Roux-en-Y
Often called the gold standard in bariatric surgery techniques, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a well-established weight loss surgery procedure that involves permanently altering the path of the upper digestive system. For more information click the following link: Learn more about Roux-en-Y surgery.

LAP-BAND®
The LAP-BAND® System is a popular alternative to the classic gastric bypass surgery, as it restricts the amount of food that can be consumed without making permanent structural changes to the digestive system.  For more information click the following link: Find out more about the LAP-BAND® System.

Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve)
The sleeve gastrectomy is a relatively new form of bariatric surgery. It involves reducing the size of the stomach as well as the stomach's ability to produce certain appetite-inducing hormones.  For more information click the following link: Learn about the Sleeve Gastrectomy.
