Some of the minimally invasive weight loss surgeries we offer include:

• Duodenal Switch – A procedure that promotes weight loss by limiting the amount of food that can be consumed.
• Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass – Patients can lose up to 80% of excess body weight. The most dramatic weight loss occurs in the first year after surgery.
• Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy – A treatment that helps you lose weight by removing approximately 75% of the stomach.

A small percentage of bariatric surgery patients opt to have a past procedure evaluated if they feel the surgery did not work properly and are experiencing issues like:

• Lap-Band^® slippage or blockage
• Weight regain
• Severe heartburn and reflux

Depending on your unique needs, we may recommend either a revision, which modifies your original procedure, or a conversion, which replaces your procedure with a new solution. Schedule your evaluation today and let our experts determine the approach that’s best for your long-term weight-loss success.
