Weight Loss Solutions: Surgical, Non-Surgical & Medication

With locations in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, our team of experienced surgeons and dietary specialists will create a plan that aligns with your goals.
Bariatric Surgery Options
Our surgical weight loss solutions include:
Gastric Sleeve (VSG) SurgeryDuring this weight loss surgery, we remove a portion of the stomach to create a smaller, sleeve-shaped organ that will hold less food. This reduction in stomach size helps decrease hunger and food intake, aiding weight loss. Unlike other bariatric surgeries, this procedure does not reroute the intestines, making it a simpler option for those looking to lose weight surgically.
Lap Band SurgeryAlso known as adjustable gastric banding, Lap Band surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that surrounds the upper stomach with a silicone band to create a smaller stomach pouch. The reduced capacity leads to earlier satiety with less food, promoting sustainable weight loss.
Gastric BypassGastric bypass surgery, also called Roux-en-Y, is a two-step weight loss operation that decreases stomach size and modifies the digestive tract to restrict food intake and nutrient absorption.
SADI SurgerySADI surgery is a streamlined version of the duodenal switch that creates a single connection between the stomach and the small intestine, shortening the nutrient-absorbing intestine to reduce calorie intake and enhance weight loss. This method promotes significant, sustainable weight loss while lowering the risk of complications common in more complex bariatric surgeries.
Gastric Band RevisionOnce the most popular weight loss surgery worldwide, gastric bands can often be revised into a gastric bypass or sleeve or SADI procedure.
Gastric Sleeve RevisionIf you’re seeking improved outcomes or experiencing issues after gastric sleeve surgery, a VSG revision can adjust your initial procedure. Known for its simplicity and efficiency, gastric sleeve revision has a low complication rate and delivers significant results.
The ideal candidate for each weight loss surgery varies. Our experienced team can guide you through the decision-making process and answer questions along the way.
