Our Procedures

LAP-Band Surgery
An adjustable gastric band reduces your stomach capacity so that you feel full faster and eat less.
REALIZE Band
The REALIZE® Band is gently secured around your stomach, then cinches around it to create a small pouch at the top of the stomach. The pouch is connected by a very small opening to the lower stomach, so it fills up quickly, usually after you eat about half a cup of food. Once the pouch is full, it sends a signal to your brain that leaves you feeling satisfied after eating just a small portion
Revision Bariatric Surgery
If you have previously had weight loss surgery, but have since gained weight again or have experienced complications, Dr. Dahiya also performs revision bariatric surgery.
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric bypass surgery performed using very small incisions and a tiny video camera to reduce recovery time.
Gastric Roux-en-Y
The most commonly performed type of gastric bypass surgery, Roux-en-Y connects the small intestine to a small stomach pouch, which gives a rapid feeling of fullness after eating just a small amount of food.
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Uses the laparoscopic (small incision) technique to reduce the size of the stomach by about 85%.
da Vinci Surgery
An alternative to the LAP-BAND® used around the world for over twenty years.
