Bariatric Surgery San Jose, California

Are you struggling with your weight? Have you tried dieting and exercise, but to no avail? Then you may need bariatric surgery by Dr. Robert McKeen at South Bay Bariatrics in San Jose, CA. There you can receive the treatment you need from experienced professionals.

Dr. McKeen offers various effective surgeries to treat morbid obesity including LAP-BAND® placement, laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass via laparotomy. LAP-BAND® is a restrictive type of weight reducing surgery that creates a small stomach pouch. This limits the amount of food consumed and creates an early feeling of fullness. In the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, stapling creates a small (15 to 20cc) stomach pouch. The remainder of the stomach is not removed, but is completely stapled shut and divided from the stomach pouch.

Bariatric surgery, a form of obesity surgery, has become a major weapon in the fight against morbid obesity. Obesity results from the excessive accumulation of fat that exceeds the body's skeletal and physical standards. Morbid obesity may considerably reduce life expectancy and is associated with an increased risk of developing conditions or diseases (comorbid conditions) such as:
- Hypertension
- Degenerative Joint Disease
- GERD
- Diabetes
- Urinary Stress Incontinence
- Sleep Apnea
- Depression
- Arthritis
- Hypercholesterolemia
- Back pain
- Glucose intolerance
