About Weight Loss Surgery

Many people with severe obesity attempt numerous approaches to weight loss.  Many enter a cycle of continuously losing and gaining pounds. Today the National Institute of Health (NIH) Consensus Conference on Obesity agrees that obesity is a serious health risk and that surgery is the only effective long term method for weight loss. 

At Allied Surgical the surgeons perform two procedures Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass and Laparoscopic Gastric Banding for weight loss.  They also perform an incisionless procedure called Stomaphyx.  This procedure is for patients who have had gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy and have gained weight back or have not met their goals. 

Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass surgery is a procedure that creates a small stomach using stapling instruments and then allows the food to empty slowly into your small bowel.  This procedure bypasses the larger part of your stomach and the first part of your small bowel.

When you bypass this portion of the gastrointestinal tract, your appetite lessens, your diabetes resolves and you begin to lose a significant amount of weight.  Gastric Bypass surgery requires you to take multivitamins and calcium everyday.

Laparoscopic Gastric Banding is a procedure that uses a silicon adjustable band placed around the top of the stomach.  The band limits the amount of food that can pass through the small stomach into the large stomach. Click here to learn more.
