Board-certified bariatric surgeons · JCI-accredited hospitals · All-inclusive packages
Every patient is unique. A qualified surgeon selects the safest, most effective procedure based on your BMI, health history, and goals — this overview helps you understand the choices.
The vertical sleeve gastrectomy removes approximately 75–80% of the stomach, creating a small banana-shaped "sleeve." This reduces hunger hormones and limits food intake, resulting in rapid, sustained weight loss.
The gold standard in bariatric surgery, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the small intestine. This combination of restriction and malabsorption produces significant, durable weight loss and often resolves Type 2 diabetes.
A silicone band is placed laparoscopically around the upper part of the stomach to create a smaller pouch. The band is adjustable via an access port under the skin, allowing the procedure to be customized over time. Fully reversible.
