Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch
This procedure is a variation of Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD) in which stomach removal is restricted to the outer margin, leaving a sleeve of stomach with the pylorus and the beginning of the duodenum at its end. The duodenum, the first portion of the small intestine, is divided so that pancreatic and bile drainage is bypassed. The near end of the "alimentary limb" is then attached to the beginning of the duodenum, while the "common limb" is created in the same way as in BPD.
Exercise Consult
Individualized consults with a cardiovascular lifestyle specialist. Patients will receive assistance developing a healthy, individualized exercise program.
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (AGB) involves attaching an inflatable band around the top portion of the stomach and tightening it like a belt to form a small pouch that serves as a new, much smaller stomach. After the procedure, the diameter of the band around the stomach can be adjusted by a physician by adding or removing saline (salt water).
Nutrition Counseling
Developing a heart-healthy eating plan can help you reduce your cholesterol and maintain a healthy body weight, both of which are important in the prevention of heart disease. Nutrition counseling provides individual consultations with a nutritionist designed to create a healthy eating plan that is right for you. The nutritionist will review your blood lipid profile, discuss your current eating patterns and provide you with educational materials on foods that will lower your cardiovascular disease risk.

Revisional Weight Loss Surgery
Patients who have had weight loss surgery in the past may require other procedures to correct the complications or undo the ill effects of their original operation. These types of operations are called revisional weight loss surgical procedures.
Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RGB), the most commonly performed bariatric procedure, is both malabsorptive and restrictive. The procedure involves stapling the stomach to create a small pouch that holds less food and then shaping a portion of the small intestine into a "Y." The "Y" portion of intestine is then connected to the stomach pouch so that when food is being digested it travels directly into the lower part of the small intestine, bypassing the first part of the small intestine (called the duodenum) and the first part of the second section of the small intestine (called the jejunum). The effect of bypassing these sections of the intestine is to restrict the amount of calories and nutrients that are absorbed into the body.
Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy
This procedure generates weight loss solely through gastric restriction (reduced stomach volume). The stomach is restricted by stapling and dividing it vertically and removing more than 85% of it. This part of the procedure is not reversible. The stomach that remains is shaped like a very slim banana and measures from 1-5 ounces, depending on the surgeon performing the procedure. The nerves to the stomach and the outlet valve (pylorus) remain intact with the idea of preserving the functions of the stomach while drastically reducing the volume.
Weight Loss Consult
Individualized consults with a cardiovascular lifestyle specialist. Patients will receive assistance developing a healthy, individualized weight loss program.
Weight Loss Navigator
A specially trained registered nurse will walk you through each step of the bariatric surgery process. From helping you find the doctor that best suits your needs to providing helpful nutritional advice after surgery, your navigator will be with you throughout your journey.
Weight Loss Surgery Education
Information sessions to help you understand the criteria for weight loss surgery and each surgical technique, what to expect during your stay at the hospital, and what lifestyle changes to expect after surgery to achieve and maintain weight loss success.
