What Is Surgical Weight Loss?

Surgical weight loss refers to medical procedures that help patients lose weight and improve overall health by reducing stomach size or changing the way food is digested. These procedures are performed by experienced bariatric surgeons and supported by a multidisciplinary team that includes dietitians, behaviorists, and exercise specialists. If you’re searching for surgical weight loss, Grand Health Partners offers advanced procedures and lifelong support to help you succeed with clarity, safety, and compassion.

What Is Surgical Weight Loss

Why People Choose Surgical Weight Loss

Surgical Weight Loss info

Many individuals consider surgical weight loss after trying multiple other weight-loss methods like diets, medications, or fitness programs, without lasting results. Surgical weight loss can provide:

  • Significant and sustained weight loss over time
  • Improvement in related health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea
  • Enhanced energy, mobility, and quality of life

Every patient’s journey is unique, and our goal is to provide the safest, most effective solution for your health and goals.

Surgical Weight Loss Options

We offer a variety of surgical weight loss options tailored to each patient’s needs. Every procedure is selected after a thorough medical evaluation and personalized consultation.

Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy)

This is one of the most common and effective procedures for long-term weight loss. During surgery, a portion of the stomach is removed to reduce its size, helping you feel full sooner and eat smaller portions.
The sleeve procedure can decrease hunger hormones and support meaningful, sustained results under medical supervision.

Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)

Gastric bypass surgery involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting a section of the small intestine to reduce calorie absorption.
This approach has been performed safely for decades and remains one of the most established surgical weight loss procedures available.

Duodenal Switch 

The duodenal switch combines restriction and nutrient-absorption changes for powerful metabolic improvement. It is often recommended for patients seeking greater weight-loss potential or help managing obesity-related diseases.

These procedures are offered at Grand Health Partners by highly experienced bariatric surgeons following a complete evaluation to determine if they are the right fit for your goals.

SADI-S

SADI-S combines a sleeve gastrectomy with a simplified intestinal bypass to enhance weight loss and metabolic improvement. It can be an option for patients needing greater long-term results or those seeking revision after a previous sleeve. This procedure reduces calorie absorption while supporting meaningful, sustained outcomes.

How to Choose the Best Surgical Procedure for Weight Loss

Choosing the best surgical procedure for weight loss depends on several personal factors, including:

  • Current health conditions and medical history
  • Weight-loss goals and expectations
  • Recovery time and comfort level
  • Long-term lifestyle and nutrition commitments

There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Our team at Grand Health Partners will guide you through your options, explain each step clearly, and help you make an informed decision with confidence.
