PROCEDURE COMPARISON
A guide to understand general differences between sleeve, bypass, balloon, SASI, BAGUA, revision and other options.
Comparison helps, but it does not replace evaluation
This page organizes options without becoming a self-selection chart. Comparison prepares better questions and helps understand general differences.
Orientation comparison
| Procedure | Main approach | When it is discussed |
|---|---|---|
| Gastric sleeve | Reduced stomach capacity | Patients who need a bariatric strategy with habit change |
| Intragastric balloon | Temporary non-surgical option | Selected patients looking for less invasive support |
| Roux-en-Y | Classic bypass | Cases where a specific bariatric/metabolic approach is considered |
| BAGUA / OAGB | One-anastomosis bypass | Selected cases after individual evaluation |
| SASI | Advanced metabolic technique | Patients requiring specialized analysis |
| Revision | Correction or conversion | People with previous surgery who need new evaluation |
