Morbid Obesity Surgery

With the increasing consumption of junk food and the lack of regular exercise, more and more people are moving into the category of morbid obesity. A genetic history with morbidly obese family members makes it even more difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

The Surgical Weight Loss Clinic helps people finally realize their dream of better health by offering innovative weight loss surgery for safe, long term weight loss.

Administered by one of our two obesity surgery specialist surgeons, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAP-BAND® System) has become the preferred choice for patients the world over.

1. We insert an adjustable ring around the top of your stomach, creating a smaller stomach pouch
2. This controls the passage of food from the upper to the lower part of the stomach.
3. Your food intake diminishes as your digestion slows leading you to feel fuller, longer, with fewer hunger pangs.
4. The band can be easily adjusted, without further surgery, controlling the rate of weight loss.

This adjustability is simply not possible with gastric bypass and other obesity surgeries. For patients with a BMI of over 35 (or over 30 with health issues), there is hope!
