The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass procedure is considered the "gold standard" weight loss approach for patients who have a BMI over 40. It is a wonderful way to remove excess weight and restore health.

During the Gastric Bypass procedure, a small pouch in the stomach is created and attached directly to the small intestine to limit food intake. This allows food to bypass the lower stomach and the first segment of the small intestine, resulting in reduced fat absorption and rapid weight loss.

This procedure is done laparoscopically at Lite Life Surgery, involving small incisions instead of a large surgical scar. Advantages of this procedure include less bleeding, reduced recovery time, decreased pain, and fewer chances of complications.

Sleeve Gastronomy is a restrictive surgery that limits the amount of food you can eat by reducing the size of your stomach. At Lite Life Surgery, it is done laparoscopically through small incisions in your stomach rather than open surgery.

During this procedure, 2/3 of the stomach is removed, reducing the size of the stomach to the shape and size of a banana. And since your stomach can hold less food, you will feel full sooner, resulting in rapid weight loss.

Sleeve Gastronomy is a good option for people who often travel or live in remote areas because it requires fewer follow-up appointments than gastric bypass and banding procedures.
