Bariatric Surgery

Most popular procedure • Minimally invasive

Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve)

Sleeve Gastrectomy is a minimally invasive weight-loss surgery that reduces the stomach’s size (often described as leaving a “tube” or “banana-shaped” stomach). Because the stomach is smaller, you feel full sooner and portions naturally decrease. Many patients also notice a significant decrease in appetite, which may be related to changes in hunger hormones after surgery. The sleeve is a strong option for patients who want powerful weight loss without intestinal rerouting.

Advantages: straightforward anatomy, no “bypass” of the intestine, fast, clear recovery pathway. Hormonal changes induced by the surgery can greatly reduce hunger and may help control insulin resistance.

Gastric Sleeve FAQs

Who is a good candidate for a gastric sleeve?

Typical candidates include adults with obesity who haven’t achieved lasting results with lifestyle measures, and who are medically appropriate after a full evaluation.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Most patients lose between 50 and 90% of their excess weight within the first year after surgery. However, results vary by starting weight, adherence to nutrition/activity, and follow-up. We’ll set expectations based on your specific profile.

What is recovery like?

Most patients are walking the same day of surgery and usually leave the hospital in the next 24 hours. Patients are instructed on our structured nutritional program, and we offer close follow-up until full recovery a few days or weeks after surgery.

Powerful Metabolic Impact • Long-Term Results

Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)

Gastric Bypass surgery is a procedure that reroutes the digestive system. It works by creating a smaller stomach pouch and bypassing a significant portion of the stomach and small intestine. This modification reduces the amount of food that can be consumed, and changes how the body absorb those nutrients. The combination of these two factors results in significant and sustained weight loss and improved metabolic health. The procedure is highly effective in managing many obesity-related conditions, including diabetes, high cholesterol and acid-reflux. Due to its high efficacy, it is often considered the "gold-standard" of bariatric procedures.

Advantages: greater, sustained weight-loss, significant impact in obesity-related conditions like type-2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, sneep apnea and symptomatic acid-reflux.

Gastric Bypass FAQs

When is bypass recommended over sleeve?

Often considered the best option for patients with severe acid-reflux, difficult-to-control diabetes, or those needing stronger metabolic effects after surgery.

Will I need vitamin supplements?

Yes. The rerouting of the digestive system changes how nutrients are absorbed, so vitamin supplemention is essential after surgery. We prescribe a structured supplement plan to prevent nutritional deficiencies.

How long is the hospital stay?

Most of our patientes stay 1-2 nights at the hospital, but some may requiere additional stay depending on recovery and individual clinical factors.

Abriged Procedure • Satisfactory Results

Mini-Gastric Bypass (OAGB)

The Mini-Gastric Bypass (also called "One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass" or OAGB) is a safe and highly effective, well-established metabolic procedure that combines the restriction of a gastric sleeve with the malabsorptive properties of a standard gastric bypass. In this laparoscopic surgery, the upper part of the stomach is divided to create a long, narrow tube (resembling a sleeve). This pouch is then connected to a loop of small intestine, creating a single, simple join (anastomosis) that allows food to bypass the first 150-200 cm of the intestine. This configuration not only reduces food intake but also modifies nutrient absorption and alters gut hormones, leading to significant, sustainable, and rapid weight loss.

Advantages: great option for revisional bariatric surgery, when the desired weight loss has not been achieved with other surgeries like the Lap-Band or the gastric sleeve.

Mini-Gastric Bypass FAQs

Is mini-bypass right for everyone?

Not necessarily. Certain conditions, such as severe acid reflux, may restrict eligibility. We determine candidacy based on a thorough review of your medical history, reflux symptoms, anatomy, and personal goals.

How does it compare to standard bypass?

Both options are effective. The best choice for you depends on a careful weighing of the slight differences in risks and benefits.

What follow-up is needed?

Ongoing follow-up—including regular visits, tailored nutrition guidance, and laboratory monitoring—is essential to ensure safe, sustainable, and effective results. Note that the specific risk-benefit profile may vary slightly for each individual.

Revisiting Success: Second Opportunity for Better Health

Revisional Bariatric Surgery

Revisional Bariatric Surgery refers to procedures performed after an initial weight-loss surgery to address ongoing issues. While primary bariatric surgery is highly effective, a second procedure may be required to correct complications, reverse unwanted side effects (like severe reflux), or address weight regain. Revisional surgery also includes removing devices such as Lap-Bands or BariClips, repairing altered anatomy, or conversion of the primary procedure to a different, more effective procedure to achieve better to improve weight-loss, improving long-term health and quality of life.

Advantages: re-initiates successful weight-loss, resolves complications and side effects of the original surgery, improves obesity-related conditions and quality of life.

Revisional Surgery FAQs

Why do people need revision?

Common reasons include reflux, weight regain, stenosis, or needing conversion to a different procedure.

What tests do you need before revision?

Depends on the primary procedure and the clinical presentation. Usually a combination of different tests are needed, including labs, imaging, and endoscopy to understand anatomy and plan the safest pathway.

Is revision riskier than primary surgery?

It can be more complex. That’s why evaluation, planning, and experienced surgical care are critical.

Medical Weight Loss Program

Doctor Supervised • Evidence Based • Sustainable

Medically Supervised Weight-Loss Program

Our GLP-1 program combines modern medication options (like Ozempic®, Wegovy®, Mounjaro® and Zepbound®) with physician oversight and practical lifestyle support. These medications help regulate appetite and cravings, improve portion control, and support meaningful weight loss—especially when paired with nutrition guidance, intelligent exercise, and consistent follow-up.

What’s included: medical evaluation, individualized dosing strategy, side-effect coaching, nutrition checkpoints, progress tracking, and ongoing adjustments to help you stay safe, comfortable, and consistent.

GLP-1 Program FAQs

Who is a good candidate for GLP-1 medication?

Adults who meet medical criteria for weight-loss treatment and who want a non-surgical option with structured physician follow-up. We confirm candidacy after reviewing your health history, goals, and current medications.

How quickly will I see results?

Many patients notice appetite and craving changes within the first weeks. Weight loss typically progresses over months and depends on your starting weight, dose titration, nutrition, and consistency with follow-up.

What side effects should I expect?

The most common side effects are nausea, constipation, reflux, or decreased appetite. Our program focuses on gradual dose escalation, nutrition strategies, and symptom management to keep treatment comfortable and safe.

How do you keep this safe long-term?

We monitor progress, symptoms, and tolerance with scheduled check-ins, and adjust dosing when needed. When appropriate, we coordinate lab work and medical follow-up to support safe, sustainable results.

Intragastric Balloon

FDA Approved • Non-Surgical • Completely Reversible

Intragastric Balloon (Non-Surgical Weight-Loss Option)

The Intragastric Balloon is a soft, medical-grade removable device that is placed inside the stomach during a routine endoscopy. The balloon is filled with fluid to partially occupy the stomach's cavity, creating a sense of fullness and reducing the amount of food that can be consumed. The balloon helps patients feel full faster, eat smaller meals, and reduce overall calorie intake.

Unlike bariatric surgery, the intragastric balloon does not alter stomach anatomy and is completely reversible. It is typically left in place for six- to twelve-months, and works best when combined with structured nutritional guidance and close medical follow-up.

Advantages: non-surgical and reversible, no incisions, same-day procedure, short recovery time, effective appetite control, and a strong behavioral “reset” for patients preparing for long-term lifestyle change or future surgery.

Intragastric Balloon FAQs

Who is a good candidate for an intragastric balloon?

Ideal candidates are overweight or obese adults who want a non-surgical option and are committed to dietary and behavioral changes. It is also useful for high-risk patients that need to lose weight before a definitive bariatric procedure, or those who are not ready for a permanent procedure.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

Weight loss varies, but many patients lose a meaningful percentage of their excess weight during the treatment period. Results depend on starting weight, adherence to nutrition guidance, and follow-up. The balloon works best as part of a structured medical program.

What is recovery and daily life like with a balloon?

Most patients return home the same day. Some temprary symptoms such as nausea and discomfort are common during the first days but improve quickly. Our team provides medication guidance and close follow-up to help patients adjust comfortably.
