Arizona Weight Loss Procedures
Weight Loss Surgery is the first step...to a healthier you. We're here to help you learn and apply the rest! Once a person is morbidly obese, their chances of losing the excess weight and keeping it off by diet and exercise alone are less than 1 in 1,000. For someone who is morbidly obese, weight loss surgery is often their last hope for a healthier future.
Arizona Weight Loss Solutions provides patients with a multidisciplinary program that is designed to provide patients with the tools that will help them succeed in making and applying behavioral modification practices in their lives. Each of our patients receives nutrition, lifestyle, exercise and psychological education to help them accomplish these goals.
Gastric Bypass Roux En Y
According to the American Society for Bariatric Surgery and the National Institutes of Health, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is the current gold standard procedure for weight loss surgery.
Laparoscopic Gastric Band
The Band procedure is an adjustable gastric band designed to help you lose excess body weight, improve weight-related health conditions and enhance quality of life.
Laparoscopic Surgery
For the last decade, laparoscopic procedures have been used in a variety of general surgeries. Many people mistakenly believe that these techniques are still "experimental."
Sleeve Gastrectomy
The gastric sleeve is a recent addition to the surgical armamentarium for the treatment of obesity. In this operation a large portion of the stomach is removed leaving only a tube or "sleeve" of stomach connecting the esophagus to the duodenum.
Stomaphy X
StomaphyX™ is a surgical procedure that does not require an incision. This procedure will create folds in the tissue of the gastrointestinal tract to reduce the size of your stomach.
In most cases, StomaphyX™ is done as revision surgery after a gastric bypass, to resize the pouch of the stomach and the connection to the Roux limb if it has stretched out. StomaphyX™ is an outpatient surgery, with a possible post operative admission, and is done under general anesthesia.
