About the newest most popular surgery, Gastric Sleeve

Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is quickly becoming the most popular weight loss surgery in Louisiana and Mississippi. This minimally invasive, laparoscopic, procedure takes only one hour to perform and offers patients a quick recovery time. The gastric sleeve is a restrictive procedure; it limits the amount of food you can eat but doesn't significantly alter the anatomy or reroute the intestines. Most sleeve patients report that they feel less hungry throughout the day and feel full after eating only a small amount of food. Current research has shown excellent results. Patients can lose up to 64% of their excess weight within 12 months and see improvements in their weight related health conditions. The surgeons at The Surgical Specialists of Louisiana and The Surgical Specialists of Mississippi perform numerous procedures daily. Learn more about the sleeve gastrectomy »

About the surgery without incisions, the POSE procedure

POSE is a new weight loss procedure that shrinks the stomach without any cuts to the abdomen. The Surgical Specialists of Louisiana is one of only a few select sites in the country to perform this procedure. Using a small flexible endoscope – a video camera that allows the surgeon to see the stomach on a nearby monitor – the surgeon uses special instruments to shrink the size and capacity of the stomach without making a single incision. Most POSE patients report feeling satisfied with less food and are less hungry between meals. Many patients also report that POSE surgery has encouraged them to make healthier choices and become more active. POSE may be the ideal solution for people who have not had success with diet and exercise but do not want to undergo a laparoscopic procedure. Learn more about the POSE procedure »
