Finding the Right Weight Loss Surgery at Our Clinic
There is no single procedure that’s right for everyone. Factors such as your body mass index (BMI), existing medical conditions, previous surgeries, eating habits, and long-term goals all play an important role in determining which option may provide the best outcome.
During your consultation, our experienced surgeons will review your medical history, answer your questions, and explain the benefits and considerations of each procedure. Together, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan designed to help you achieve lasting success.
Gastric Bypass Surgery
One of the most established bariatric procedures available, gastric bypass surgery has helped countless individuals lose significant weight while improving obesity-related health conditions. It remains one of the most effective options for many patients seeking weight loss surgery in Utah and across the country. Gastric bypass works by creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting a portion of the small intestine, limiting both food intake and calorie absorption.
Learn more about our gastric bypass surgery procedure, what to expect, and whether it may be right for you.
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most commonly performed weight-loss surgeries today. During this procedure, approximately 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach that helps reduce hunger while limiting portion sizes.
Learn more about sleeve gastrectomy and how it can support long-term weight loss.
Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS)
The biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS), also known as the duodenal switch, combines a sleeve gastrectomy with an intestinal bypass to promote substantial weight loss and metabolic improvements. This procedure may be recommended for patients with severe obesity or certain obesity-related medical conditions.
Learn more about duodenal switch (BPD/DS) to understand how this procedure works and who may be a good candidate.
SADI-S Surgery
Single anastomosis Duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) is an advanced bariatric procedure that offers many of the metabolic benefits of a traditional duodenal switch with a simplified surgical approach. For carefully selected patients, SADI-S may provide excellent long-term weight loss and improvement in obesity-related health conditions.
Learn more about SADI-S surgery and whether this option may fit your needs.
Revision Bariatric Surgery
Not every patient’s weight loss journey follows the same path. If you’ve previously undergone bariatric surgery but experienced weight regain, complications, or inadequate results, revision surgery may be an appropriate solution.
Our fellowship-trained bariatric surgeons have extensive experience evaluating patients who may benefit from corrective or revisional procedures.
