DID YOU KNOW? According to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), bariatric surgery results in an average excess weight loss of 60–70% within 18–24 months, which is much more than the weight loss medication like Ozempic and Mounjaro. Additionally, it can reduce obesity-related mortality by up to 50% and cut the risk of type 2 diabetes by as much as 80%.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery: A Life-Changing Solution
If you’re considering losing 50, 100, or even 200+ pounds, gastric sleeve surgery may be your ideal solution. Dr. Davtyan performs this procedure laparoscopically — removing a portion of the stomach and creating a a new banana sized banana shaped “sleeve”of stomach which limits amount of food intake to limit food intake.
Benefits include:
- Significant and sustained weight loss
- Improved quality of life and confidence
- Resolution of obesity-related health issues, such as sleep apnea, diabetes, and hypertension
Dr. Davtyan and his team provide complete pre- and post-operative support, including nutritional counseling, exercise guidance, and long-term follow-up to ensure lasting success.
Why Dr. Davtyan Does Not Perform Gastric Bypass Surgery
While Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass as long been used to treat obesity, Dr. Davtyan prefers Sleeve Gastrectomy, because it can achieve the same results without the risks of complications and nutritional deficiencies of gastric bypass. For patients who had gastric bypass surgery and failed Dr. Davtyan offers gastric bypass revision or placement of a Lap Band over the failed gastric bypass to provide more weight loss.
