Obesity Surgery
SILS: The Next generation in minimally invasive surgery is here!
Weight loss made easier.
Single incision gastric band surgery with less pain, little or no scarring,
since there is no need to cut through the stomach muscle, recovery
is much shorter.
Single Incision Laparoscopic
Surgery (SILS)
Is an advanced minimally invasive approach
in which the surgeon operates exclusively
via a single entry point through the
"belly button"
Dr. Garber is one of the first
surgeons in the US to use this
approach for the Lap-Band® and
REALIZE bands®
Dr. Garber and Dr. Holover are on the forefront of this new technology and looking at ways to apply this technology to maybe one day perform a bariatric surgical procedure completely endoscopically with no incisions at all.
Another minimally invasive surgical option is placement of a laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (Lap-Band® or Realize band®) over your existing gastric bypass. The procedures is done laparoscopically with a very fast recovery. The band is placed around the proximal portion of your stomach pouch and attached to a port buried underneath the skin and fat of your abdominal wall. The port can by accessed in the office and the band can be adjusted at anytime with a very simple, quick office procedure. This procedure recreates the early satiety or sensation of feeling full after very small meals. The nice thing about the banding procedure is that we can continually adjust the band long term to help maintain your weight loss. We are one of the only bariatric surgery practices in the NY area to offer this revisional procedure with excellent results
