Bariatric and Weight Care

You have options when it comes to reaching your health goals. If you’re a candidate for bariatric surgery, you’ll have access to top surgeons and the highest-rated facilities.

Bariatric operations decrease the amount of food consumed and reduce the digestion and absorption of calories. Your care team will help guide you through the options that best fit your lifestyle.

Some of the minimally invasive weight-loss surgery options we offer include:

• Duodenal switch: A procedure that promotes weight loss by limiting the amount of food that can be consumed.
• Roux-en-Y (RNY) gastric bypass: Patients can lose up to 80% of excess body weight, with the most dramatic weight loss occurring in the first year.
• Sleeve gastrectomy: This tried-and-true procedure helps you lose weight by removing approximately 75% of the stomach.

A small percentage of bariatric surgery patients opt to have a past procedure evaluated if they feel the surgery did not work properly and are experiencing issues like Lap-Band® slippage or blockage, weight regain or severe heartburn and reflux.

Depending on your unique needs, we may recommend either a revision, which modifies your original procedure, or a conversion, which replaces your procedure with a new solution. Schedule your evaluation today and let our experts determine the best approach for your long-term weight-loss success.
