Weight Loss Surgery in Ft. Myers, Florida

If you’re obese and have struggled unsuccessfully to lose weight, you may be a candidate for weight loss surgery. GI Surgical Specialists offers several options for weight loss surgery in Ft. Myers, including:

Gastric Bypass. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass has been performed worldwide for over 50 years. It generally takes under two hours to perform. The procedure consists of making a small stomach referred to as the gastric pouch. The small intestine is rerouted, diverting food past the majority of the stomach and a small portion of the small intestine.
Sleeve gastrectomy. This weight loss surgery is also known as the gastric sleeve procedure and reshapes the stomach into a much smaller tube to limit the amount of food you can eat. Like LAP-BAND, sleeve gastrectomy helps you feel full faster to help you lose weight. Minimally invasive sleeve gastrectomy in Ft. Myers will reduce your risk of infection and not require any medical devices in your body.

It is an outpatient procedure that offers significant weight loss results with lower risks of complications and shorter recovery time.
