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.




Duodenal Switch

The Duodenal Switch surgery generates weight loss by restricting the amount of food that can be eaten through a reduction in stomach size, by limiting the amount of food that is absorbed into the body through a re-routing of the intestines, and by a metabolic effect induced by manipulating intestinal hormones as a result of intestinal re-routing.


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.
