Our Surgical Weight Loss Procedures in Los Angeles
We offer the following surgical weight loss procedures:
- Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve)
Sleeve Gastrectomy involves removing approximately 75-80% of the stomach, leaving a narrow, tube-like sleeve. This procedure reduces the stomach size, leading to decreased food intake and changes in gut hormones that aid in weight loss.
- Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass is a well-established procedure that creates a small stomach pouch and connects it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a large portion of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine. This surgery reduces stomach size and alters gut hormones, helping patients achieve significant weight loss.
- Adjustable Gastric Banding (Lap-Band)
Adjustable Gastric Banding involves placing an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach to create a small pouch and a narrow passage to the rest of the stomach. This procedure restricts food intake by making the patient feel full with smaller amounts of food.
- Single Anastomosis Duodenal-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy (SADI-S)
SADI-S combines the restrictive nature of a sleeve gastrectomy with a single intestinal bypass, making it a simpler variation of the duodenal switch. This procedure significantly limits food absorption and alters gut hormones to promote weight loss.
- Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS)
The Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS) is a complex surgery that combines a sleeve gastrectomy with an intestinal bypass. By significantly limiting food absorption and altering gut hormones, this procedure helps patients achieve substantial weight loss.
- Mini-Gastric Bypass (One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass)
The Mini-Gastric Bypass, also known as One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass, involves creating a long, narrow stomach pouch and attaching it directly to the small intestine. This procedure reduces stomach size and bypasses a portion of the small intestine, effectively limiting food intake and absorption.
