Weight Loss Surgery
Weight loss surgery helps you reach your weight loss goal as long as the proper diet and exercise regimen is followed.

Our bariatric surgeons primarily perform robotic-assisted and laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy.
Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy
Vertical sleeve gastrectomy promotes weight loss by restricting the amount of food that may be consumed without bypassing the stomach or part of the small intestine. The surgeon removes part of the stomach, resulting in a smaller sleeve-shaped stomach. This limits food intake and may decrease hunger by lowering certain gastrointestinal hormones.
Although the stomach's volume is reduced, it continues to function normally, allowing most foods to be consumed--but in smaller portions.
Vertical sleeve gastrectomy is a good option for people at higher risk for other bariatric procedures because of anemia, Crohn’s disease or other conditions.
We require the patient to be over age 21, generally in good health, and meet the American College of Surgeons and Metabolic and Bariatric Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program guidelines for bariatric surgery.
