What Bariatric Procedure is Right for Me?
The Arnot Health Bariatric Surgery Program offers a number of weight loss surgery options for candidates who have been deemed medically fit for the procedure. Our surgeons will discuss each option with you at length so that together you can decide which one is right for you.
Open Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass – This is the most common gastric bypass surgery utilized. Learn More
Minimally Invasive (Laparoscopic) Gastric Bypass - Gastric bypass can be performed using a laparoscope. This less-invasive technique allows the surgeon to make smaller incisions, which lowers the risk of large scars and hernias after the procedure. However, this type of weight loss surgery isn’t right for all patients. Learn More
Laparoscopic Gastric Banding – Laparoscopic gastric banding weight loss surgery uses a silicone ring placed around the upper part of the stomach. This creates a new, smaller stomach pouch that can hold only a small amount of food. Learn More
