Adjustable
Gastric Banding

Adjustable Gastric Banding (ABG) is a procedure involving a device that restricts the upper portion of the stomach, creating a pouch that limits the amount of food ingested, prompting the feeling of satiation faster. The band is designed to be adjustable to accommodate the stomachs’ changing needs.

Roux-enY
Gastric Bypass

Gastric bypass is known as the gold standard for in bariatric surgery. This procedure reduces the size of the stomach and allows the food to bypass part of the small intestine; reducing the amount of calories absorbed.

Sleeve
Gastrectomy

Sleeve gastrectomy involves large resection of the stomach, including the fundus which produces a chemical that stimulates appetite. This procedure, to a degree, effectively restricts solid foods, not liquids.
