    Are You Considering Weight Loss Surgery?

    At California Pacific, we understand that the decision to have bariatric surgery can be difficult. In 2005 we received Center of Excellence designation from the American Society for Bariatric Surgery (ASBS). For our patients this means that we have shown that our surgical complications are very low. However, all surgeries, even the most routine surgical procedures, carry some risk.

    Weight Loss Surgery

    Bariatric surgery, also known as "weight-loss" surgery, is designed to help severely overweight individuals lose weight, achieve better health, and enhance their quality of life. Morbid Obesity has reached almost epidemic proportions in the United States, with nearly 11 million persons suffering from its debilitating effects.

    Weight Loss Surgical Options

    We offer four weight-loss surgical options. Most surgeries are performed using minimally-invasive techniques.

    • LAP-BAND® (LAGB)
    • Vertical Gastrectomy (VG)
    • Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass (RNY, RGB)
    • Vertical Gastrectomy with Doudenal Switch (DS)
