Services
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve gastrectomy permanently reduces stomach size to promote significant weight loss. This procedure removes approximately 80% of the stomach, creating a banana-shaped sleeve that limits food intake. Patients experience reduced hunger hormones and improved metabolic function, leading to long-term weight management success.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch connected directly to the small intestine. This dual-approach procedure restricts food intake while reducing calorie absorption. Patients benefit from rapid weight loss and improved type 2 diabetes management through altered digestive processes.
Orbera Balloon
Orbera intragastric balloon occupies space in the stomach to promote fullness. This six-month temporary device works with lifestyle changes to establish healthy eating habits. Patients receive nutritional guidance to maximize weight loss results during and after balloon removal.
Lap-Band Procedure
Lap-band system creates a small stomach pouch with an adjustable silicone band. This reversible procedure allows post-operative adjustments to control food passage. Patients achieve gradual weight loss through portion control and regular follow-up evaluations.
Weight Loss Injections
Prescription weight loss injections regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. These GLP-1 receptor agonists complement diet and exercise for enhanced weight reduction. Patients receive monitored treatment plans to ensure safe and effective results.

Dr. Naim is an excellent bariatric sergeant, he has done gastric sleeve for both me and my daughter. The results is been phenomenal. I am down to size 34 from 44 within 2 months and the process was very easy and professional. His surgery center is very comfortable.

Everything was good and everyone was very friendly. I just wish they went into more detail about what to expect over the next 6 months in preparation for the surgery.

My experience was very very good, especially the ability, care and concern of Dr. Naim & Staff during the whole process. The only caution is to be WELL INFORMED. Dr. Naim's staff does an amazing job, giving you plenty of 411 but it is A LOT to take in .. so do your homework. Honestly, I've never been met with such a a concern for the patient, every step of the way.
