Minimally Invasive Procedures
Surgical treatments for obesity are the most effective, and the modern techniques come with less risk than if the disease of obesity is allowed to run its course. Other obesity treatments become much more effective when combined with surgery, although often surgery is the only treatment needed.
Dr Brewer is an expert in every proven type of weight loss surgery. In addition to losing weight, these surgery options also cause profound metabolic improvements that lower cardiac risks, lower cancer risks, overcome diabetes, alleviate fatty liver disease, eliminate sleep apnea, and improve fertility. All options are available using advanced laparoscopic, minimally invasive techniques, performed through a few tiny incisions. By offering all options, Dr Brewer provides the full spectrum of help and will guide you in deciding which procedure is perfect for you.

Revision Bariatric Surgery
Laparoscopic revision surgeries correct previous procedures, or provide additional mechanisms to fight obesity. The need for a revision surgery is not a failure, it is just the next step to treat the disease. Revision surgeries include gastric band revisions, revisions to sleeve gastrectomy, revisions to gastric bypass, and revisions to vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG).
