Weight Loss Surgery at Kettering Medical Center and Kettering Medical Center-Sycamore is pleased to offer a variety of weight loss surgery options. There are three main types of weight loss surgery and each affects the body’s use of food and intake capacity differently. The most straightforward surgeries are called “restrictive,” because they limit the amount of food a patient can eat. Another main approach is called “malabsorptive” because it causes fewer calories to be absorbed.

Our surgeons are known for their success with both laparoscopic and traditional surgeries. This allows us great flexibility to provide exactly the right solution for each patient. To learn more about specific procedures, please click on the links below.
