At Lancaster General Bariatrics, we realize that obesity is a very complex disease linked to many associated illnesses.Surgical intervention, along with our Healthy Weight Management Program, will provide you with individualized care that can maximize your chances for a successful long-term healthier living experience.At Lancaster General Bariatrics, we offer two weight loss surgery options: Roux en Y Gastric Bypass and Adjustable Gastric Band System.

The Roux en Y gastric bypass surgery makes the stomach smaller and allows food to bypass part of the small intestine. The result is a reduction in caloric intake and a more immediate sense of fullness after eating. The Adjustable Gastric Band System reduces the stomach’s capacity, restricting the amount of food that can be consumed at one time. The gastric band is placed around the upper portion of the stomach to create a smaller stomach that fills first, causing a sense of fullness.

If you are considering weight loss surgery we invite you to attend a free educational seminar in which Dr. Alan H. Brader will discuss the various weight loss surgery options provided by Lancaster General Bariatrics. Members of our Healthy Weight Management Program team will also be available to discuss weight management support.Following the seminar, you will have the opportunity to participate in a question-and-answer session and be given a health analysis questionnaire to be completed and returned to the Healthy Weight Management Program.For a reservation, please call 888-LGH-BWEL(2935).
