Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery helps the very obese achieve a healthier weight when routine diet and exercise or medications have failed. Weight loss surgery works by restricting how much a person can eat and/or decreasing the amount of calories the body can absorb. The Weight Management Center at Excela Health offers two types of surgery, the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and the Sleeve Gastrectomy.

The minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery used by surgeons at Excela Health offers these benefits:

  • Smaller incisions
  • Lower risk of infection
  • Faster recovery
  • Less pain
  • Lower risk of hernia
  • More...

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Decreased calorie absorption occurs when the route from the stomach to a portion of the small intestine is bypassed. The stomach is made into a pouch that holds less food. Both the bypass and smaller pouch allow you to eat and absorb less food, resulting in weight loss.

LAP-BAND®

If you currently have a LAP-BAND® and require help managing the band, or want to discuss removal, please contact us to schedule an appointment.

Sleeve Gastrectomy

A weight loss procedure that permanently reduces the size of the stomach. The surgery creates a thin "sleeve" of stomach, removing the rest. Patients experience significant weight loss and improvements to their health. The procedure limits the amount of food a person can eat and helps the person feel fuller, sooner.
