Weight Loss Options
Are you struggling with your weight and wondering if you're a candidate for medically managed weight loss or weight loss surgery? If dieting and exercise just haven't worked, one of our weight loss options may be the solution. Medically managed weight loss is a non-invasive way to lose the pounds, but for some who do not want to commit to medications, weight loss surgery may be a good choice. In fact, when combined with a treatment plan, weight loss surgery is the most effective option to combat severe obesity and maintain long-term weight loss, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty is an "incisionless" weight loss procedure and works by limiting the amount of food that one can eat at one time. The procedure results in food passing more slowly into the small intestine. This results in the patient feeling full for a longer period of time despite eating much less. The procedure involves no incisions or scars and does not remove any of the stomach.
