Dr. Mahbod Mark Paya, M.D. is the director and founder of SurgiThin (California Surgical Weight Loss Center) in West Hills, CA.

The greatest advantage of the Lap Sleeve is the fact that it does not involve any bypass of the intestinal tract. Lap Sleeve is a suitable form of surgery for patients who are already suffering from anemia, Crohnʼs Disease, cirrhosis and a variety of other conditions that would place them at high risk for surgery involving intestinal bypass. Many of the above conditions would also exclude a patient from getting the lapband hollywood as well as the Gastric Bypass. However in most cases the Lap SLeeve is still an option. The weight loss obtained from Lap Sleeve is excellent and in most cases significantly more than the Lap Band. Many patients in hollywood, CA who have not succeeded with Lap Band are being converted to Lap Sleeve - with much success.

Laparoscopic gastric banding (gastric banding) commonly referred to as Lap Band is another form of restrictive weight loss surgery hollywood that helps patients to slowly decrease their weight by decreasing the amount of food that the stomach can hold at a given time. Gastric banding involves the surgeon placing a silicone band around the upper portion of the stomach creating a small 15-22 cc gastric pouch above the lap band. The band which is accessed through a port placed over the abdominal wall muscle is filled or emptied with saline solution to allow for greater restriction or less restriction as necessary. Patients who undergo gastric banding surgery generally experience slower initial weight loss than those who undergo gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy hollywood. However, long term weight loss results in some studies have shown similar results. The advantage of this surgery is that there is no cutting or stapling of the stomach or the small bowel and it can completely be reversed by removing the band.

This new smaller stomach is connected directly to the middle portion of the small intestine (jejunum), bypassing the rest of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine (duodenum). Studies have shown that gastric bypass hollywood resolved Type 2 diabetes in 83.8% of patients and often the disease was resolved within days of surgery. It also showed that high blood pressure was resolved in 75% of the patients and 95% showed improvement in their cholesterol levels.
 
Please note gastric bypass remains the gold standard weight loss surgery. We have had many patients in Hollywood, CA with morbid obesity and diabetes who have undergone gastric bypass and within one week their diabetes has resolved. Gastric bypass is being performed as a metabolic surgery to cure diabetes on patients who are not obese outside of United States. Gastric bypass causes a faster weight loss compared to other surgeries. The weight loss in the first year is very impressive. Below are some of the advantages of gastric bypass.
