The gastric bypass procedure creates a small stomach pouch and connects it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a portion of the digestive tract. This reduces calorie and nutrient absorption and promotes hormonal changes that increase satiety, suppress hunger, and may reverse Type 2 diabetes.

How it Helps You:

• Reduces the number of calories and nutrients absorbed.
• Increases feelings of fullness and reduces hunger.

Gastric Reduction Duodenal Switch (often abbreviated as BPD/DS) is a type of combined weight loss surgery. It's considered both:

• Restrictive: Because it reduces the size of the stomach, limiting the amount of food a person can eat.
• Malabsorptive: Because it bypasses a significant portion of the small intestine, reducing the amount of calories and nutrients the body absorbs.

How it Works:

With this procedure, the food empties directly into the duodenum, bypassing about ¾ of the small intestine. This causes the body to absorb fewer calories and nutrients.

Duodenal switch surgery affects hormones in the gut to reduce hunger, increase satiety and help control blood sugar to effectively treat diabetes.

The sleeve gastrectomy, commonly known as gastric sleeve, is a minimally invasive weight loss surgery that creates a smaller, banana-shaped stomach, restricting food intake and promoting hormonal changes that increase satiety and suppress hunger. This procedure can also lead to the reversal of Type 2 diabetes in many cases.

How it Helps You:

• Limits the amount of food you can eat.
• Reduces hunger and increases feelings of fullness.

Medical (non-surgical) weight loss offers a powerful, patient-centered approach to managing weight and improving health, all without surgery.

How it works:

• Individualized Care: Your journey is completely individualized, with a plan tailored to your specific health history, goals, and lifestyle.
• Expert Medical Supervision: Care is provided under the careful guidance of physicians, registered dietitians, and other healthcare professionals.
• Addressing Underlying Health Issues: Our approach effectively identifies and manages health conditions that may impact your weight.
• Strategic Medication Use: Advanced weight loss medications (like GLP-1 agonists) can be strategically incorporated to enhance appetite control and improve metabolic function.
• Significant Health Improvements: Expect transformational results, including improvements in blood pressure, blood sugar (potentially reversing type 2 diabetes), cholesterol, reduced joint pain, and alleviated sleep apnea.

* Weight loss medications have been clinically proven to support 5-15% body weight loss within a 6-12 month timeframe. These options include both oral tablets and injectable treatments.
