You have three types of surgical solutions to choose from on your first step to long-term weight loss. Should you qualify for bariatric surgery at Obesity Solutions, we offer: roux-en-y gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, and gastric banding. All three reduce the size of your stomach so you feel fuller much faster, making small portions satisfying. Gastric bypass, the most successful at weight loss, also bypasses part of the intestine which makes eating most high-calorie foods almost intolerable and decreases the absorption of calories from food.
