Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass California

Gastric Bypass is the most commonly performed weight loss surgery. The surgeon creates a small 1-oz. pouch and connects it to the small intestine, separating food and digestive juices by 3-5 feet. This procedure significantly restricts the volume of food that can be consumed. It produces mild malabsorbtion and may result in "dumping syndrome" when sugars or fats are eaten. Patients are usually hospitalized for 2-3 days and return to work after 2-3 weeks. Gastric Bypass requires a lifetime supplement regimen including a multivitamin, vitamin B12 and calcium (plus iron for menstruating women).

What is Obesity?

Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat can have adverse health effects and lead to disease conditions, and reduce life expectancy. Severe obesity, sometimes known as "morbid obesity", is defined according to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company height and weight tables as being 100 pounds or 100 per cent above ideal body weight.

During and after weight loss, our team works with you to ensure your health and comfort, including body contouring to remove excess skin.

If you have had a weight-loss procedure performed elsewhere, we also specialize in revisions of prior weight-loss surgery. Patients sometimes may need a second surgery because of poor weight loss, regained weight or complications from the original surgery.
