Services
Gastric Sleeve
Gastric sleeve surgery reduces stomach size to limit food intake and regulate hunger hormones. This minimally invasive procedure promotes significant long-term weight loss while improving metabolic health. Patients often experience remission of obesity-related conditions like diabetes and hypertension. St. Louis Bariatrics provides personalized pre- and post-operative care to ensure optimal outcomes.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass alters the digestive system to reduce calorie absorption and create a smaller stomach pouch. This procedure addresses severe obesity and related health issues such as sleep apnea and cardiovascular disease. Our team uses advanced laparoscopic techniques for faster recovery and minimal scarring, ensuring comprehensive support throughout the patient's journey.
Medical Weight Loss
Our medical weight loss program combines FDA-approved medications, customized nutrition plans, and behavioral coaching. Designed for patients seeking alternatives to surgery or pre-surgical preparation, this supervised approach emphasizes sustainable lifestyle changes. The program includes regular progress monitoring and adjustments to meet individual health goals.
Revision Surgery
Revision surgery corrects complications or inadequate results from prior weight loss procedures. We evaluate each case individually to determine the safest, most effective corrective approach. Our expertise includes converting previous surgeries to more effective procedures while prioritizing patient safety and long-term success.
Gastric Balloon
The ORBERA gastric balloon is a temporary, non-surgical tool placed in the stomach to reduce capacity and control portions. Combined with six months of nutritional counseling and lifestyle coaching, this intervention jumpstarts weight loss for patients not ready for permanent surgery.
