Gastric Sleeve (VSG) surgery is a restrictive procedure, which means that it will limit the amount of food that a patient is able to intake, as it removes about 80% of the stomach. Best for patients with 30+ BMI and with an increased risk of heart disease, Type II diabetes, etc.
The Roux-en-Y (Gastric Bypass) is considered the 'gold standard' of weight loss surgery, performed on patients with 35+ BMI, and especially in the "sweet eater" group, due to the malabsorptive mechanism that is produced.The Omega Loop (Mini Gastric Bypass) is more effective, safer and easier than the Roux-en-Y procedure as there is only one anastamosis, compared to the gastric bypass having two; an upper and a lower.

So glad that I chose WLG! Had my sleeve done on December 29,2015. I have had no complications. I was scared before the surgery because I've never had major surgery before. Dr Maytorena and his staff are amazing. I wanted to get healthy to see my grand son grow up. I had high blood pressure, pre diabetic, and a fatty liver. My hypothyroidism always made it hard for me to loose weight. I down 40 pounds and I feel amazing!! Thank you Dr. Maytorena for giving me my life back!

Dr. Green helped me get the revision i needed. I had the lapband for 10 yrs and it just wasnt working. He and his staff helped me get my insurance to approve my surgery. After almost a week since surgery i have lost 12lbs, my joint pain is gone, and my hands and feet haven't swollen. I thank them all so much. Thankyou WLG!
