Our Procedures
Gastric Bypass Gastric Bypass surgery makes
the stomach smaller and allows food to bypass
part of the small intestine. The most common
gastric bypass surgery is a Roux-en-Y Gastric
Bypass. The stomach is made smaller by creating a
pouch at the top of the stomach. The smaller
stomach is connected directly to the middle
portion of the small intestine, bypassing the
rest of the stomach and the upper portion of the
small intestine. Most people return to their
normal activities within 2 to 4 weeks after
Gastric Bypass surgery. The result of the surgery
is that you will feel full more quickly than when
your stomach was its original size. This reduces
the amount of food you eat and the calories
consumed. Bypassing part of the intestine also
results in fewer calories being absorbed. It is
important to remember surgery may require you to
make several changes in how you eat, such as
eating only a few ounces of food at a time
because the surgery creates a much smaller
stomach. Gastric Bypass Facts Technically a
higher risk surgery. On average 70-80 excess
weight loss at one year. Faster resolution of
co-morbidities. Non-reversible.

Our Procedures
LAP-BAND Surgery/REALIZE Band Laparoscopic
banding is the only procedure available in the U.
S. that is adjustable and completely reversible.
By reducing the capacity of the stomach, the
LAP-BAND/REALIZE Band restricts the amount of
food that can be consumed. Since there is no
cutting, stapling or intestinal rerouting
involved, this surgery is considered the least
traumatic of all weight loss surgeries. The
laparoscopic approach to surgery generally means
less post-operative pain and quicker recovery.
Like a wrist-watch, the Lap-Band is fastened
around the stomach. As a result, you experience
an earlier sensation of fullness and are
satisfied with smaller amounts of food. Because
the LAP-BAND/REALIZE band is adjustable, it can
work with your individual needs. For example,
pregnant patients can have fluid removed from
their band to allow for adequate nutrition, and
patients who arent experiencing significant
weight loss can have their bands tightened.
LAP-BAND/REALIZE Band Surgery Facts
Technically lower risk. On average 36-40 excess
weight loss at one year. Average of 60-65
excess weight loss at 3-5 years. Reversible.

Our Procedures
Sleeve Gastrectomy The Sleeve Gastrectomy is
sometimes the best solution for those who are
concerned about the potential long-term side
effects of a Gastric Bypass. People who need to
take anti-inflammatory medications may also want
to consider this. Typically, these medications
need to be avoided after a Gastric Bypass because
the risk of developing ulcers from these
medications may increase. This procedure
generates weight loss solely through gastric
restriction (reduced stomach volume). The stomach
is restricted by dividing it vertically. This
part of the procedure is not reversible. The
stomach that remains is shaped like a banana. The
nerves to the stomach and the outlet valve
(pylorus) remain intact with the idea of
preserving the functions of the stomach while
reducing the volume. By comparison, in a
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, the stomach is divided,
not removed, and the pylorus is excluded.
Sleeve Gastrectomy Facts Lower risk than
Gastric Bypass. Higher risk than LAP-BAND/REALIZE
Band. Long- and short-term weight loss between
Band and Bypass. No dumping syndrome. No need for
Band fills.
