Bariatrics is the branch of medicine that deals with the causes, prevention, and treatment of obesity. One of the top Bariatric procedures offered at Durango Outpatient Surgery Center is Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery.
 
Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery is a type of weight loss surgery that involves removing a large portion of the stomach, typically about 80%. The smaller stomach is shaped like a sleeve and is about the size of a banana. This type of surgery is usually done laparoscopically, which means that a few small incisions are made in the abdomen and special instruments are used to remove the stomach tissue
 
Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery can be an effective weight loss tool for people who are morbidly obese, and it can help to improve or resolve many obesity-related health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, and joint pain. If you are considering Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery, the surgeons at Durango Outpatient Surgery Center would be happy to meet with you to discuss whether this type of surgery is right for you.
