This whole experience has strengthened the relationship I have with my daughter and brought us much closer together. The most common weight loss surgery, the sleeve gastrectomy procedure is a form of bariatric surgery where part of the stomach is removed to reduce food intake. This procedure creates a smaller stomach pouch to reduce food intake and intestinal bypass to reduce calorie absorption and produce significant weight loss results.

Gastric bypass
Report
Your weight loss journey is personal. It's about commitment and having confidence in the surgery you choose. Many people find gastric bypass the right option for them because it's been around for over half a century and is the second most performed weight loss surgery in the United States.
People who undergo gastric bypass also find they lose more weight in less time than with other bariatric procedures, possibly because they experience a feeling of fullness and reduced appetite.If you and your physician decide gastric bypass is the preferred approach, the surgery will typically be performed through minimally invasive incisions using robotic-assisted surgical system.

Revision surgery
Report
Having concerns about your weight loss surgery outcome? Revision surgery is used when your first bariatric surgery didn't yield sufficient results or if you had complications. Another popular reason people undergo revision surgery is to convert from gastric banding (i.e., having the band removed) to another option.
Insurance FAQS
Report
Insurance can be one of the most important factors in moving forward with weight loss surgery. And while most insurance plans cover bariatric surgery, your coverage may depend on your medical history, insurance policy and benefit, or exclusions. That's why it's important to have a discussion with your provider about what's covered and what's not.
