Pablo Garcia, MD · Answer

hello. thanks for the question. The  sleeve gastrectomy is an excellent procedure in fact has similar results to gastric bypass in terms of weight loss, less need for nutritional supplementation, however for patients sweet lovers maybe  not  be the best option, in Latin America sleeve gastrectomy  is one of the preferred surgeries, and I think would be an excellent option for you

Shawn Garber, MD, FACS, FASMBS · Answer

At The New York Bariatric Group we offer the Lap-Band, sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric bypass. The single incision virtually scarless sleeve gastrectomy is currently the most common procedure we perform. You would most likely be a great candidate.  I recommend you come in for consultation or register for a free seminar to learn about all of the surgical options.
