Dr Jean Cady specializes in obesity surgery. Since 1995, he has been developing this specialty within the health care facilities where he performs surgery.
He is a member of many scientific communities such as the SOFFCO and the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity (IFSO).
He has introduced the Omega-Loop bypass (or mini bypass) in France.
He has written numerous books and scientific articles.
Dr Antoine Soprani has been specializing in obesity surgery since 2009.
He has contributed to the development of obesity surgery within the Pitié-Salpêtrière University Hospital Centre.
To ensure continuity of care for current and future patients, he has been working with Dr Cady since 2013.
Our expertise in bariatric surgery: for several years now, we have been holding the first place in the Figaro Magazine rankings.
Our flexibility : we perform all types of procedures (gastric banding, Roux-en-Y bypass, Omega Loop bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, conversion of gastric bands to bypasses, conversion of sleeves to bypasses, bypass extension).
Our information meetings take place once a fortnight, on Fridays at 4PM. On these occasions, people who have already undergone surgery come and discuss with future patients, providing encouragement and advice.
Our research protocols with the ICAN (Institute for Cardiometabolism and Nutrition) aim to develop a better understanding of the epigenetic mechanisms involved in the "metabolic syndrome", which includes obesity and diabetes and represents a public health issue.
Our Multidisciplinary Center for Obesity Surgery (CMCO) meets the criteria set by the French National Authority for Health for the care of patients suffering from morbid obesity.
We have carefully selected clinics with varied surgical teams. They benefit from modern, adequate technical facilities and will provide efficient and appropriate care.
More information about these facilities can be found on their respective websites:
Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire Clinic (Paris V) - Mont Louis Clinic (Paris XI)
Parc Monceau International Clinic (Paris XVII) - Seine-Saint-Denis private hospital
NEARLY 5000 GASTRIC BANDING PERFORMED BETWEEN 1995 AND 2014
MORE THAN 2500 OMEGA LOOP BYPASSES (OR MINI BYPASS) PERFORMED SINCE 2005
NEARLY 1000 GASTRIC BANDS WERE CONVERTED TO BYPASSES
NEARLY 100 SLEEVE GASTRECTOMIES HAVE ALREADY BEEN CONVERTED TO BYPASSES
Being the most efficient, the Omega Loop bypass (or mini bypass) is our reference procedure. It is technically more simple to perform than the Roux-en-Y bypass as well as more easily reversed. Moreover, it cures diabetes in nearly all cases.
The sleeve gastrectomy is a procedure that we only suggest in particular cases since it cannot be reversed and tends to cause important reflux.
Debilitating reflux is the reason why the sleeve may be converted to a bypass. This procedure has been known to cure reflux in 100% of cases.
Gastric banding is a simple and reversible procedure but it comes with a high failure rate (in our experience, in more than 80% of cases).
In case of failure, replacing the band by a bypass tends to give better results in terms of weight loss.
The duodenal switch is a technically difficult procedure with a high complication rate. Its use is restricted to very particular cases.
The CMCO is also involved in research as well as in the development of surgical techniques for bariatric surgery. During national and international conferences, we aim to provide data and publications for healthcare professionals.
