In general, the gastric bypass operation is more aggressive than the gastric sleeve.

This operation takes between one and one and a half hours. Using small abdominal incisions, a laparoscopic procedure called a gastric bypass is carried out. In order to digest your food and avoid using a portion of your small intestine, Dr. Carlton makes a little pouch in your stomach. Making these modifications has a big influence on the hormones in your stomach that regulate blood sugar, appetite, and fullness in addition to altering how much food you need to consume. You may reduce 60–80% of your extra body weight with the use of a gastric bypass.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][mkdf_section_title type=”standard” position=”” title_tag=”h3″ disable_break_words=”no” title=”Who is a good candidate for a Gastric Bypass?”][vc_column_text]Dr. Carlton and his team usually recommend gastric bypass if you have:

• A body mass index (BMI) of 35-39.9 and a weight-related health issue
• A BMI of 40 or higher
• Tried losing weight unsuccessfully with diet and exercise

Gastric bypass isn’t for everyone, however. As part of your appointment, Dr. Carlton and his staff carefully assess your eligibility by going through your surgical choices for weight reduction, your general expectations, the risks of gastric bypass surgery, and more.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”53px” el_class=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-lg”][vc_single_image image=”10407″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” el_class=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-lg”][/mkdf_elements_holder_item][/mkdf_elements_holder][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1677523159007{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_single_image image=”10407″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” css=”.vc_custom_1677523587835{padding-top: 37px !important;}” simple_background_color=”#eaeaea”][vc_column][mkdf_call_to_action layout=”normal” content_in_grid=”yes” button_text=”Ask a Question” button_type=”solid” button_size=”” button_link=”#contactnow”]

In place of a big incision, Dr. Carlton performs gastric bypass surgery using laparoscopic methods. Little incisions, specialized instruments, and video guidance are used in laparoscopic surgeries to carry out difficult operations.

The long-term results of the bypass, which include weight reduction and the treatment of Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension (High Blood Pressure), and Hyperlipidemia, are comparable but significantly better (High Cholesterol).

The entire office staff was amazing. Everyone is kind and caring and are there to help. Dr. Carlton listens to your story and what led you to his practice. He is not going to steer you in a direction best suited for him. He steers you to what is best suited for YOU!

Dr. Carlton and his staff are Awesome!! I started my weight loss journey in April of 2022. I weighed 377 Ibs, diabetic taking medication and insulin every day. I felt fatigued all the time and joints hurt. I had the gastric bypass done in November of 2022 weighing in at 313 lbs. As of today September 7, 2023, I weigh 220 lbs (Total Weight loss of 157 lbs) and I’m no longer a diabetic taking any medication or insulin. Thank you Dr. Carlton and his staff for all there support!!

Six months ago I used to wear size 14-16 and now I wear size 4. I lost almost 70 lbs in only six months. I had high blood pressure and diabetes. I was taking three different types of insulin and other medications on top of that. I had no energy and was always tired. All. The. Time. I was so depressed. I never wanted to go out or dress up. Fast forward to six months later, I am comfortable dressing up and going out, I do not take insulin or any other medication for diabetes, I do not have high blood pressure, I am not tired all the time and I have more energy than ever before. I feel and look great. This is thanks to Dr. Chad Carlton. He, alongside his team and staff, have helped me tremendously through this journey. From the first day I walked into the office, I felt seen and heard. They took care of me. Right after surgery they called and made sure I was doing okay. They care so much and it shows. I’m really grateful and I’m excited to see what will be of the next 6 months in my journey. Thank you guys for everything!

I had an incredible visit with Dr Carlton today. He repaired a major hiatal hernia on me a few years back! I came back for a check up - we made a medication adjustment - and we caught up on my overall health journey. I trust him - emphatically to make the best recommendations taking my whole health journey into consideration!

Dr Carlton and his staff are top notch, they are excellent at what they do and quickly responded to all my questions. As a nurse, i was looking at every details lol, and couldn’t find anything to complain or worry about. I liked the fact that Dr Carlton covered all the bases to make sure I will have no complications during recovery. I am forever grateful to the office and now it is my turn to do the work to get my body healthy. My first visit was 5/31/23 and I had my surgery 7/18/23 and so far I am in love with it. Thank you for being the positive human beings that you are.
