Weight loss surgery
Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is performed on patients with obesity. There are several types of bariatric procedures, but all focus on making modifications to the digestive system with the goal of significant weight loss.

Non-surgical weight-loss procedures
We also provide non-surgical gastric balloon procedures for patients who do not qualify for, or do not want to undergo, surgery. This procedure involves placing either one or two balloons in the patient's stomach and then filling them with a saline solution.
When filled with saline, the balloons help you lose weight by taking up room in your stomach. The balloons can stay in your stomach up to six months.
