Gastric Sleeve
Gastric sleeve surgery reduces stomach size by 80%, promoting significant weight loss through restriction. This irreversible procedure alters gut hormones to decrease appetite while maintaining normal digestion. Patients typically lose 60-70% of excess weight within 12-18 months when combined with lifestyle changes.
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty
ESG uses sutures to reduce stomach volume without incisions, offering 15-20% body weight reduction. This minimally invasive procedure requires no hospital stay and preserves future surgical options. Patients receive ongoing nutritional support to maximize results.
Medical Weight Loss Program
Our four-month program combines medical supervision with nutrition education. Patients work with dietitians and physician assistants who may prescribe FDA-approved medications. This structured approach addresses behavioral patterns while monitoring health metrics for sustainable results.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch connected directly to the small intestine, achieving 70-80% excess weight loss. This dual-mechanism procedure (restriction and malabsorption) often resolves type 2 diabetes within weeks. Long-term vitamin supplementation is required.
Duodenal Switch
Duodenal switch combines stomach reduction with intestinal rerouting for 70-90% excess weight loss. This procedure preserves more of the stomach's natural function while significantly reducing calorie absorption. Patients require lifelong nutritional monitoring.
