UPMC Bariatric Services at UPMC Jameson

Types of Weight Loss Surgery We Offer

• Gastric bypass creates a small pouch that restricts how much food you can eat and how many calories you absorb. It's the most common type of weight loss surgery in the U.S. today.
• Gastric sleeve removes part of the stomach and makes a new stomach or "sleeve." The sleeve limits how much food you can eat and helps you feel full sooner. View FAQs for Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery (PDF).
