Often those who undergo surgery are facing real health
issues because of their obesity.

● Gastric Band restricts overeating and is easily removable ● Gastric Sleeve/Stomach Sleeve – removal of up to 90% of the stomach reduces
hunger and provides portion control ● Gastric Bypass – sectioning of the stomach and bypassing of food flow which not
only provides hunger and portion control , but can cure diabetes in many patients.
How does it work? Weight loss surgery aims to reduce body fat. The main way to do this is to a) reduce food intake ability and b) maximize the body's ability to process nutrients. Which of the three stomach surgery options listed above a person chooses much depends on their
individual need and preference, to some degree on their natural willpower too.
