Roux-en-y Gastric Bypass

For this procedure, we use a surgical stapler, which separates the upper stomach portion from the lower. It is usually performed on obese persons with Body Mass Index BMI over 40 or with less BMI but with obesity related disease. The operation is not a magical cure for weight issues but it is a step forward. It can decrease your weight significantly within few weeks to months.

Gastric Band

The LAP-BAND surgery is the least invasive surgery we offer. Equipment used includes a small adjustable silicone rubber band. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric band surgery or lap band surgery reduces the capacity of the stomach, so you have complete control over the amount of food you eat. This form of bariatric surgery, slows the rate at which food passes from the stomach to the intestines, so this facilities overall weight loss.

Gastric Plication

The Gastric Plication process uses laparoscopy. Small incisions are made and our surgeon inserts a small camera and other advanced surgical tools. No part of the stomach is removed for this procedure so it may be reversible for some patients.

Mini Gastric Bypass

Mini Gastric Bypass is a simplified form of the Roux-en-y Gastric Bypass. This surgery is also laparoscopic ally performed.

Duodenal Switch
