The Bariatric Center at Celebration Health offers the two most commonly performed weight loss surgeries: the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), and the Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band (LAGB). Our Center has teamed with the surgeons of US Bariatric, who bring their surgical expertise and combined experience of over 5000 weight loss surgeries. Additionally, our surgeons are actively involved in lecturing and teaching in various bariatric courses and seminars and are actively involved in the American Society of Bariatric Surgery (ASBS)

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

• new stomach pouch created by dividing the top portion of the stomach from the rest of the stomach
• new stomach pouch connected directly to the small intestine
• majority of the stomach and first portion of the small intestine bypassed
• average weight loss of greater than 60% of excess body weight at 5 years
• results in resolution or improvement of most of the obesity-related comorbidities
• performed laparoscopically in most cases

Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band
