Bariatric surgery is a proven solution for significant weight loss and improved health. These procedures modify the digestive system to reduce food intake and nutrient absorption, leading to long-term weight management. By influencing hunger hormones, bariatric surgery also helps control cravings and help patients feel fuller quicker.
We perform all bariatric surgeries using advanced robotic technology. This minimally invasive approach results in smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster recovery, allowing patients to return to their daily activities sooner.
sleeve gastrectomy
During a sleeve gastrectomy, typically a laparoscopic procedure, the surgeon removes approximately 75-80 percent of the stomach. A smaller stomach holds much less food, restricting one’s food intake. Removing a large portion of the stomach decreases ghrelin, commonly called the “hunger hormone.” Patients can expect to lose about 60-70% of their excess weight within one year of surgery.
Gastric Bypass
Food is redirected to a different area of the digestive system, bypassing the stomach and part of the small intestine. Thus, the patient’s body does not absorb as many calories. Patients will feel full much faster and expect to lose about 65-85% of their excess weight.
Duodenal Switch
The duodenal switch surgery is a two-part procedure in which one of our surgeons removes approximately 75-80% of the stomach. The surgeon then creates a small, tubular stomach pouch and connects the new stomach pouch outlet to the small intestine. This new system causes the body to absorb fewer calories and nutrients. Patients can expect to lose about 70-90% of their weight. No matter the weight loss surgery, most patients can expect to resume normal activities fairly quickly.
lap band removal
Lap Bands were once a popular way to lose weight, but have since had complications. We have helped many of our patients by removing their gastric band and undergoing a different weight loss procedure.
revision surgery
Not everyone achieves their weight loss goals with their first bariatric surgery. We offer revision surgery to help patients overcome plateaus or weight regain and achieve lasting results.

Liposuction w/ BodyTite
BodyTite uses radio-frequency energy to tighten the skin. In addition to tightening skin while simultaneously reducing fat, BodyTite can also help improve skin laxity after excessive weight loss or due to aging. BodyTite is less-invasive than traditional lipo, usually only requiring local anesthesia. BodyTite can be done in one 15-30 minute treatment. BodyTite patients see 40% firmer, more toned results compared to traditional lipo.
