Gastric Sleeve Surgery
For those who are morbidly obese and have already tried with no success to lose excess pounds with old-fashioned diet and/or exercise, it is easy to lose hope. Matters are even worse if the excess weight is linked to unhealthy medical conditions such as asthma, sleep apnea, diabetes, high blood pressure/cholesterol, or acid reflux. Fortunately, you may still have a highly effective treatment available to you. Dr. Joseph Naim provides sleeve gastrectomy in his Long Beach location as well as his other four offices throughout Los Angeles and Orange County. This is an advanced Weight loss surgery Los Angeles that has led to remarkable results for many obese patients–even some who had believed that they had no effective options left to them.
A sleeve gastrectomy procedure carried out by Dr. Naim involves removing around 80 percent of the patient`s stomach. After the surgery, the stomach will now have a vertical sleeve-like look, and it will have a capacity of approximately 100-150 milliliters. Most of the time, the patient will be able to feel “full” much earlier while eating, which means that they end up consuming far fewer calories. Dr. Naim carries out more sleeve gastrectomies than any other kind of gastric sleeve Surgery procedure. The procedure also has a greater success rate than all other types of weight-reduction surgery.
Lap-Band® Surgery Clinic
If you face a daily struggle due to obesity, you are just one of millions of Americans that should consider getting the LAP-BAND® to help with the chronic physical discomfort and self-consciousness brought on by excessive weight. Those concerned with how obesity will impact their health should contact Dr. Joseph Naim, a bariatric surgeon providing the LAP-BAND® surgery to Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Orange County residents. The procedure is designed to actually reduce the amount that your stomach can hold, making it easier to feel full and ultimately leading to natural, effortless weight loss.
Due to its use of laparoscopes (thin, long tubes inserted through very small incisions in the abdomen), the LAP-BAND® surgery is minimally invasive and doesn`t involve stapling procedures. Dr. Naim begins by placing a hollow tube around the stomach`s upper portion. Once healed, the band is then filled with a saline solution meant to taper down the upper portion of the stomach, forcing food to pass through your system more slowly. This ultimately shrinks your stomach, which means that with time you`ll begin to feel full after eating much less. Patients have reported a preference for the Lap Band Los Angeles procedure over other forms of bariatric surgery due to the fact that it`s reversible and does not require the removal of any portion of the stomach or intestines.
