Services Offered
Our comprehensive weight loss services encompass both surgical and non-surgical options tailored to each patient's unique needs. We offer gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, and gastric banding procedures performed by experienced bariatric surgeons using minimally invasive techniques. Pre-operative services include nutritional counseling, psychological evaluations, and medical clearances to ensure you're fully prepared for surgery. Beyond surgery, we provide extensive support programs including nutrition education, support groups, and ongoing medical monitoring. Our registered dietitians work closely with patients to develop sustainable eating habits and meal planning strategies. We also offer specialized programs for diabetes management, as many of our patients experience significant improvement or resolution of Type 2 diabetes following treatment. Post-operative care includes regular follow-ups, lab monitoring, and access to our patient portal for continuous support. Exercise counseling and behavioral modification programs help ensure long-term success and healthy lifestyle maintenance.
Treatment Options
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Laparoscopic procedure that creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the small intestine, resulting in significant weight loss through restriction and malabsorption.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Surgical removal of approximately 80% of the stomach, creating a banana-shaped sleeve that restricts food intake and reduces hunger hormones.
Gastric Banding
Adjustable band placed around the upper stomach to create a small pouch, providing restriction that can be modified as needed.
Revision Surgery
Corrective procedures for patients who've had previous bariatric surgery that needs modification, conversion, or correction due to complications or inadequate weight loss.
What to Expect
Your weight loss journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we review your medical history, weight loss goals, and previous attempts at weight management. Our team conducts thorough evaluations including physical exams, lab work, and discussions about which treatment options might work best for your situation.
If surgery is recommended, we'll guide you through pre-operative requirements including nutritional counseling, psychological evaluation, and insurance approval processes. Most patients attend educational seminars and support groups before their procedure. Surgery is performed using minimally invasive techniques when possible, typically requiring 1-2 days in the hospital. Post-operatively, you'll have regular follow-up appointments at specific intervals: 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and annually thereafter. We provide comprehensive support throughout your recovery and long-term maintenance phases.

First-Time Patient Tips
Successful weight loss surgery requires commitment to significant lifestyle changes both before and after your procedure. We recommend starting healthy eating habits and regular exercise before surgery to help ensure better outcomes. Attending our educational seminars and support groups is crucial for understanding what to expect.
After surgery, following your nutrition and exercise guidelines is essential for optimal results. Most patients lose 60-80% of their excess weight within the first year, but long-term success depends on maintaining healthy habits. We encourage active participation in our support programs and staying connected with your care team.
