FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 30, 2010 -- Overweight and obese people that live in Los Angeles are constantly on the look out for new gadgets or devices they can use to shed off their unwanted pounds. Some have success stories, some fail. Some understand the concept of healthy weight-loss, some are looking for a quick fix. Some opt to do it the natural way, some choose surgery. One of the well known weight loss surgeryies available to obese people is bariatric surgery.

Bariatric surgery in Los Angeles

Bariatric surgery, more commonly referred to as weight loss surgery, is a combination of surgical procedures performed to treat overweight and obese people. This is best for people who’ve failed to reach their weight loss targets through dieting and exercise routines. Compared to other surgical procedures in Los Angeles for obesity, bariatric surgery may help attain a more healthy body weight.

Bariatric Surgery Options:

Gastric Bypass

An effective and common surgical treatment to weight loss is the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass surgery, endorsed by the National Institutes of Health as an effective solution to permanent weight loss. This procedure requires no removal of the stomach but rather a reduction of stomach capacity. This is achieved with surgical stapling by creating a smaller stomach pouch and adding a bypass around a segment of the stomach and small intestine. Food is redirected, limiting the amount of calories absorbed. After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, many patients find that their Type 2 Diabetes is controllable.

Adjustable Gastric Banding
An increasingly common surgical option includes Adjustable Gastric Banding, an inflatable, adjustable band placed around the upper part of the stomach. The band restricts the amount of food consumption allowable. Adjustable Gastric Banding can be modified to each individual by being adjusted or removed if necessary. The surgery is done laparoscopically and considered minimally invasive.

Our Bariatric surgeons are specially trained in Bariatric Revision Surgery.

Los Angeles based Temple Community Hospital Bariatric surgeons work with each patient to determine the best Bariatric surgical option available.
