Colorado Bariatric Surgery Procedures

Weight loss surgery patients routinely lose 100-200 pounds and are healthier, more active, and need fewer medications than they did before weight loss surgery. Bariatric surgery is even effective at curing type II diabetes. The BMCC is a certified ASMBS comprehensive MBSAQIP center in Colorado. The BMCC serves patients from the Denver metro area, including Parker, Centennial, Englewood, Aurora, Arvada, and Golden; and throughout Colorado. We offer three powerful bariatric surgical procedures:

.fa-secondary{opacity:.4}

Gastric Bypass

The gastric bypass is the gold standard of weight loss surgery. The roux-en-y gastric bypass shrinks the size of your stomach and bypasses some of your small intestine to decrease caloric absorption. Most of our patients lose 65-90% of their excess body weight.

Gastric Sleeve

The sleeve gastrectomy changes the size and shape of your stomach to limit the amount of food that can be eaten at one time. Most of our patients lose 60-80% of their excess body weight.

Duodenal Switch

Loop duodenal switch surgery (SADI-S or SIPS) removes most of your stomach and bypasses part of your small intestine so that you absorb fewer calories. Most of our bariatric patients lose 80-100% of their excess body weight.

Robotic Bariatric Surgery

Dr. Long has advanced robotic, laparoscopic, and endoscopic bariatric fellowship training. During our consultation we will compare which options represent the safest and most effective choice for your long-term weight loss.

Revisional Bariatric Surgery

Revisional bariatric surgery may be needed if you have a LAP-BAND or have been derailed in your journey resulting in weight regain. Discover what your revision options may be.

Lap-Band Surgery

Due to concerns over long-term safety and effectiveness, the LAP BAND (adjustable gastric band) is no longer a currently recommended bariatric surgical option. For information on better surgical weight loss options, please contact the BMCC today to schedule a consult with your bariatric team.
