Our Bariatric Surgery Procedures

Bariatric surgery can help you lose a significant amount of weight and lower your risk of obesity-related diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea, arthritis, or cancer.

There are different types of bariatric surgery procedures that can be performed depending on your individual needs, goals, preferences, and medical conditions. Some of the most common types of bariatric surgery procedures are:

Gastric Sleeve

This procedure involves removing about 80% of your stomach and leaving a narrow tube or sleeve that can hold about 3 to 5 ounces of food. This reduces your food intake and lowers the levels of ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates hunger.

Gastric Bypass

This procedure involves creating a small pouch from the upper part of your stomach and connecting it to the lower part of your small intestine. This reduces your food intake and malabsorbs calories and nutrients. It also alters the levels of hormones that regulate your appetite, metabolism, blood sugar, and fat storage.

Mini Gastric Bypass

This procedure involves creating a small pouch from the upper part of your stomach and connecting it to a loop of your small intestine. This reduces your food intake and malabsorbs calories and nutrients. It is similar to gastric bypass but simpler and faster to perform.

Revisional Bariatric Surgery

This procedure involves modifying or repairing a previous weight loss surgery to achieve better outcomes, improve health, or correct problems. It can be done by reducing the size of the stomach pouch, adjusting the gastric band, or converting to a different type of surgery.
