How it works:

• Using small incisions in the upper abdomen, the majority of the left part of the stomach is removed
• The remaining part of the stomach is a narrow tube called a sleeve
• This makes the stomach smaller, which provides a number of benefits

Benefits:

• This procedure does not alter the digestive system
• Patients are satisfied after eating significantly less food
• Decreased hunger

How it works:

• The ESG is a minimally invasive procedure using an endoscope to shape your stomach to restrict the amount of food you can eat and feel fuller sooner.
• Reduces the size of the stomach by 70-80%
• This is an outpatient procedure that generally takes about 90 minutes.

Benefits:

• Minimally invasive
• No incisions or scars
• Feel fuller faster to achieve successful weight loss.
• Decreased hunger

How it works:

• The stomach is divided and sectioned off, leaving a small pouch to serve as a new stomach
• The small bowel is divided and joined to the small stomach pouch
• This allows the majority of your stomach and some of the small intestine to be bypassed

Benefits:

• This surgery allows patients to feel full more quickly
• The bypass also decreases calorie absorption because the food is not going through the entire intestinal path
• Decreased hunger

How it works:

• Using a single incision in the belly button means a virtually scarless procedure
• The SILS technique can be applied to Lap Band and Sleeve Gastrectomy surgeries

Benefits:

• Little or no scarring
• Shorter recovery time

How it works:

• The duodenal switch procedure is performed robotically in one or two stages through several small incisions.
• In the first stage, a surgeon creates a sleeve (similar to a sleeve gastrectomy), removing 70-80% of the stomach
• The second portion of the procedure involves rerouting the small intestine which means that the small intestine is not removed, but changed in position.

Benefits:

• Small incisions
• Decreased calorie absorption because the food is not going through the entire intestinal path. Reduced stomach volume so you feel full more rapidly.
• Decreased hunger

How it works:

• Gastric Bypass revision will decrease stomach size and provide better results!
• Gastric sleeve can be turned into a duodenal switch or a gastritis sleeve.
• Another option os to have your gastric band removed and perform one of our other procedures such as gastric bypass or gastric sleeve.

Benefits:

• If you had bariatric surgery and your results have not yet achieved your goals this procedure may be an option for you.
• Decreased hunger
