Procedure Type Combined Restrictive / Malabsorptive Description:

• Stapling is used to create a small, upper stomach pouch which restricts the amount of food to be consumed.
• A portion of small bowel is bypassed thus delaying food from mixing with digestive juices to avoid complete calorie absorption.

Results:

• Average of 77% of excess body weight loss one year after surgery
• Studies show that after 10 to 14 years, patients have maintained 60% of excess body weight loss . Study of 500 patients showed that 96% of certain associated health conditions studied were improved or resolved, including back pain, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, Type II diabetes and depression.
• In most cases patients report an early sense of fullness, combined with a sense of satisfaction, that reduces the desire to eat.
