Surgical Weight Loss
At Advanced Health Analytics, we understand that achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can be a significant challenge, especially for those struggling with obesity. Our Surgical Weight Loss Services provide life-changing solutions to help individuals take control of their health through effective, personalized weight loss procedures. Our expert team of bariatric surgeons, nutritionists, and support staff is dedicated to guiding patients on their journey to a healthier, happier life.
Our Surgical Weight Loss Options:
Gastric Bypass: Creation of a tiny pouch at the top of the stomach and rerouting of the small intestine are the procedures involved in gastric bypass surgery. This reduces the amount of food you can eat and the calories absorbed by your body, leading to significant weight loss. This procedure is ideal for patients with severe obesity and can also improve conditions like type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy): During a gastric sleeve procedure, a large portion of the stomach is removed, creating a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This reduces hunger and limits food intake, resulting in steady, long-term weight loss. It is a less invasive option and offers a faster recovery time while helping improve overall health.
Gastric Banding (Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding): Gastric banding involves placing an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach to create a small pouch. This helps control portion sizes and reduces hunger. The band can be tightened or loosened over time to suit your individual needs, providing a flexible weight loss solution.
Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS): This procedure is a combination of gastric sleeve and intestinal bypass surgery, designed to significantly limit food intake and nutrient absorption. It’s a more complex option, often reserved for patients with severe obesity or those with metabolic disorders. BPD/DS offers profound weight loss benefits and improvements in metabolic health.
