Bariatric Surgery Options at Prime Surgicare

Gastric Sleeve in New Jersey: This procedure, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, involves removing a portion of the stomach to create a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach.

Benefits:

• Significant, sustained weight loss by reducing stomach capacity.
• Reduces hunger by lowering ghrelin (hunger hormone) production.
• Can lead to improvements in obesity-related conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.

Gastric Bypass Surgery: In a gastric bypass, the stomach is divided into a small upper pouch and connected directly to the small intestine, bypassing a large part of the stomach and small intestine.

Benefits:

• Often results in the most rapid and significant weight loss.
• Helps patients improve or even resolve diabetes, hypertension, and acid reflux.
• Alters gut hormones, leading to reduced appetite and improved satiety.

Gastric Band Removal: This procedure involves the removal of an adjustable gastric band, often due to complications, inadequate weight loss, or the patient’s desire for an alternative weight loss procedure.

Benefits:

• Allows patients to explore alternative bariatric options for more effective and lasting weight loss.
• Reduces the risk of complications associated with a gastric band, such as erosion or slippage.
• Improves quality of life for those struggling with band-related discomfort or ineffective weight loss.

Bariatric Revision Surgery: Revision surgery is performed when additional weight loss support is needed or to address issues from an initial bariatric procedure.

Benefits:

• Provides an opportunity to enhance weight loss results if initial goals were not met.
• Offers improved symptom control, especially for complications like acid reflux.
• Gives patients renewed weight loss potential and health improvements by optimizing or converting the previous bariatric procedure.
