Bariatric Surgery Center
The Bariatric Surgery Center is a special medical foundation designed to help obese and overweight people lose weight due to a surgical procedure called bariatric surgery. This surgery is designed to manipulate the original digestive tract to reduce the consumption of food and reduce the amounts of food consumed. The theory is when the stomach is reduced in size the individual can lose weight fast, effectively, and safely.
The centers have many awards from American Society of Bariatric Surgery due to their level of excellence and performance. They are a highly quality team of experts that believe in working with each individual to obtain the goals and weight reduction. They have a commitment of improving the overall health of all of their patients.
Each patient is diagnosed for the best possible solution to provide the greatest results. The center has several forms of surgical procedures that make each patient able to reach their dreams and goals of effective weight loss. The goal of the team of surgeons is to limit the amount of food consumed and absorbed by the medical surgery.
Some of the procedures offered at the Bariatric Surgery Center include Roux-en-Y Bypass, which is a combination surgery for obesity that involves gastric stapling and intestinal bypass. This is a very common procedure performed frequently. This surgical procedure discourages patients from consuming sweets due to diarrhea and nausea when the types of foods are consumed.
Adjustable gastric banding is a procedure used to reduce the size of the stomach limiting the amounts of food eaten. This procedure is performed laparoscopically. The adjustable bands allows the patient to fill full longer to reduce their intake of food and to lose weight.
Laparoscopic Duodeal Switch with Bilopanacreatic Diversion restricts the food intake and the amounts of calories absorbed into the body. The stomach is largely left intact with a portion of the small intestines attached to the large intestines, the pancreas, and gall bladder.
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is a minimal invasive surgery that creates a smaller stomach region reducing food intake without any bypass procedures involved. This procedure may be used a step to another form of surgery for high-risk patients. StomaphyX is a new procedure that is available for patients that have had previous bariatric surgery but have regained their weight. This procedure is performed through the mouth without any incisions or scaring and faster recuperation time.
