Weight Loss Surgery

Get Back In Shape

Obesity has become a major health issue. Take back control of your life by getting the body you desire. 

Weight Loss Surgery

Non-Surgical Gastric Balloon

Non-surgical and completely reversible, the gastric balloon typically takes less than 10 minutes and doesn’t require sedation. You swallow a capsule containing a small balloon, and then the physician inflates the balloon.

After six months, the balloon is removed in one procedure with light sedation. The removal procedure is typically no longer than 15 minutes. Patients typically loose an average of 50 pounds in six months. 

Lap-Band Procedure

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) is a surgical procedure that involves the placement of an adjustable band around the upper portion of the stomach using a laparascope. The band is made of silicone and can be tightened by adding saline to fill the band. The band is connected to a port that is placed under the skin of the abdomen. This port is used to introduce or remove saline into the band.

Gastric Sleeve

Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical procedure that causes weight loss by restricting food intake. With this procedure, the surgeon removes approximately 75 percent of the stomach.  This results in the stomach taking on the shape of a sleeve which holds much less food. 

Gastric Bypass

Gastric bypass, involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting the newly created pouch directly to the small intestine. After gastric bypass, swallowed food will go into this small pouch of stomach and then directly into the small intestine, thereby bypassing most of your stomach and the first section of your small intestine.
