ABOUT THE GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY PROCEDURE

Gastric bypass is a proven method for permanent weight loss as well as a potential cure for Type II Diabetes and other conditions related to morbid obesity.  There are many options available to you and we desire to assist you in attaining a healthier lifestyle if other weight loss options haven't been successful. Statistics have shown that gastric bypass surgery can help patients lose up to 90 percent of their excess body weight. The procedure works by limiting food intake and suppressing appetite. If you suffer from an obesity-related medical condition, you may be able to greatly improve your physical health by having gastric bypass surgery.

After the procedure, nearly 80 percent of patients with hypertension and 90 percent of patients with diabetes no longer need to take their medication. People with conditions such as asthma, arthritis, and sleep apnea also see an improvement in their well-being after surgery. A qualified bariatric surgeon can evaluate your medical history to see if you would benefit from gastric bypass surgery.

Also called bariatric surgery, gastric bypass is a surgical method that restricts the amount of food you are able to eat and sometimes the amount of nutrients that can be absorbed by your body. The nutrient and calorie restriction that is the result of weight loss surgery usually causes very rapid weight loss. Our program provides a comprehensive bariatric "lifestyle" designed to optimize your journey through the process of weight loss surgery. Many of our new patients are referred by family and friends who were also patients of Bariatric Surgery Specialists.

ABOUT THE GASTRIC SLEEVE PROCEDURE

Gastric Sleeve is the latest bariatric procedure for permanent weight loss.  By making several small incisions rather than one large incision the evidence support this surgery may be the primary bariatric surgery for years to come.  The growing number of positive outcomes showing both rapid and sustained weight loss coupled with full recovery of diabetes, hypertension means patients can have a better long term outlook on health and quality of life.   

Candidates for gastric sleeve are typically 100 pounds overweight or have other weight related issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea or high cholesterol.
