GASTRIC SLEEVE
Gastric sleeve surgery works by removing approximately 80% of a person’s stomach creating a tube or sleeve like shape, reducing the amount of food that can be stored and leading to rapid weight loss. It provides a much faster feeling of satiation and quickly eliminates overeating by giving a feeling of being fuller for much longer.
The Sleeve Gastrectomy is the most common weight loss surgery performed and can help over-weight patients lose about 65%-75% of their excess weight within just first year. Miami Gastric Sleeve surgery is an ideal solution for effective weight loss that can last a lifetime.
- In the first year, 65%-75% of excess body weight can be eliminated
- Less complex and intrusive than traditional weight loss surgery options.
- Quickly signals the brain to a feeling of fuller for longer leading to rapid weight loss
GASTRIC BYPASS
Gastric Bypass, also known as Roux-en-Y, works by creating a pouch like structure known as the duodenum, which formed from the stomach and immediately linked to the small intestine. After the operation, the food that is ingested will go into the pouch that was just constructed, then go into the small intestine. This will permit a bypass for food, which will reduce the number of calories the body can absorb from the diet.
Expected weight loss in the first year can be anywhere from 50%-60% of existing body fat. Post-operative recuperation requirements can be more stringent than a Gastric Sleeve Miami surgery since it involves several stages and specific dietary restrictions may also be necessary.
- A 50%-60% reduction of body fat can be seen in first in twelve months
- The reduced caloric absorption of the body is ideal for quick yet long lasting weight loss
- Numerous health issues related to obesity can be improved such as severe joint pain and type 2 diabetes
LAP BAND
The Laparoscopic Gastric Band is a Miami Bariatric surgery where a silicone band is placed around the upper portion of the stomach creating a minimally sized pouch to store food. Once completed, the holding capacity of the stomach is significantly reduced causing you to feel much fuller while eating lesser quantities of food.
The Lap-Band generally leads to a slower yet more consistent reduction of weight, with a weekly average of about one to two pounds of body fat. The band is adjustable and can be varied depending on each individual’s needs, while recovery time is generally quicker than other Miami weight loss surgeries.
- The silicone band can be tailor adjusted to each person’s individual goals and need
- Expected weight loss shows a median occurrence of one to two pounds weekly
- Generally quick recovery times and entirely reversible
