Obesity is a serious health concern affecting millions of people worldwide. It can lead to numerous medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. If you’re struggling to lose weight through diet and exercise, bariatric surgery may be a viable option for you.
Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, involves making changes to the digestive system to help a person lose weight. At our clinic, we offer a range of bariatric surgeries, including gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and adjustable gastric banding.
Gastric bypass surgery involves dividing the stomach into a small upper pouch and a larger lower pouch, then rerouting the small intestine to connect to the smaller pouch. This limits the amount of food you can eat and reduces the absorption of nutrients, leading to weight loss.
Sleeve gastrectomy involves removing a large portion of the stomach, leaving behind a smaller tube-shaped stomach. This procedure limits the amount of food you can eat and reduces hunger hormones, making it easier to stick to a healthy diet.
Adjustable gastric banding involves placing a band around the upper portion of the stomach to create a smaller pouch, limiting the amount of food you can eat.
Our experienced bariatric surgeons will work with you to determine the best option for your specific needs and health goals. We provide comprehensive pre- and post-operative care to ensure a safe and successful surgery and recovery.
Bariatric surgery is not a quick fix for weight loss and requires a lifelong commitment to healthy eating habits and regular exercise. However, it can lead to significant improvements in overall health and quality of life. If you’re ready to take control of your weight and improve your health, contact us to schedule a consultation.
