Weight Loss Surgeons

Dr. Scott Cunneen
The bariatric surgical team specializes in laparoscopic surgery. This type of surgery involves smaller incisions, less pain and faster recovery times for patients. Because of the laparoscopic expertise of our surgeons, Cedars-Sinai was selected as a site for testing the novel Lap-Band procedure. This minimally invasive procedure is used to treat obesity and is now FDA approved.

Types of Gastric Banding/Bypass Performed

1. Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (Lap-Band)
2. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Lap-Band
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding or adjustments.
Gastric banding is a type of surgery designed to limit the amount of food you can take in. It is the simplest type of weight loss surgery and can easily be adjusted or even reversed.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGBP)
This procedure combines two approaches to surgical weight loss: reducing how much the stomach can hold and reducing how much the digestive track can absorb of the food that has been eaten. The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is one of the most frequently done operations for morbid obesity in the United States.

Laparoscopic or open bariatric surgery, such as gastric banding or bypass is not an easy solution to morbid obesity and weight loss. It is a serious surgical procedure, involving health risks. To produce lasting weight loss it requires a long-term patient commitment to eating a healthy diet and following a regular program of physical exercise. Life-long use of nutritional supplements may also be necessary. So, before deciding, discuss your options fully with your doctor. © 2003-2008 Bariatric-Surgery.Info - Terms - Contact - Information - Resources - Add URL
