Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery Procedures Offered

Robotic-Assisted Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery: Here’s Your High-Tech Advantage

If you’re considering weight loss surgery, you want a trusted resource that guides you to the best option for your unique situation.

Robotic-assisted bariatric surgery with the da Vinci SI Surgical System offers many benefits:

• Reduced pain. Patients with robotic-assisted surgery report much less pain than surgery using traditional methods.
• Faster recovery. Patients have a shorter hospital stay and are generally back to work in a much shorter time.
• Fewer risks. Patients experience less risk of infection and hernia.
• Better access. Surgeons have better access to hard-to-reach areas in the abdomen and can offer more precise incisions and sutures.

Not every person is a candidate for robotic-assisted bariatric weight loss surgery, but if you are, get ready to enjoy the many benefits of this technology.

Robotic-assisted gastric bypass restricts food intake and decreases the absorption of food and nutrients to promote weight loss.  

The procedure involves creating a small pouch in the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine. Food absorption is reduced by redirecting food through this small pouch past the stomach, duodenum and upper part of the intestine.  

Gastric bypass is considered the gold standard in bariatric surgery. Keep in mind that lifelong vitamin and protein supplementation will be necessary for your nutrition.
