Bariatric Surgery: More Than Weight Loss—A Life Transformed

Obesity is a chronic medical condition that affects every aspect of your life. It’s not just about your appearance—it’s about your energy levels, your mobility, your heart health, your breathing, and even your lifespan.

 

At Slim Surgical, our bariatric procedures are designed to help you achieve safe, sustainable weight loss, while also improving or resolving many obesity-related conditions such as:

 

• Type 2 Diabetes

• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

• Sleep Apnea

• Cholesterol Imbalances

• Joint Pain and Arthritis

• Fatty Liver Disease

• Infertility (especially due to PCOS)

• Heart Disease Risks

 

Many of our patients tell us that weight loss was just the beginning—what truly changed was their confidence, vitality, and sense of control over their lives.

 

Why Bariatric Surgery?

When diet and exercise alone haven’t worked, bariatric surgery offers an effective medical solution. Here’s how it helps:

 

• Limits food intake by reducing stomach size

• Changes hunger-regulating hormones, making it easier to feel full and satisfied

• Improves blood sugar control for those with or at risk of diabetes

• Boosts mobility and reduces joint strain, allowing for more activity and better health overall

 

Bariatric surgery isn’t a shortcut—it’s a reset button paired with ongoing lifestyle support. And at Slim Surgical, we’re with you every step of the way.

 

Who Should Consider Bariatric Surgery?

You may be a candidate if:

 

• Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 40 or higher

• Your BMI is 35 or higher with weight-related conditions like diabetes or sleep apnea

• You’ve attempted other weight loss methods without success

• You’re committed to making long-term changes for your health

 

Our team offers comprehensive assessments to determine the right surgical approach for your unique health goals.

 

Types of Weight Loss Surgery at Slim Surgical

Dr. Angela Kaza focuses on the safest and most effective weight loss procedures, performed with minimally invasive and robotic-assisted methods for faster healing and fewer complications.

 

Gastric Sleeve Surgery: A Proven Weight Loss Solution

One of the most widely performed bariatric procedures in the U.S., the gastric sleeve (or sleeve gastrectomy) removes approximately 80% of the stomach, turning it into a smaller, tube-like shape.

 

This not only reduces your food capacity but also dramatically decreases ghrelin, the hormone that triggers hunger—helping you eat less and feel satisfied with smaller portions.

 

Benefits of Gastric Sleeve Surgery:

• Rapid, healthy weight loss within 12–18 months

• Improved blood sugar and insulin sensitivity

• Less hunger and fewer cravings

• Minimally invasive with small incisions and low complication rates

• No intestinal rerouting or foreign objects (unlike gastric bypass or lap band)

 

Robotic-Assisted Precision

At Slim Surgical, Dr. Kaza uses robotic-assisted technology to enhance precision, minimize surgical trauma, and speed up recovery. Robotic systems allow for:

 

• Greater visualization of delicate structures

• Finer, steadier instrument control

• Fewer post-op complications

• Faster return to normal activities

 

With this technology, our patients often experience shorter hospital stays, less pain, and quicker healing times.

Hernia Surgery: Restore Comfort, Prevent Complications

A hernia occurs when an internal organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in your abdominal muscles. While some hernias may start off as painless or mild, they can quickly become dangerous if left untreated.

 

Dr. Angela Kaza specializes in minimally invasive hernia repairs, using both laparoscopic and robotic-assisted techniques to ensure the most effective, least disruptive care possible.

 

Types of Hernias We Treat:

• Inguinal hernias – located in the groin; most common in men

• Umbilical hernias – appear near the belly button

• Ventral hernias – occur in the abdominal wall

• Incisional hernias – develop at the site of a previous surgery

 

Why Early Treatment Matters

Untreated hernias can result in:

 

• Strangulation – where blood flow to the organ is cut off, leading to tissue death

• Bowel obstruction – causing severe digestive issues and pain

• Chronic pain and worsening bulges

• Emergency surgery risks that are more complicated than planned repairs

 

That’s why Slim Surgical prioritizes early diagnosis and surgical repair using the least invasive method appropriate.

 

Minimally Invasive Hernia Repair at Slim Surgical

Our advanced techniques allow for:

 

• Smaller incisions and minimal scarring

• Faster return to work and activity

• Reinforced abdominal wall using durable mesh

• Reduced risk of hernia recurrence

• Lower post-op pain levels

 

We tailor your procedure to the size, location, and complexity of your hernia, ensuring both relief and long-term strength.
