Benefits of

Bariatric Surgery

For people who struggle with severe obesity and keeping their weight under control through diet and exercise, bariatric surgery can be life-changing. Weight loss surgery alters your digestive system by reducing the number of calories you can ingest, or by slowing nutrient absorption.

Patients can expect to lose about 60% of their excess body fat (or about 80 pounds) per year after their surgery. But our patients don’t just look forward to weight loss – they can find relief from many other weight-related health issues.

Conditions That Are Treatable With Bariatric Surgery

Many conditions that are linked to obesity can be prevented, slowed or even reversed with the help of bariatric surgery, including:
  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • Severe Sleep Apnea
  • Heart Disease
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

Types of

Bariatric Surgery We Perform

At Weight Loss and Wellness Center, we have several options for bariatric surgery and work to find the best option for you and your body type. Our procedures are all minimally invasive and have a short recovery period. The main three procedures we perform are detailed below:

Bariatric Weightloss Surgery

Gastric Bypass

During a gastric bypass, your surgeon creates a small, walnut-sized pouch in your stomach and connects the small intestine to it. This pouch only holds about an ounce of food, as opposed to the 3 pints it normally holds. This helps you feel full faster and restricts the amount of nutrients your body can absorb.

Bariatric Weightloss Surgery

Lap Band Surgery

Lap band surgery is the simplest weight loss procedure. Your surgeon will place an inflatable band around the top of your stomach, separating it into two parts and restricting the amount of food you can ingest. The band is easily adjustable to allow more or less food to enter the stomach.

Bariatric Weightloss Surgery

Sleeve Gastrectomy

In a sleeve gastrectomy, the stomach is stapled into a smaller size and the excess is removed, resulting in a smaller stomach. This limits the amount of food that can be eaten at once and can help patients keep weight off long-term.

Are you a good candidate

For Weight Loss Surgery?

Bariatric surgery isn’t an appropriate solution for everyone. To qualify for bariatric surgery at the Weight Loss and Wellness Center, you must meet the following criteria:

  • Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 35
  • Have a BMI of 30 with accompanying life-threatening health problems like Type 2 diabetes, severe sleep apnea, and high blood pressure.

The best way to find out if weight loss surgery is right for you is to schedule a consultation with our bariatric surgeon Dr. Majid. She’ll review your medical history, qualifications, and goals to determine if bariatric surgery is a good fit. If you’re not a candidate for bariatric surgery, don’t despair! We offer a wide variety of non-surgical weight loss solutions as well.
