Learn what makes MUSC Health different from other bariatric surgery programs and why you should choose MUSC Health. MUSC Health's Weight Loss Surgery Program performs three primary weight loss operations for the treatment of obesity. We offer the non-surgical intragastric balloon procedure for patients who meet criteria. We perform revisions of previous procedures for complications or in some cases failure to lose weight or weight regain. The program currently offers the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, the Sleeve Gastrectomy, and the Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch. Below is an brief overview of each of these procedures. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery divides the stomach, creating a small gastric pouch which is reconnected to the small intestine creating restriction and less absorption. Sleeve gastrectomy is a restrictive procedure, similar to a partial gastrectomy, removing part of the stomach and leaving a long thin tube-shaped (sleeve) stomach. After a sleeve gastrectomy is created, the small intestine is divided and a connection is made near the bottom of the stomach, and near the end of the small intestine. The intragastric balloon is a non-surgical procedure where two saline-filled balloons are placed temporarily in the stomach.
Across campus, the MUSC Weight Management Center offers a wide range of non-surgical and research programs, for those individuals who decide that bariatric surgery is not for them. For families struggling to know if weight loss surgery is the right choice for your teen, we are here to help. We have been performing surgery on teens since the late 1990s, and our team of specialists has been working with adolescent surgery patients for years. Our team understands the struggle with excess weight and the associated health conditions like diabetes and sleep problems and the psychological and social effects that might prevent you from enjoying your life to the fullest. We know that the surgery itself is just part of your long term weight management plan, and we work with you balance out your support team with programs and services that complement surgery.
