At Lalezari Surgical in Los Angeles, we specialize in a variety of surgical weight loss options tailored to meet the individual needs of our patients. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Sepehr Lalezari, our clinic offers advanced bariatric procedures designed to help you achieve and maintain significant weight loss, improve your health, and enhance your quality of life.
Our Surgical Weight Loss Procedures
Our comprehensive range of surgical weight loss options includes:
- Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve)
This procedure involves removing approximately 80% of the stomach, resulting in a tube-like structure. The reduced stomach size helps limit food intake and decreases hunger by reducing the hormone ghrelin.
- Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)
One of the most commonly performed bariatric surgeries, this procedure involves creating a small stomach pouch and bypassing a portion of the small intestine. This not only restricts food intake but also reduces calorie absorption, promoting significant weight loss.
- Adjustable Gastric Banding (Lap-Band)
Involves placing an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach to create a small pouch and a narrow passage to the rest of the stomach. This mechanism restricts food intake by making the patient feel full with smaller amounts of food.
- SADI-S
The Single Anastomosis Duodenal-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy combines elements of the sleeve gastrectomy and the duodenal switch. It involves creating a sleeve gastrectomy first and then bypassing a portion of the small intestine, which reduces calorie and nutrient absorption, enhancing weight loss outcomes.
- Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS)
This complex procedure combines a sleeve gastrectomy with an intestinal bypass. It significantly restricts food intake and reduces the absorption of calories and nutrients, making it highly effective for long-term weight loss.
- Mini-Gastric Bypass (One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass)
This procedure involves creating a long, narrow gastric pouch and connecting it directly to the small intestine. It reduces stomach size and bypasses a portion of the small intestine, leading to decreased calorie absorption and significant weight loss.
