Gastric Bypass Surgery

LivLite Bariatric Surgical Weight Loss Program

Obesity is a growing concern that has been established as a critical health issue. In the United States alone, obesity affects approximately 30% of the population and is the second leading cause of preventable death.

Physical, emotional, cultural and societal factors influence obesity. It is a disease that contributes to many medical conditions including Type 2 Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, sleep apnea, osteoporosis, edema and clinical depression.

Comprehensive treatment of obesity is available and focuses on weight loss, medical conditions and a person's emotional and psychological state. The Liv-Lite Surgical Weight Loss Program successfully assists people on their weight loss journey by providing support to all aspects of obesity. This comprehensive program is effective for people who need to lose at least 100 pounds, or 75 pound or more with co-morbidities factors.

Curing obesity is not just about weight loss but about regaining control. Liv-Lite Surgical Weight Loss offers an effective, permanent solution for a happier, healthier, longer life.

Surgical Options

Gastric Bypass
An effective and common surgical treatment to weight loss is the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass surgery, endorsed by the National Institutes of Health as an effective solution to permanent weight loss. This procedure requires no removal of the stomach but rather a reduction of stomach capacity. This is achieved with surgical stapling by creating a smaller stomach pouch and adding a bypass around a segment of the stomach and small intestine. Food is redirected, limiting the amount of calories absorbed. After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, many patients find that their Type 2 Diabetes is controllable.

Adjustable Gastric Banding
An increasingly common surgical option includes Adjustable Gastric Banding, an inflatable, adjustable band placed around the upper part of the stomach. The band restricts the amount of food consumption allowable. Adjustable Gastric Banding can be modified to each individual by being adjusted or removed if necessary. The surgery is done laparoscopically and considered minimally invasive.

Our surgeons are specially trained in Bariatric Revision Surgery.

Temple Community Hospital surgeons work with each patient to determine the best surgical option available.
