Weight Loss Surgery with TreVita
At TreVita, we offer state-of-the-art bariatric weight loss surgery through our network of surgical facilities and surgeons. These procedures are designed to help you return to a healthy weight and reduce your risk of developing secondary health issues. All of our facilities offer a variety of procedures. Which procedure you choose will be a combination of what you want and what your surgeon recommends. As with all surgeries, you will need to be evaluated by our partner physicians to assess your current health. They will determine the best procedure for your particular circumstances. Once you’ve been cleared for surgery, the surgical team will help you prepare for one of these procedures.
Effective Weight Loss Procedures
The Sleeve Gastrectomy, or Gastric Sleeve surgery, is a restrictive procedure performed on the stomach which consists of making the stomach into a long tube, or “sleeve”, by removing two-thirds of the stomach.
In a Gastric Bypass, a small pouch is segmented off from the remaining stomach tissue, creating a new stomach roughly the size of a golf ball. The middle section of the small intestines is then rerouted to the newly created pouch, bypassing the stomach and duodenum.
The Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery (MGB) is very similar to the traditional RNY bypass. The difference is that only one connection is made to the small intestine (instead of 2). The Mini Gastric Bypass creates a narrow tube-like pouch that holds approximately 1-2 ounces.
For a large number of our patients, their initial bariatric surgery produces lasting outcomes. They also receive beneficial lifestyle changes they are seeking. However, for some weight-loss revision or conversion surgeries may be required to fully meet their goals.
