Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
The ‘Sleeve’ Gastrectomy is the most commonly performed bariatric surgery in our region. The surgery consists of removing the side of the stomach, while retaining a ‘Sleeve’ for normal digestion.
Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass has been the most extensively studied and performed bariatric surgery since the beginning of the specialty. The stomach is partitioned into a small pouch, limiting food intake and letting it absorb less.
Revision Bariatric Surgery
Revision bariatric surgery is an additional weight loss surgery to convert one procedure to another. Our most often performed revision surgery is removing the gastric band and converting to a sleeve gastrectomy.
LAP-BAND® Surgery
In LAP-BAND® surgery, an adjustable silicone band is placed around the upper part of the stomach to restrict food intake. A port (or reservoir) located under the skin of the abdomen allows the surgeon to adjust the band’s tightness.
