There are several effective operations for obesity. Our goal is to help you find the surgery that is best for you. We educate patients about the pros/cons and risk/benefits of each surgery and, in most cases, let the patients choose. However, for a few patients, particularly those who are at a higher risk for surgical complications, one surgery may be recommended over another.

At Oregon Weight Loss Surgery, LLC (OWLS) we usually perform “restrictive” procedures. These procedures reduce that amount of food your stomach can hold. Patients eat smaller meals, which allow them to lose weight. There are three primary restrictive procedures: laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. As a secondary surgery to the Gastric bypass, OWLS offers the StomaphyX® procedure.
