Bariatric Surgery
At East Georgia Regional Medical Center, we understand how challenging weight loss can be. We also know that it's never too late to take control. Our dedicated bariatric program offers proven solutions and compassionate support when traditional options haven't worked. Like other men and women we have helped, we are here to help you enjoy your own life-changing success.
East Georgia Regional Medical Center offers these procedures, any of which can be part of an effective weight loss solution:
Sleeve gastrectomy – removes a portion of the stomach, leaving a slender stomach 'sleeve.'
Gastric bypass – involves stapling an upper portion of the stomach to create a smaller stomach pouch and bypassing some of the small intestine.
Revision and Conversion Surgery
For a variety of reasons, bariatric weight loss surgery patients may experience the need for revisions, corrections or conversions of their original operation. Your surgeon can evaluate your situation and recommend appropriate treatment.
