What Is Bariatric Surgery?

Weight loss surgery, or bariatric surgery, helps people lose significant weight when other means haven't worked. The most common option, sleeve gastrectomy, removes about 75–80% of the stomach, creating a small tube that limits how much you can eat and helps you feel full sooner. This minimally invasive procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes by Dr. Sasse's hands.
Surgery resets the resting Metabolic Rate(Metabolism improvement) of patients . Most patients see substantial weight loss and improved health when combined with lasting lifestyle changes.

Bariatric surgery is a proven, life-changing solution for obesity and related conditions. Our team offers personalized care and advanced techniques to help you achieve lasting results.
