GASTRIC BYPASS
GASTRIC BYPASS
The gastric bypass is generally recommended for more dramatic weight loss than the gastric sleeve or the gastric band with great long-term results. A small stomach pouch is created and about 5 feet of intestine is bypassed so it no longer digests food. Not only do you eat less, you absorb less.

REVISIONAL WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY
REVISIONAL WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY
If you had weight loss surgery and never lost enough weight, or regained a good amount, a revision procedure could be an option. We can diagnose the problem and offer options to give you a second chance at weight loss. If the stomach pouch has stretched out, the Gastric Sleeve & Gastric Bypass can be made tighter, using a minimally invasive stomach folding technique that doesn't require any cutting. This is a usually a 45 minute procedure, and we've seen weight loss up to 65lbs using this technique. A Lap-Band can be removed and converted to a Sleeve or a Bypass. A Sleeve can be converted to a bypass. A bypass can have a lap-band placed on top for additional weight loss. We've seen up to an additional 100 lbs. weight loss with this technique. In other words, there are many options available to help those who need a touch up procedure to restart their weight loss journey.

WHY CHOOSE THE MEHTA BARIATRIC CENTER
EXPERTISE
Dr. Mehta has been performing laparoscopic weight loss surgeries for over 2 decades and has helped thousands of patients. With this extensive experience and number of cases, he, the surgical team and staff have fine tuned their craft.
PERSONALIZED CARE
The consultation, surgery, and follow-up visits are all done by Dr. Mehta. Surgeries are not handed off to other surgeons, fellows, residents, or students. This is often the case in large practices and University Hospitals.
STRONG DOCTOR-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP
Initial consultation, surgery and follow-ups are all done by Dr. Mehta.
DIRECT COMMUNICATION
Dr. Mehta can be reached 24/7. There is direct line of communication.
SHORT WEIGHT TIMES
TAILORED TREATMENT PLANS
People come in all different sizes and shapes, as well as having different goals. Surgeries and the follow-up plans can be modified for their needs. For example, the Gastric Sleeve can be made smaller or larger to get the right amount of weight off.
NO UN-NECESSARY TESTING
This is another big issue we see. Many practices send all their patients to see a litany of doctors, and undergo a battery of tests. While some testing may be suitable for some patients, not every test is needed for each patient.
NO BUREAUCRATIC DELAYS
LIFETIME FOLLOW-UP
We follow our bariatric surgery patients for life. Many have been with us for over 2 decades. This continuity of care allows us to help them stay on track long term, and is an important part of long term aftercare..
BODY CONTOURING AVAILABLE IF NEEDED
Dr. Mehta also does a great number of skin surgeries, and body contouring procedures. He's performed over a thousand such procedures and this vast experience has made him an expert as evidenced by his patients reviews and photo gallery. This type of body contouring experience is very unique to Dr. Mehta and not found with other bariatric surgeons.
