BARIATRIC SURGICAL OPTIONS

  • Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve/VSG) removes about 80% of the stomach to help you eat less and feel less hungry. Most patients lose about 60–70% of their extra weight.
  • Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass makes the stomach smaller and changes how food moves through the body. This helps you eat less, feel less hungry, and absorb fewer calories. Most patients lose about 80% of their extra weight.
  • Revisional Bariatric Surgery fixes or changes a past weight loss surgery. This may include changing a gastric sleeve to a gastric bypass for acid reflux (GERD) or weight regain, or removing a lap band and changing to a sleeve or bypass.

What Our Patients Are Saying

PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

Dr. Dovec literally saved my life! I struggled with obesity my entire life, and it was killing me. I found Dr. Dovec online and was so attracted to her dedication and engagement with her patients. I saw tons of pics of her patients, smiling, living their best life, and looking fabulous. I wanted that for myself. And I went for it. Check out MY pics! I can’t say enough about my experience - she has become like family. Seriously, if you’re considering bariatric surgery, forget the rest and go with the BEST!

Dr. Dovec is AMAZING. I was almost 400 pounds with so many issues like severe sleep apnea and advanced fatty liver disease. I felt ashamed that I could not control my weight. I was getting to the point that if I didn’t do something now, I was going to die. My family doctor referred me to Dr. Dovec for a consultation for bariatric surgery. I instantly felt so much love and energy and passion from her. Now, you can find me at the gym full of energy and living my best life. I would recommend her to anyone!

My husband underwent the Sleeve with Dr. Dovec years ago. I saw his tremendous success. I was a working mother busy taking care of everyone else. I knew if I didn't take care of my health, I eventually wouldn't be able to take care of anyone else. I finally decided it was time for me to put myself first. I underwent the gastric bypass and can’t believe my results. I have never been more confident or comfortable in my skin. I love Dr. Dovec! She has taken such great care of my family in more ways than she will ever understand. The way she cares for her patients like they are her own family, she stands out from the rest!

All I can say is wow! why haven't I done this sooner! With my jobs insurance only took about about 8-10 weeks from consultation to surgery. Dr. Lane and the surgeon team are amazing, this procedure literally saved my life! I absolutely recommend getting your bariatric surgery here, plus you have a lifelong team you can contact via call/text for anything. Big shout out to Amber the PA as well!!

Dr. Dovec has me so excited for my surgery! She is amazing. The energy is calming and uplifting at the same time. Edit to add: just had my surgery bypass on 8/28. The entire team was amazing. Honestly, Dr Lane and Dr Dovec are so comforting. The nurses are exceptional! They comforted me all the way through pre op and post op. I was provided with so much love and warmth. You can tell they love what they do. I would never choose another location for bariatric surgery and I will be telling everyone about this location. Don’t think twice about them just do it!

I want to recommend the clinic. I had my surgery a few months ago and it was a complete success. 50 lbs in 6 months, here's my before and after. Thank you, BodybyBariatrics! 🫰🏻

This experience has been the absolute best! Dr. Dovec and her entire team treat you like family. They genuinely care about you and you feel as if you are the only patient. I have never been hurried along or dismissed. They answer every question with care. You will not find a better team. Having surgery gave me a second chance at life. My only regret is that I wish I had found her sooner!

Very informative first consult. I would definitely recommend Body by Bariatrics. I’m looking forward to taking the next steps with my procedure. I’m thankful to BodybyBariatrics for helping keep get healthy. I’m so happy to wake up and take supplements versus diabetic medication and blood pressure medication. I’m feeling my best. Thank God for what you do.
