What is Gastric Sleeve Surgery at Obesity Free, and how does it work for weight loss?

• Mechanism of Action: This procedure helps you lose weight by limiting the amount of food you can consume and by reducing the production of hunger-inducing hormones. By making your stomach much smaller, you feel full more quickly and with less food, which naturally leads to a reduction in calorie intake. This permanent alteration of the stomach promotes rapid and sustained weight loss, offering a highly effective solution for individuals struggling with morbid obesity.

What are the benefits of choosing Lap Band Surgery at Obesity Free?

• Advantages of Lap Band: Introduced globally as a popular bariatric solution, the Lap Band creates a smaller stomach pouch that fills sooner and empties at a slower rate, promoting prolonged satiety.

This reversible and adjustable nature provides flexibility in managing your weight loss journey.
