Surgical Bariatric Procedures
Gastric Bands
These silicone adjustable bands are placed around the upper portion of the stomach to restrict the amount of food that can be consumed, and to create a longer feeling of satiety.
Sleeve Gastrectomy
During the vertical sleeve gastrectomy, the stomach is restricted by stapling and dividing it vertically. Approximately 60% of the stomach is removed, so you feel full more quickly.
Gastric Bypass
The laparoscopic gastric bypass consists of separating the stomach into two sections using rows of staples, then dividing the stomach surgically.
Bariatric Revisions
This is a minimally invasive procedure that is used to treat patients who regain weight after gastric bypass surgery.
Robotic Bariatric Surgery
This is a form of sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgeries that utilize robotic assistance.
