Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric Surgeons specialize in procedures that induce weight loss for those individuals with obesity. The obesity epidemic is responsible for an increase in diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, kidney disease, liver disease, and other complications. Successful Bariatric Surgery can improve or even reverse many of these conditions.

Bariatric Surgeons are experts in weight loss surgery and work closely with a multidisciplinary team that includes medical doctors, nutritionists, and psychologists to provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment plans specific to each patient.

Gastric bypass surgery restricts the amount of food the stomach can hold, and bypasses the part of the intestine that absorbs fat. A sleeve gastrectomy and lap band reduce the size of the stomach without diverting food from the small intestine. Gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy procedures can be done through traditional open procedure techniques or with a laparoscope, which allows the surgeon to operate through small incisions using a camera with a light. These operations are effective and safe and are used depending on the patient’s unique situation.

Success in any weight loss surgery depends upon many factors, including patient compliance. Bariatric Surgeons work in weight loss centers that perform many procedures annually, and have experience with all types of obesity to ensure the best outcomes for their patients.
