Services
Duodenal Switch
The duodenal switch is a two-stage bariatric procedure combining stomach reduction and intestinal rerouting to maximize calorie malabsorption. This surgery is ideal for patients with severe obesity seeking long-term weight loss and metabolic improvement. Our team employs minimally invasive techniques to reduce recovery time and enhance outcomes.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch connected directly to the small intestine, limiting food intake and nutrient absorption. It is highly effective for significant weight loss and resolving obesity-related conditions like diabetes. We prioritize robotic-assisted methods for precision and safety.
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve gastrectomy removes a portion of the stomach to create a banana-shaped pouch, reducing hunger hormones and food capacity. This irreversible procedure is suitable for patients seeking substantial weight loss without intestinal rerouting. Our surgeons use laparoscopic techniques for faster recovery.
Lap Band
The Lap Band procedure involves placing an inflatable ring around the upper stomach to create a small food reservoir. It offers adjustable restriction and is reversible. While less common now, it remains an option for select patients under careful evaluation.
Revisional Bariatric Surgery
Revisional surgery addresses complications or insufficient results from prior bariatric procedures. Options include converting to a different operation or correcting anatomical issues. Our specialists assess each case individually to determine the safest, most effective approach.
