Interested in Weight Loss Surgery?
A Gastric Bypass Surgeon Might Suggest LAP-BAND ® System Surgery But…

Surgery is only one weight loss tool. At Arizona Weight Loss Solutions, each gastric bypass surgeon has several tools available to help a patient achieve effective weight loss. We offer a full spectrum of metabolic and bariatric weight loss surgery, including LAP-BAND ® System surgery, vertical sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, duodenal switch, as well as revision and conversion procedures for failed or otherwise complicated weight loss operations.

Gastric LAP-BAND ® System surgery, also called gastric banding, is a restrictive weight loss surgery which works by restricting how much food the patient can eat at any one sitting. Laproscopic insertion of a gastric LAP-BAND ® System is performed as an outpatient procedure; it is the least invasive weight loss surgery we offer. For more information,

Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy involves removal of the majority of the stomach – about 80-90%. Usually performed laparoscopically, and with a hospital stay of one day typically, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy works by a combination of food restriction and a metabolic effect. The gastric bypass surgeons at Arizona Weight Loss Solutions have performed over 1,000 Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy procedures, with over a decade of experience. This type of weight loss surgery is performed as either a stand-alone procedure or in combination with other procedures. For more information,

Roux-en-y Gastric Bypass affects weight loss through a combination of restriction of food intake and an effect on metabolism. The stomach is markedly reduced in size and food is redirected through the intestine further downstream. For more information,

Duodenal Switch is the most aggressive and metabolically active weight loss surgery we offer. While modestly restricting food intake, Duodenal Switch achieves weight loss through malabsorption and by changing the patient’s metabolism as well. This procedure allows for essentially normal eating while resulting in the most durable weight loss of any procedure. The gastric bypass surgeons at Arizona Weight Loss Solutions have the most experience in the southwest performing Duodenal Switch surgery. For more information,

Remember, if the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Make sure you have the right tool for the job.

From a Duodenal Switch to a Gastric LAP-BAND ® System, your experienced, gastric bypass surgeon will be there to help you every step of your weight loss journey.
