Thousands of patients have trusted LVHN’s Weight Management Center for their bariatric surgery and with good reason. We’re the top program in the region with the most advanced laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgical techniques.
Which weight-loss surgeries are offered at LVHN?
Sleeve gastrectomy
This laparoscopic procedure removes about 75% of your stomach, leaving a narrow tube (or sleeve) of stomach. This limits the amount of food you can eat and helps you feel full sooner, but allows for normal digestion and absorption so you get the nutrients and vitamins you need.
Gastric bypass
During laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery, your surgeon will re-form your stomach to create a smaller stomach pouch. A section of the small intestine will attach directly to the pouch. This allows food to bypass a portion of the small intestine that absorbs calories and nutrients.
What are the benefits of weight-loss surgery?
It’s about more than appearances. Weight loss is about living healthier, longer and better. Each person’s journey is unique. Results may vary from person to person.
