Our Weight Loss Solutions
We understand that losing weight and keeping it off is difficult. It not only harms your health, but your quality of life and the way you feel about yourself. That's why we offer both surgical and non-surgical solutions for weight management.
Gastric Sleeve
This bariatric surgery (also known as sleeve gastrectomy, or simply ‘the sleeve’) decreases the size of the stomach, limiting the amount of food that can be eaten at one time.
Gastric Bypass
In this procedure, the surgeon staples off a large section of the stomach, creating a tiny pouch, and then connects the small intestine to the pouch.
SADI-S
SADI-S Surgery combines the restrictive power of a sleeve gastrectomy with the malabsorptive power of the gastric bypass while preserving the valve at the bottom of the stomach to help maintain weight loss.
Non-Surgical Orbera Balloon
Want to lose 20 to 50 pounds? The Orbera Balloon could be right for you. In this 15-minute procedure, a balloon is inserted into the stomach and filled with saline solution. That’s it! Patients feel fuller with less food, which helps control portion sizes for proven weight loss.
Overstitch
If you have regained significant weight years after weight loss surgery, you may be a candidate for a new endoscopic procedure called Overstitch that offers lowered risk of infection, limited post-operative pain, no visible scars and faster recovery times.
Medically Supervised Weight Loss
Medical weight loss is a plan designed and supervised by healthcare professionals, emphasizing diet, fitness and a healthy lifestyle. Patients will receive an individualized diet plan, fitness goals and prescription weight loss medications when medically necessary.
