San Diego Weight-Loss Surgeries
At Olde Del Mar Surgical
Gastric Sleeve
The gastric sleeve, or sleeve gastrectomy, is minimally invasive and involves the removal of a portion of the stomach. Patients typically experience much less hunger after our surgeons remove part of the stomach that produces ghrelin, a hormone that makes people feel constantly hungry.
Gastric Bypass
The gastric bypass, or Roux-en-Y bypass, is minimally invasive and results in both a smaller stomach and a rerouted portion of the intestines. This is a good option for patients who need to lose a lot of weight; who carry their fat centrally; or who have metabolic illnesses, such as type 2 diabetes.
SADI Duodenal Switch
What is SADI? SADI-S, or single anastomosis duodeno–ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy, is another option available to our patients who are trying to lose weight. It’s one of the reasons why so many patients struggling with obesity and obesity-related health problems.
Revisional Weight-Loss Surgery
Surgeons may advise this course of action in order to correct or improve upon a previous weight-loss surgery that has not produced results. Revisional surgery is complex; it takes into account medical, surgical, emotional, and social factors that affect weight and overall health. We are one of only a very small number of practices that specialize in revisional surgery.

A Focus on Patients, Results, and
Communication
For patients suffering from obesity and its associated health challenges, weight-loss surgery is an opportunity to improve both the quality and the quantity of life itself. We are experts in helping patients lose weight and overcome many of the health problems associated with obesity: diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and more.
Plus, our complication rate of 1% is well below the national rate of 5%. This positions Olde Del Mar Surgical as a far better choice for weight-loss surgery in San Diego than other clinics both near and far.
Among other benefits, minimally invasive surgery is a surgical procedure that allows for shorter hospital stays than traditional open surgery. Much more important than limiting food intake is the dramatic changes in patients’ metabolic and hunger hormones as a direct result of the surgery. This is truly the “secret sauce” behind surgery and the reason why the success of surgery cannot be replicated by simply “going on a diet.”
With our patient’s wellbeing at the forefront of every decision we make regarding their care, we offer a full spectrum of weight-loss surgeries in San Diego.
