Grateful to have spoken at SAGES 2026 Annual Meeting last month, where innovation meets intention.

Surgery is more than technique… it’s about restoring health, dignity, and life from the inside out.
Honored to do this work with both skill and soul.

If you think vitamins are optional after bariatric surgery… this is your wake-up call.

Surgery changes your anatomy permanently.
Which means your body doesn’t absorb nutrients the same—no matter how “healthy” you eat.

This isn’t optional. It’s medical and non-negotiable,

Skipping your vitamins can lead to real damage:
nerve issues, bone loss, hair loss, even heart complications.

The surgery is just the tool.
Your consistency is what protects your results.

Take your vitamins. Protect your body. Finish the process.

Not all weight loss surgeries are built the same… and that’s the point.

Think of it like this:
Some are reliable and steady.
Some bring more power for tougher conditions.
And some are built for maximum performance.

But here’s what matters most…
The “best” option isn’t the most extreme one, it’s the one that’s right for you.

Your health history.
Your goals.
Your life.

This isn’t a menu. It’s a medical decision.

The right surgery for the right patient at the right time… that’s where real results happen.

Not all weight loss surgeries work the same… and this one is one of the strongest tools we have.

The duodenal switch and SADI-S do two things:
Reduce your stomach
And reduce how much your body absorbs

Less hunger.
Less absorption.
More results.

But this isn’t for everyone.

It’s typically for patients who need more support
after a sleeve, with higher weight, or with type 2 diabetes.

The right tool matters.

If what you’ve tried hasn’t worked, it may be time for a different approach.

If you’ve been struggling with your weight and feel like nothing is working… you’re not alone.

Gastric bypass is designed to help your body work with you—by reducing portion size, changing how calories are absorbed, and improving hunger hormones.

For many patients, it’s life-changing.

The first step is understanding your options.

03/19/2026

Weight loss isn’t just about eating less. For many patients, it’s about finally working with their biology instead of against it.

The gastric sleeve changes more than stomach size. It helps reduce the hormones that drive constant hunger and cravings, making it easier to feel satisfied with less.

That’s why patients often say it’s not just physical restriction… it’s relief.

Less food noise.
More control.
A real chance at long-term change.

And beyond the scale, it can significantly improve conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.

If nothing has worked long-term, it may not be a discipline problem. Your body may simply need a different approach. 💛
