Experience compassionate, expert care tailored to your weight loss journey with Family Health West Bariatric and GLP-1 Therapy Services. Our comprehensive approach combines advanced surgical options with innovative medication management, helping patients achieve lasting health improvements through personalized treatments that fit their unique needs.
For individuals struggling with obesity and related health issues such as diabetes or hypertension, bariatric surgery offers a proven, effective pathway to significant and sustained weight loss. Our surgical team at Family Health West specializes in:
Sleeve Gastrectomy: This procedure reduces the stomach size to limit food intake while preserving normal digestion. It is one of the most commonly performed bariatric surgeries worldwide and promotes appetite reduction and calorie control.
Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y): This surgery creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the intestines to decrease calorie absorption, aiding both significant weight loss and improvement in metabolic conditions.
Revisional Bariatric Surgery: For patients requiring adjustments or further treatment after previous surgeries, we offer expert revision options to optimize outcomes and address complications such as reflux or insufficient weight loss.
All procedures are performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic-assisted techniques to promote faster recovery, lessen pain, and reduce hospital stays.
In addition to surgical options, Family Health West provides access to GLP-1 receptor agonists—FDA-approved injectable medications designed to support weight loss by decreasing appetite and improving metabolic function. This therapy is ideal for patients who may not qualify for surgery or who prefer a non-surgical option.
Our multidisciplinary team closely monitors your progress, combining medication management with nutritional counseling and behavioral support to maximize health benefits and sustainability.
