A Journey Towards Better Health
Here are the core procedures that Dr. Armenta performs:
Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Gastric Sleeve Surgery, or the "Sleeve Gastrectomy," is a tried-and-true weight loss solution. This procedure shrinks your stomach to control how much food you eat, helping you lose pounds. This transforms a part of your stomach into what doctors call a "sleeve" or tube, drastically reducing the space inside while keeping everything else working just as normal. Primarily for those with obesity, it's a tool to make strides toward long-lasting weight loss and avoid health-related issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
Benefits of Gastric Sleeve Surgery With Dr. Armenta:
- Significant and sustainable weight loss.
- Improvement in obesity-related health conditions.
- Minimally invasive surgical approach.
- Comprehensive follow-up care and support.
Gastric Balloon Surgery
Gastric Balloon Surgery is an innovative, non-surgical approach to weight loss, where a silicone balloon filled with saline solution is implanted in your stomach, helping cut down hunger hormones and food cravings. It's ideal for those making healthy eating habits a part of their life and prepping the journey towards weight management. Dr. Armenta has honed the skill of carrying out Gastric Balloon Surgeries with extreme precision and care. Patients are carefully guided through the entire process and receive ongoing support, helping them make the most of the surgery to reach their weight-loss goals.
