Our Life-Changing Weight Loss Procedures

We offer both non-surgical and surgical options, allowing us to tailor a solution to your specific needs and goals.

1. The Intragastric Balloon: A Non-Surgical Head Start

The Intra-Gastric Balloon is a powerful, non-surgical tool designed to give you a significant advantage on your weight loss journey. It is a soft, temporary balloon that sits in your stomach, helping you feel satisfied with smaller meals. By naturally reducing your appetite and helping you master portion control, it empowers you to build the healthy, sustainable eating habits that lead to lasting success.

The Intragastric Balloon is best suited for individuals who:

• Are looking for a serious, effective, non-surgical weight loss solution.

• Are committed to a medically supervised program of diet and lifestyle changes.

• Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) typically between 30 and 40.

 

2. Bariatric Surgery: A Lasting Surgical Transformation

For patients seeking a permanent and powerful solution for significant weight loss, bariatric surgery offers a path to profound and lasting transformation. These procedures work by surgically reducing the size of the stomach, which limits food intake and helps you feel full much sooner, leading to substantial and sustainable weight loss. Our expert surgeons specialize in the most advanced, minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques.

Our Bariatric Surgery options include:

• Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: The surgeon removes a portion of the stomach, creating a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This is the most common and a very effective bariatric procedure.

• Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass: A procedure that creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes a portion of the small intestine, leading to reduced calorie absorption.

Bariatric surgery is typically considered for individuals who:

• Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or 35 with related health conditions (like diabetes or hypertension).

• Have tried other weight loss methods without long-term success.

• Are committed to lifelong changes in diet and lifestyle.

Taking the first step is the most important one. We invite you to schedule a private and confidential consultation with one of our bariatric specialists. We are here to listen to your story, answer your questions, and help you determine the best path forward for you in a supportive, no-pressure environment.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Balloon vs. Surgery: What’s the difference?
The Gastric Balloon is a temporary, non-surgical tool to help you learn portion control. Bariatric Surgery (like a sleeve or bypass) is a permanent surgical procedure for more significant, long-term weight loss.

2. How much weight can I lose?
Results vary, but Gastric Balloon patients often lose 10-15% of their total body weight. Bariatric Surgery patients can lose 50-70% of their excess body weight.

3. Am I a good candidate?
This depends on your BMI and health history. A private consultation with our specialists is the best way to determine the right option for you.

4. What is the recovery time?
The non-surgical Gastric Balloon requires just a few days of downtime. Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery typically involves a 1-3 day hospital stay and a return to normal activities in 2-4 weeks.

5. Are the results permanent?
These procedures are powerful tools, not magic solutions. Long-term success requires a commitment to the healthy lifestyle changes that our comprehensive support program will teach you.

6. What support do you offer after the procedure?
Our commitment to you is long-term. Your care includes regular follow-up appointments with our entire team—surgeons, dietitians, and wellness coaches—to ensure your lasting success.
