Sleeve Gastrectomy
A sleeve gastrectomy is a procedure performed laparoscopically, which removes approximately 65-70% of the stomach volume, leaving with a “banana” shaped stomach. This procedure is quick, safe, and effective in curing high blood pressure, diabetes, elevated cholesterol, and a host of other weight-related diseases. Most patients leave after an overnight stay for observation after surgery.

Gastric Bypss
Gastric bypass, also known as roux-en-y gastric bypass, is the current gold-standard of weight loss surgical procedures. It is the most effective at helping patients lose weight. First, the stomach is partitioned into a small pouch. Next, a segment of the intestine is connected to this pouch, through which food will travel, and eventually mix with the digestive juices created by your body. The procedure is performed laparoscopically, and requires a 1-2 night stay in the hospital.
Even if it’s not covered by insurance, we are able to provide the latest, and most effective, FDA approved weight loss drugs on the market.
