Weight-Loss Surgery Options

Severely overweight patients are not all alike. However they know that obesity is unhealthy and can be as dangerous as any other disease.

Very few individuals are able to stay with the rigors of dietary reduction for years on end. Weight loss surgery is the only proven successful method for long term weight loss. Studies show that serious health problems (for example, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, coronary heart disease,  and other comorbidities) are often improved and even resolved following weight loss surgery. Dr. Owens and the CoastalCenterfor Obesity program have cared for more than 5,000 patients since 1987. Dr. Owens and staff will help you to find the right surgical solution to meet your needs:

	Gastric Bypass
	Safe, significant, and permanent weight-loss.
	LAP-BAND®
	The most adjustable and least invasive option.
	Sleeve Gastroplasty
	Restricts food intake without the bypass of the intestines.
	Revision Surgery
	A safety net, to assure weight-loss success.
	Plastic Surgery
	Physical adjustments after weight-loss surgery including tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and body lift.
