Surgical Weight Loss Procedures:
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Weight loss is achieved by removing 75%-85% of the stomach without bypassing the intestines or causing gastrointestinal malabsorption.
Duodenal Switch
Weight loss is achieved by reducing the stomach's volume. In addition, bypassing part of the intestine reduces how much food and nutrients are absorbed, leading to weight loss.
