Weight Loss Surgery Bariatric surgery, or weight loss surgery, is an important decision to make. We understand the desire to have this surgery is a choice you are making for your long-term health. Our team provides the following bariatric surgeries: Gastric Sleeve: A sleeve gastrectomy is a restrictive procedure that decreases the stomach's size, limiting the amount of food consumed. A vertical sleeve of the stomach is created using a stapling device and the rest of the stomach is removed. As a result, patients feel full sooner and stay full longer. This procedure is typically done laparoscopically and allows for normal digestion and absorption of food. Gastric Bypass: Gastric bypass dramatically reduces the amount of food that can be eaten at one time by stapling the stomach to create a tiny stomach pouch. The remaining stomach and section of the small intestine are bypassed, which delays food from digestion and stops a portion of calories from being absorbed. In most cases, patients report an early sense of fullness and satisfaction that reduces the desire to eat. Gastric Revision Surgery: Patients who had previous bariatric surgery may experience weight gain or gastrointestinal conditions and may need to revise their original operation. Revision surgery can be complicated, so it is essential to consult your surgeon to determine if revision surgery is appropriate.
