New Surgical Procedure
In addition to Gastric Banding and Gastric Bypass Surgery, the Surgical Weight Loss program now offers a minimally-invasive Sleeve Gastrectomy. The Sleeve Gastrectomy is a procedure that limits the amount of food you eat by reducing the size of your stomach.
"I had ga stric sleeve surgery on November 29, 2009 and I have not slowed down since. I started losing weight immediately and I have never felt better. I can walk and exercise like I have not done so in years. I have stopped my blood pressure medications and I no longer require a CPAP since my sleep apnea is no longer an issue. For me this has been a walk in the park and one of the biggest blessings of my life." - Mart Carter, Sleeve Gastrectomy
