Surgery Options
Dr. Srikanth performs all of the bariatric surgeries laparascopically and has extensive experience having performed over 1700 laparoscopic weight loss surgeries.
At the Center for Weight Loss Surgery we are committed to the tenet "Educate, Evaluate, and Empower".
Educate
We strongly believe that patients need to have options when it comes to bariatric surgery. Do your research and know the different surgeries available; the weight loss results possible with each type of surgery; the documented results for the particular surgeon/clinic; the impact on diabetes and other co-morbidites; and the risks and benefits of weight loss surgery for the treatment of obesity. We begin the process by providing our patients with information on the different types of weight loss surgeries at our free, detailed seminars.
Evaluate
“One type does not fit all” when it comes to the medical treatment of obesity through weight loss surgery. For example:
 |
Are you a diabetic? Which surgery has the best documented results for the remission of diabetes? |
|
Have you had a prior weight loss surgery and may need a revision? Which weight loss surgery options would work best for you? |
|
Based on your BMI, which weight loss surgery option would optimize your long term percent Excess Weight Loss (%EWL)? |
When you come in for your initial consult with Dr. Srikanth, both you and Dr. Srikanth will discuss the various surgery options and together you will choose the right type of surgery for you.
Empower
We believe each patient should be empowered with the right information and surgery options from an experienced surgeon. You are an individual and you have the right to have the surgical weight loss treatment that will help you meet you health goals so that you can enjoy"Healthy Living on the Lighter Side".
