Our Most Popular Bariatric Surgery Solutions
GASTRIC SLEEVE
The gastric sleeve surgery can help patients lose large amounts of weight by surgically removing a significant portion of the stomach. A long narrow vertical pouch (about 2-3 oz) is created by stapling off and removing 85% of the stomach. A key benefit of this procedure is the decrease of the secretion of the hormone ghrelin which stimulates the appetite.
GASTRIC BYPASS
Gastric bypass surgery not only limits your food intake; it also restricts the amount of calories and nutrients the body absorbs. It also has an immediate effect on the hormones that control insulin secretion and other metabolic responses. In fact, recent studies have found that the gastric bypass surgery works better than medication for type 2 diabetes.
GASTRIC BALLOON
The technology & design of the balloon helps patients lose up to 3x the weight of diet & exercise alone. ORBERA® is a durable gastric balloon made out of soft silicone. While in your stomach for six months, it encourages your body to adapt to healthier behaviors, taking up enough space in your stomach to help you adapt to healthier portion sizes. Only a 30 minute procedure!
