Services
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve gastrectomy removes 70-80% of the stomach to limit food intake and reduce hunger hormones. This irreversible procedure creates a banana-shaped sleeve, holding 100-150cc, promoting gradual weight loss through appetite control. Patients typically lose 60-70% of excess weight within 12-18 months when combined with lifestyle changes.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass divides the stomach into a small pouch connected directly to the small intestine, reducing calorie absorption. This dual restrictive and malabsorptive approach achieves rapid weight loss, with patients often losing 70% of excess weight within two years. It also improves or resolves comorbidities like diabetes and sleep apnea.
Lap-Band Surgery
Lap-band surgery places an inflatable silicone band around the upper stomach to create a small pouch. Adjustable and reversible, this procedure restricts food intake by promoting early satiety. Patients typically lose 40-50% of excess weight over 12-18 months, with ongoing band adjustments required for optimal results.
Revision Bariatric Surgery
Revision surgery addresses complications or insufficient weight loss from prior bariatric procedures. Options include converting to sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass, adjusting band placement, or correcting anatomical issues. Each plan is tailored to individual medical history and weight loss goals.
SADI-S Procedure
SADI-S combines sleeve gastrectomy with intestinal rerouting to reduce calorie absorption. This two-stage procedure first limits stomach capacity, then bypasses 10 feet of small intestine. Patients typically achieve 70-80% excess weight loss while maintaining nutrient absorption better than traditional duodenal switch.
