Our Most Sought After BARIATRIC SURGICAL SERVICES
Gastric Sleeve Surgery

  • Is a restrictive bariatric surgery that significantly reduces the size of your stomach and your appetite to encourage weight loss.
  • It is a restrictive surgery that also limits the production of ghrelin, which contributes to a reduction in appetite.
  • Patients with a body mass index (BMI) over 40, or with a BMI over 35 with serious weight-related health conditions, can be candidates for a gastric sleeve procedure.

Gastric Bypass Surgery

  • The stomach is reduced and connected to a distal part of the intestine. A smaller stomach is able to hold less food
  • By rerouting the stomach, gastric bypass limits calorie absorption, resulting in rapid weight loss.
  • This surgery can help you lose a significant amount of weight, approximately 85% of your excess weight, and establish positive long-term dietary habits
  • This procedure is beneficial for obese patients that also have diabetes and whose efforts to lose weight with diet and exercise alone have proved unsuccessful.
  • The candidates for this procedure include patients who are morbidly obese with a BMI over 40 or who are struggling with health conditions such as diabetes, sleep apnea, and hypertension.

Patient stories

Cindy Haskins

Cindy’s life before surgery was a constant struggle. Food was the enemy, exercise was hard, and everyday tasks became a challenge. I’d done every diet, tried every “as seen on TV” exercise tool, but even if I lost the weight, it would come back plus a few pounds. This cycle made me constantly discouraged and depressed, always self-conscious. I have better self-image, and I live a far healthier lifestyle. Life is supposed to be fun! Though I had reservations and emotional highs and lows, I would not change it for anything. I recommend it to everybody—you don’t need to struggle with your weight. It really is life changing.

“I only regret not doing it sooner”

Patient stories

Brian Forsyth

At my heaviest, I was 321 pounds. I was sluggish, it was hard to move, and getting motivation was really difficult. My back hurt, my knees hurt, my ankles hurt—I was very uncomfortable all the time. My self-esteem was really low. I always felt like people were staring at me, talking about me, making fun of me. I’m down to 205 pounds; I look great and I feel great. I have tons of energy, and every day is like a new experience.

LIMARP has been amazing. Even going for surgery was a terrific experience. The facilities are phenomenal; the clinic is clean and the staff is kind. When I got there, they were waiting on the stairs to welcome me.

Patient stories

Carly Schell

I was overweight since childhood. It runs in my family. Luckily it never kept me from doing sports, being involved in actives or having a social life. It was more of a private insecurity. I’m the typical bubbly, funny, laugh-about-anything personality, so no one really knew my weight bothered me. But there I was, 33, married with two kids, 5’4”, and 268 pounds. I was starting to feel it. I lacked energy. My feet hurt. As a hairstylist I stand all day.

I tried it all. Then I found out about LIMARP. I read about it, called, and the next thing I knew, I was booked to have surgery within a month! I had no second thoughts. I knew this was a permanent decision, and I was ready for a life change. I’ve lost 85 pounds since surgery a year ago and have still another 25 to go to reach my personal goal.
