Mini Gastric Bypass
The Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) is a simple and successful and laparoscopic weight loss surgery. The operation usually lasts 30 minutes, and hospitalization is almost always less than 24 hours. MGB is low risk, and the prospects of long-term, permanent weight loss are excellent. The procedure results in minimal pain, and it is easily reversed or updated.

Gastric Sleeve Procedure
Gastric Sleeve - also called a sleeve gastrectomy - is a relatively new procedure that, like the other surgeries, promote weight loss by restricting food intake. This procedure also removes the section of the stomach responsible for producing hormones that stimulate hunger, and it does not alter the intestine.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RNY)
Roux en Y (RNY) is a bariatric procedure that staples off a 1-ounce stomach pouch at the upper portion of the stomach. A section of small bowel is then attached to the pouch via a small opening, which simulates the pyloric valve.

Lap-Band Procedure
The Lap-Band creates a small pouch in the upper part of the stomach with a controlled and adjustable stoma, which limits food intake. A gastric band device is introduced through small incisions in the abdomen, and is placed around the upper part of the stomach. This band significantly reduces the size of the stomach.

StomaphyX
There are times when bariatric patients gain back weight and/or stretch out their 'pouch', causing them to eat too much food. StomaphyX restores the pouch to its correct size, and lets patients get back on track toward their weight loss goals.
