internal organs on a monitor.
In this process, the surgeon utilises 5% of the stomach area to create a small pouch. The remaining area of stomach continues to produce digestive juices along with pancreas, gallbladder and duodenum. The small Gastric Pouch reduces patient appetite and enables them to eat less.
Advantages:
- The altered physiological and physical response to food, which allows a patient to eat less

Focusing on weight reduction and healthy lifestyle changes, bariatric surgeons at Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowrie provide comprehensive pre-operative, peri-operative, and post-operative surgical care. Some of the speciality services offered include:
Comprehensive Assessment:
Our experts analyse the cause of your obesity and depending on your age and other lifestyle factors determine if and which kind of weight loss surgery would best suit you.
Bariatric Surgery:
Based on your condition, our experts recommend and perform the following types of bariatric surgery both by open and laparoscopic procedures:
- Gastric bypass (known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) creates a small stomach pouch out of a portion of the stomach and attaches it directly to the small intestine
- Sleeve or vertical sleeve gastrectomy creates a small stomach pouch without affecting the small intestine
- Gastric banding ties up a portion of the stomach
