Surgical Weight Loss Procedures
Bariatric Surgery
If you are struggling to lose weight through diet and exercise alone, bariatric surgery—a medical procedure designed to support weight loss by altering the digestive system—may be an option.
Bariatric surgical procedures help people lose weight by making the stomach smaller, changing how the body absorbs food, or doing both. In addition to physical changes, bariatric procedures often trigger hormonal shifts that contribute to weight loss. Today, most bariatric surgeries use minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic surgery.
Benefits of Weight Loss Surgery
Weight-loss surgery has benefits well beyond weight loss, including:
- Long-term remission or reversal of type 2 diabetes
- Improved mobility and increased energy
- Lowered risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke
- Reduced or eliminated joint pain
- Improved mood and feelings of well-being
- Increased self-esteem and confidence
Weight loss surgery is designed to help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight, and it can help alleviate many other obesity-related conditions like heart disease, diabetes, sleep apnea, depression, and more.
Is Bariatric Surgery Right for Me?
Types of Bariatric Surgery
-
Gastric Bypass
We offer one of the most popular and successful types of gastric bypass surgery, called Roux-en-Y. Gastric bypass reduces the size of your stomach to a tiny pouch and connects it directly to the small intestine. -
SADI
SADI surgery – formally known as Single Anastomosis Duodenal Interposition – is a bariatric procedure that is ideal for people who are severely obese. -
Gastric Sleeve Surgery
The gastric sleeve procedure removes approximately 80% of the stomach, reducing it to a thin vertical sleeve. Similarly to gastric bypass and lap-band surgeries, the procedure helps patients lose weight by restricting the amount of food they can eat and helping them feel full faster.
