Gastric Sleeve
Gastric Sleeve Surgery, or vertical sleeve gastrectomy involves surgically narrowing the stomach. It is an innovative new surgical solution for people who are morbidly obese, defined as having a body mass index over 40. LEARN MORE

If you desire a reliable surgical option for rapid and long-lasting weight loss, the gastric bypass is considered the GOLD STANDARD. It has been studied for nearly 30 years.
