Roux-en-Y Surgery: Reclaim Your Life

Roux-en-Y, also known as gastric bypass surgery, is a proven and effective weight loss solution offered at Anchorage Bariatrics. This procedure involves creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach and rerouting the digestive system to bypass a portion of the small intestine. Benefits include significant weight loss results, long-term weight maintenance, and an overall improvement in health. Best of all, gastric bypass is covered by Aetna, making it more accessible than ever.

Sleeve Gastrectomy: Popular Bariatric Surgery

Anchorage Bariatrics also provides sleeve gastrectomy, a minimally invasive procedure that has gained popularity in recent years. This procedure involves removing a large portion of the stomach to create a smaller tube or sleeve structure, which limits caloric intake. Benefits include improved quality of life, zero need for intestinal rerouting, and effective weight loss results. And because Aetna covers sleeve gastrectomy, it’s easy to get started.
