Welcome to Ontario Bariatric Clinic
Ontario's Specialists in Laparoscopic Bariatric Sleeve Surgery
What Makes Ontario Bariatric Clinic Different?
We are a clinic and hospital based program, designed to help you reach your health and weight goals. We stand out because we believe in having the candidate seen by our surgeon from the beginning. The patient will have ample time to discuss and understand all surgical options, and whether they are qualified for the OHIP or private programs.
Ensuring Quality Patient Care Through Experience
Our top-tier surgical skills aren’t the only things that matter. Our unrivalled 5-year post surgery follow-ups assure that you stay on track to achieve your long-term weight loss goals.
Why Choose Ontario Bariatric Clinic?
On average 2 to 4 weeks LOS in hospital typically less than the Gastric Bypass
Gastric Sleeve has a lower risk of dumping syndrome, and significantly less potential bowel obstruction in the future
Much more effective than the Gastric Band on the resolution of other health issues such as Diabetes, HTN or Sleep Apnea!
The surgeon removes a portion of the stomach, producing a tube-shaped stomach (sleeve). You are less likely to have malabsorption with the Gastric Sleeve due to no bypassing of the stomach or intestines.
Patients should expect with Gastric Sleeve to lose weight at a slower, steadier rate comparable to the Gastric Bypass and more than Gastric Band. In the first 12 to 18 months, you might lose 60 to 70 percent of excess weight on average.
