We help each patient choose the best bariatric solution for their needs.
Mid Ohio Surgical Associates specializes in two safe, effective bariatric surgical procedures: the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery and the LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding procedure.
Before surgery, each patient will undergo a thorough evaluation to determine eligibility for surgery. That evaluation will help our surgeons recommend the best treatment option for each patient’s unique needs.
LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding System
The benefits of this minimally invasive adjustable procedure includes decreased risk of complications, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery.
With the LAP-BAND system, a band is applied around the stomach to create a small gastric pouch and a calibrated opening to the rest of the stomach. This limits the amount of food the stomach will hold and controls the flow of food to the digestive tract.
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric bypass surgery is a permanent, established procedure that results in faster weight loss for patients.
The bypass procedure uses open, advanced laparoscopic and robotic techniques to make the stomach smaller and allow food to bypass part of the small intestine. As a result, patients feel full more quickly, and will eat less and consume fewer calories.
