Sleeve Gastrectomy
During a sleeve gastrectomy procedure, a surgeon creates a small, sleeve-shaped stomach, removing approximately 75 to 80% of the stomach. This new stomach can hold between 60 to 120 milliliters or 2 to 4 ounces. The stomach pouch created is about the size of a banana.
-
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery
During a gastric bypass procedure, a surgeon creates a small pouch-like stomach. This new stomach resembles the size of an egg and can hold 30 to 60 milliliters or 1 to 2 ounces. During this procedure, the surgeon also reroutes the small intestine and connects it to the newly formed pouch or “stomach.”

Revisions and Conversions
For patients having inadequate weight loss or complications from Lap-Band® surgery, we offer conversions to more effective surgical solutions.
-
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Our team offers the most advanced robotic-assisted and laparoscopic procedures, which mean fewer incisions, less scarring and a faster recovery. Patients are typically released from the hospital the day after surgery, and depending on their occupation, many patients return to work in one to two weeks.
