Expertise in Bariatric Surgery
Dr. Apel has years of experience performing a wide range of bariatric procedures, including gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, and gastric banding. He understands that weight loss is a complex journey, and he takes a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to help patients achieve lasting results.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass is a surgical procedure that helps patients lose weight by creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine. This limits the amount of food that can be consumed, leading to weight loss. Dr. Apel is experienced in performing gastric bypass surgery and works closely with patients to determine if this procedure is the right option for them.
Gastric Sleeve
Gastric sleeve, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, involves removing a portion of the stomach to create a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This restricts the amount of food that can be consumed and promotes weight loss. Dr. Apel has expertise in performing gastric sleeve surgery and assists patients in understanding the potential benefits and risks associated with the procedure.
Gastric Banding
Gastric banding, often referred to as lap band surgery, involves placing an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach to create a smaller stomach pouch. This restricts the amount of food that can be consumed and promotes weight loss. Dr. Apel is skilled in performing gastric banding procedures and provides patients with comprehensive pre- and post-operative care.
