Procedures

Laparoscopic Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass (RNY)

The RNY gastric bypass surgery is a bariatric (weight loss) procedure that has been performed for about 30 years. Most doctors and insurance companies have accepted it as the standard.

Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding

The adjustable gastric band is only a restrictive procedure. The small intestine is not altered during this procedure. Currently two types of gastric bands are on the market in the United States.

The Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve

The gastric sleeve is a restrictive procedure only. Unlike a roux-en-y gastric bypass or the duodenal switch, there is no bypass of the small intestines with the gastric sleeve, so all nutrients are absorbed.

Laparoscopic Biliopancreatic Diversion

The duodenal switch can be performed laparoscopically and is the most extreme procedure done today for weight loss. It is a more complex surgery and is usually reserved.

Laparoscopic Bariatric Revisions

Over the last several years a number of patients who had undergone previous weight loss surgery are now finding themselves regaining weight and have questions about possible.
