Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve gastrectomy is a newer advancement in weight loss surgery that offers the benefits of both gastric bypass and banding without the common complications. This procedure involves removing a portion of the stomach, reducing the stomach's capacity and leading to significant weight loss. Patients typically experience a significant reduction in hunger, allowing them to feel full and satisfied with a small meal.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass is a proven and effective weight loss surgery that has been performed for decades. It involves dividing the stomach and creating a small stomach pouch, which reduces caloric intake and leads to significant weight loss. Gastric bypass can also cure diabetes overnight by inducing significant metabolic changes.
Lap-Band
Lap-Band surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing an inflatable band around the upper portion of the stomach to restrict food intake. This procedure is often used to help patients who are struggling with significant weight loss after other procedures.
