Commonwealth Surgeons is one of the largest and most experienced weight loss surgery groups in Virginia and in the country. There is a great deal of assurance in having a surgery performed by a group that has handled well over 600 cases per year, offers patient support for life, maintains a morbidity rate that is better than the national average and performs surgery only at hospitals that are experienced and committed to excellence.

These are the Weight Loss Surgery approaches that we’ve found to be both effective in facilitating change and the least likely to result in the risks commonly associated with this surgery. You will discuss with your Commonwealth Surgeon which procedure is the right one for you.

Roux-en-Y Stomach Bypass
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass is the current gold standard of procedures and most frequently performed for weight-loss patients.

Gastric Restrictive Procedures
Restrictive procedures decrease food intake.

Malabsorptive Procedures
By bypassing the stomach and duodenum, malabsorptive procedures alter digestion, thus causing the food to be poorly digested and incompletely absorbed so that it is eliminated in the stool.

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
