Surgical Options
Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve
A great alternative to gastric bypass or adjustable gastric banding is sleeve gastrectomy, a procedure that reduces the stomach volume, divides it vertically, and removes approximately 80% of the stomach.
Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass
Surgeons construct a “bypass” for food to skip sections of the small intestine by creating a small pouch in the stomach that prevents an abundance of calories or nutrients being absorbed the body.
Laparoscopic Gastric Banding
A band is placed around the uppermost part of the stomach that divides the stomach into one smaller and one larger part and allows the patient to feel full faster.
