sleeve liner. These procedures are done entirely by endoscopy.

There is no single correct choice in weight loss surgery. Each procedure has its own pros and cons, and one size does not fit all. Mr Sarela will discuss the benefits and risks of each operation in the light of your individual medical and personal circumstances, so that you can make the best choice.

Mr Sarela is a Core Member of the Bariatric Surgery Multi-Disciplinary Team in Leeds. He logs all operations in UK National Bariatric Surgery Registry and you can look up the success of Mr Sarela\'s patients at the NBSR website. 

2.         Acid Reflux

®

Magnetic Bead Ring. Each has pros and cons, and Mr Sarela will enable you to make the best choice.

3.         Gallstones

Stones in your gallbladder can cause pain, infection, jaundice and pancreatitis. Mr Sarela will remove your gallbladder and do an x-ray of bile ducts by keyhole surgery: called laparoscopic cholecystectomy and cholangiogram.

4.         Hernia

Mr Sarela has expertise in keyhole surgery for various types of hernias: inguinal, femoral, umbilical, incisional and hiatal. Mr Sarela repairs inguinal hernias by the totally extra-peritoneal method, which avoids entry into your peritoneal cavity. Mr Sarela has special interest in surgery for large and complex hiatus hernias.

5.         Achalasia

Mr Sarela uses keyhole surgery to divide the muscles of the lower oesophageal sphincter in order to relieve your difficulty to swallow. This operation is called Laparoscopic Cardiomyotomy.
