GT metabolic anastomosis is an advanced, minimally invasive weight loss procedure offered by Dr. Chad Carlton. It uses magnetic compression instead of staples or stitches, helping you heal naturally with fewer risks and a smoother recovery.
Support Weight Loss Without Incisions
GT metabolic anastomosis is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure that creates a new connection between parts of your small intestine using special magnets: no cutting, staples, or sutures. Over time, the magnets gently compress tissue, forming a natural opening that reroutes digestion. This diversion limits the number of calories and nutrients your body absorbs, leading to significant weight loss. Dr. Carlton offers this option to help you lose weight safely, heal naturally, and improve metabolic conditions like type 2 diabetes.
Benefits of GT Metabolic Anastomosis:
- Performed without staples, sutures, or incisions
- Minimizes trauma to surrounding tissue
- Uses magnets that exit the body naturally after healing
- Creates a secure, natural connection between the intestines
- Shorter recovery time compared to traditional procedures
- Supports long-term weight loss and metabolic health
- May improve blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity
- Ideal for patients seeking a less invasive alternative
How Does GT Metabolic Anastomosis Work?
GT metabolic anastomosis creates a side-to-side connection between two parts of your small intestine using strong, specially designed magnets. One magnet is placed through a scope in your stomach, and the other through a small incision into your intestine. These magnets attract each other and gently compress the tissue in between, eventually creating a natural opening without stitches. Over time, the magnets fall off and pass through your digestive system.
This new connection reroutes food so it bypasses part of the small intestine. Since your body absorbs most nutrients and calories in the early part of the small intestine, this change helps reduce the number of calories absorbed. As a result, you feel full faster, your hunger hormones shift, and your metabolism improves, supporting long-term weight loss.
Am I a Candidate for GT Metabolic Anastomosis?
You may be a good candidate for GT metabolic anastomosis if you struggle with obesity or related conditions like type 2 diabetes and are seeking a less invasive weight loss option. This procedure is often ideal if you’ve had a sleeve gastrectomy or are considering a staged surgical approach. During your consultation, Dr. Carlton will evaluate your medical history, weight loss goals, and digestive health to determine if this innovative procedure is right for you.
How Much Weight Can I Lose with GT Metabolic Anastomosis?
Weight loss results vary, but many patients experience significant and lasting weight reduction after GT metabolic anastomosis. Because the procedure reroutes part of your digestive system, it helps reduce calorie absorption and improves hormone balance, leading to steady weight loss over time. On average, patients can expect to lose a meaningful percentage of their excess weight within the first year, but healthy lifestyle changes are also important.
