Sleeve Gastrectomy

Gastric Sleeve: also known as sleeve gastrectomy, a type of weight loss (bariatric) surgery that renders the stomach smaller. In gastric sleeve surgery, over half of the stomach is removed, leaving a thin vertical sleeve, or tube, in place of the normally-sized stomach. This results in an inability to eat the same volumes of food as prior to the procedure.

Gastric Bypass

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: The Roux-en-Y Bypass is a malabsorptive surgical weight loss option. Reducing the size of the stomach leaving an egg size pouch. Malabsorption is achieved by reconnecting the Roux limb further down on the small bowels.

Biliopancreatic Diversion With Duodenal Switch

Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD) with Duodenal Switch (DS) surgery is another malabsorptive surgical weight loss option that combines the banana like stomach of the sleeve and the re-routing of the duodenal limb on the small bowels.

Revision Surgery

Patients might require further surgery after undergoing any type of primary bariatric operation (Lap Band, Sleeve, or Bypass). Causes for a second operation may range from a mechanical problem with the first operation that have resulted in long term problems such as persistent vomiting, weight regain due to anatomical changes and, or worsening acid reflux.

A physician may offer a patient with a gastric sleeve requiring revision the option of revision surgery to the Gastric Bypass, Duodenal Switch (DS) or the SADI procedure in order to continue the weight loss journey.
