Procedure Information
Gastric Sleeve▼
Gastric Sleeve surgery is a weight loss procedure where 75% - 80% of the stomach is permanently removed, creating a smaller, banana-shaped stomach pouch. This reduction in stomach size limits food intake and induces a feeling of fullness with smaller meals. No foreign material is implanted in the body.
Gastric Balloons▼
The Gastric Orbera Balloon is a 12-month, non-surgical weight loss option involving the placement of a soft silicone balloon in the stomach via a catheter inserted through the mouth, creating a feeling of fullness and aiding in portion control. The balloon stays in place for 10 to 12 months upon which it is removed via the same method of insertion.
Gastric Bypass▼
Gastric Bypass is a weight loss surgery that involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the digestive tract to bypass a portion of the small intestine. This procedure promotes weight loss by restricting food intake and altering nutrient absorption.
Allurion Balloon▼
The Allurion Balloon involves swallowing a capsule that contains the balloon attached to a thin tube. Once in your stomach, your doctor uses the tube to fill the balloon with liquid. With the balloon in place, you will feel fuller faster and for longer while eating less. At approximately 16 weeks, the balloon self-empties and passes naturally.
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band▼
The Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band is a minimally invasive procedure where a silicone band is placed around the upper stomach, creating a smaller pouch to limit food intake. The intake allowance of this band can be easily modified by your doctor over the course of its lifetime.
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty▼
The Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure that uses an endoscopic suturing device to reduce the stomach's size and volume by about 70%. When your stomach holds less volume, you can feel full with less food, absorb fewer calories and lose weight over time. ESG also shortens and re-shapes the stomach, which helps it empty into the intestines slower.
Patient Testimonials
“Even from just 4 weeks post-surgery, I had already lost a huge amount of weight and was feeling so much better in myself. Now, good habits and mindful eating are second nature to me. WLSA has had such an incredible positive impact on my life!”
“The surgery decision is just the first step. The right mindset, new behaviors and connecting with the WSLA staff have all been key. I have so much more energy to funnel into work and the things that are important to me.”
“I'm so proud of how far I've come. Seeing the 'before' photos now feels a bit crazy, but I'll never be ashamed of my before photo, because that person was strong enough to take this life changing step”
