Surgical options to fit your goals
Gastric bypass surgery
Gastric bypass, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is a procedure that alters the process of digestion so you feel fuller faster. The surgery is performed through small abdominal incisions, which results in less pain and a quicker recovery.
Vertical sleeve gastrectomy
Vertical sleeve gastrectomy generates weight loss by restricting the amount of food that can be eaten by removing 85 percent or more of the stomach, including the portion responsible for producing a hormone that causes appetite and hunger. Less invasive than gastric bypass surgery, this procedure has been known to dramatically improve health problems related to weight.
Giving you a new lease on life
Bariatric surgery is more than a surgical procedure — it's a life-altering decision. If you are significantly overweight and have been unable to achieve effective weight loss through diet and exercise alone, Sharp's bariatric program may help you achieve a healthier body weight and bring you renewed strength and vitality.
