Our team of surgical and medical weight loss experts will provide you with the guidance and support you need to make an informed choice about your weight loss options.
What Is the Difference in Surgical and Non-Surgical Weight Loss?
Weight loss surgery is a big decision, but it may be one of the best opportunities for you to lose a significant amount of weight, reduce complications of being overweight, and improve your overall quality of life. Both surgical and non-surgical medical weight loss options may be available to help.
Surgical Weight Loss Procedures
Several surgical procedures are available to many patients. These include:
These procedures work by limiting the amount of food you can eat and reducing the amount of calories and nutrients your body can consume. In these procedures, surgeons make small incisions in your abdomen to change the passage food takes through the body. These are considered invasive procedures, even though most are done laparoscopically.
Non-Surgical Weight Loss Options
We offer two procedures that offer a much less invasive solution to weight loss. These procedures:
In these procedures, an endoscopic surgery occurs in which doctors can use an endoscope to place bariatric systems in place to encourage rapid weight loss. Here, doctors place an endoscope into your mouth and down into your stomach. Using this tool, which has numerous cameras and suturing elements within it, they can make changes to the stomach and upper intestine to alter the way food moves through your body, much in the same way as gastric bypass. However, there are no incisions made. This may reduce the risk of complications, speed up healing, and allow for better long-term results.
Lipotropic Injections for Weight Loss (non-surgical)
We offer lipotropic injections for weight loss that can be used as a stand-alone treatment, or as part of a comprehensive, multi-faceted approaches to long-term weight loss and management
Lipotropics are a group of three natural ingredients known as essential amino acids. These acids play a vital role in helping your body manage fat by enhancing the function of your liver and gallbladder, helping to increase the speed of your metabolism. They also work to dissolve fat into a liquid form that is easily eliminated from your body.
