What is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery weight loss involves altering the digestive system to help patients achieve significant and sustained weight loss. The most common procedures we offer include gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, and duodenal switch. Each of these procedures is performed using minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic surgery, which reduces recovery time and minimizes potential risks.
- Gastric Bypass Surgery: This procedure creates a small stomach pouch and bypasses part of the small intestine, limiting calorie absorption and helping you feel full after smaller meals.
- Gastric Sleeve Surgery: In this procedure, a portion of the stomach is removed, reducing its size and limiting how much you can eat at once.
- Duodenal Switch: Combining elements of gastric sleeve and bypass, this surgery removes part of the stomach and reroutes the intestines to both reduce food intake and calorie absorption.
Benefits of Bariatric Surgery Weight Loss

Sleeve Gastrectomy
Gastric sleeve surgery is one of the newer treatment options for medical weight loss, and here at Beltline Health, we perform this procedure using minimally-invasive, robot-assisted technologies that are designed to help you feel better, faster.
Duodenal Switch
If you have a body mass index (BMI) of 50 or greater, you may be considering having duodenal switch surgery. This innovative weight loss procedure is used to treat patients who are classified as ‘super obese’ and at a high risk of developing other illnsses.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass surgery is widely considered to be the “gold standard” when it comes to medical weight loss procedures. It is now the most common type of bariatric surgery performed in the United States, and in addition to helping patients shed unwanted.
Revisions
Bariatric surgery requires a lifelong commitment to new eating habits and healthy lifestyle choices. We see patients who stop their regular check-ins with their dietitian and surgical team and, without these accountability partners, start to slip into bad habits.
Robotic Surgery
Robotic weight loss surgery is a minimally-invasive surgery option for bariatric patients. This surgery method allows surgeons a greater range of motion and to perform surgeries through smaller incisions. Overall, this surgery method leads to weight loss.

Depending on why you gained weight or why you have been unsuccessful in losing weight on your own, medication may be the right choice for you. Generally, this will be teamed with at least one of the other four pillars, as there is no magic pill that will help you lose weight and keep it off without other changes to your eating and activity habits.

You get the nutrition you need and remove the temptation of unhealthy food choices.
