  Gastric Bypass in St. Louis

  In a Gastric Bypass procedure, the stomach is sectioned off leaving a small pouch and the intestines are rerouted to redirect digestion. Patients lose significant weight because the stomach size is reduced and fewer calories are absorbed. Dr. Snow performs this procedure utilizing laparoscopic technique, which allows for less pain and a shorter recovery.

  Gastric Balloon in St. Louis

  The gastric balloon is a non-surgical procedure for patients who have tried to lose weight with diet and exercise or other popular means, but have either failed to lose the weight or perhaps failed to achieve lasting weight loss. The balloon is performed on an outpatient basis and requires no abdominal incisions. A soft silicone balloon is placed endoscopically for six months. While in place, it gives a feeling of fullness, allowing the patient to eat less and learn portion control.
