Bariatric and metabolic surgery

A decision like this takes real information.

Bariatric surgery isn't for everyone. Your evaluation decides whether it's an option for you and which technique fits.

Procedures the doctor performs

All laparoscopic.

Vertical sleeve gastrectomy

Part of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller, tube shaped stomach.

A small stomach pouch is created and connected directly to part of the intestine.

One anastomosis gastric bypass

A long, tube shaped stomach with a single connection to the intestine.

A sleeve with a second connection to the intestine, so food has two paths.
