Advanced Bariatric Treatment Options
Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery
Our expert bariatric surgeons use minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques to perform weight-loss procedures such as gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and adjustable gastric banding. These methods help reduce the size of the stomach or alter the digestive tract, supporting effective long-term weight loss. Laparoscopic surgery offers significant benefits over traditional open surgery, including reduced risk and quicker recovery.
Procedure Benefits
- Small incisions with minimal scarring
- Reduced blood loss during surgery
- Lower risk of infection and complications
- Decreased postoperative pain
Recovery Advantages
- Faster recovery time (2–4 weeks)
- Quicker return to daily activities
- Improved mobility and energy levels
- Better quality of life with lifestyle improvements
