Types of Bariatric Surgery Procedures
Dr. Neil Floch and his team have expertise performing a wide range of bariatric surgery procedures as discussed herewith:
Gastric Sleeve: Dr. Floch and team are experts in gastric sleeve bariatric procedures in Norwalk, Stamford, and Darien. It is recommended only when the patient is not suitable for laparoscopic Roux-en Y gastric bypass surgery or laparoscopic adjustable gastric band procedure.
Gastric Bypass: This is one of the most widely-performed weight loss surgeries and Dr. Neil Floch has a proven track record of achieving a high success rate in this procedure. The process involves reducing the size of the stomach and bypassing the small intestine partially. This helps limit the amount of calorie intake. With Dr. Floch, the procedure can be performed laparoscopically with only 5-7 incisions.
Gastric Band: In this procedure, an adjustable silicone band is laparoscopically placed around the stomach’s top portion. This limits the amount of food the patient can eat, while also reducing your hunger pangs. Dr. Floch provides extensive support throughout the program and even after the surgery. He will continuously follow up with you for at least 5 years post-surgery.
Gastric Balloon: Dr. Neil Floch now offers FDA-approved, non-surgical gastric balloon procedures that aid in effective weight management. It is an endoscopic procedure that has been internationally accepted as a weight loss program for several years.
Revisional Bariatric Surgery: For even the 10% revision rate in bariatric surgery, Dr. Floch provides a high-quality revisional surgery procedure that lasts for a lifetime. He also provides nutritional and after-surgery support to ensure the revision lasts long.
