Which Weight Loss Surgery Operation is Right for Me?

Often, the first and most important question future weight loss surgery patients ask me is, "Which bariatric operation is best for me?"

In 90 percent of all cases, the gastric sleeve (also called 'the sleeve' or VSG) will be the recommended operation for you. For this surgical weight loss solution, I divide the stomach into a banana-shape which significantly reduces the amount of food you need to feel full.

For patients with severe diabetes or acid reflux, the gastric bypass operation may be recommended. In this bariatric procedure, I reduce the stomach to the size of a small pouch and re-route the bowel.

Both operations provide the patient with a significantly smaller stomach and create a metabolic effect that also helps to lose weight.

In my surgical practice, we rarely perform lap-band surgery. We have consistently found that the sleeve and bypass patient outcomes are far more successful in the long-term.

I'm a strong believer in providing patients with the educational tools they need to make an informed decision about having weight loss surgery. My medical practice, Prime Surgicare, offers free patient seminars where I explain the bariatric journey from start to finish.

After this seminar, people will meet with me and our specially-trained bariatric team to ask questions and discuss next steps, if you choose to proceed.

If you plan to pursue a bariatric weight loss solution, arm yourself with a solid understanding of the process and the lifestyle changes required to obtain and sustain success.

Almost daily, we are privileged to watch people finally defeat obesity and, often, the chronic medical problems that go along with carrying too much weight.

If you have more than 100 pounds to lose, or have serious health issues related to your weight, consult with your healthcare provider about weight loss surgery and ask for board-certified bariatric surgeon recommendations.
