Bariatric Surgery & Medical Weight Loss

Expert Options from Dr. Steve Siegal

If you’re struggling with obesity or weight-related health issues, and traditional diets haven’t delivered results, you’re not alone. Dr. Steve Siegal offers a comprehensive range of surgical and non-surgical weight loss solutions — including gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, revision surgery, and medical weight loss with GLP-1 injections — all personalized to help you achieve real, lasting results.

Whether you’re ready for surgery or looking for a non-invasive alternative, we’ll help you choose the best path for your lifestyle, goals, and health needs.

 A Popular & Effective Surgical Option

The gastric sleeve (sleeve gastrectomy) is one of the most widely performed weight loss procedures today. It involves removing a portion of your stomach, creating a narrow “sleeve” that limits how much you can eat and helps you feel full faster.

Gastric Bypass Surgery

Metabolic Surgery with Rapid Results

The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes your digestive tract to reduce both food intake and calorie absorption. This procedure not only supports rapid weight loss but also offers metabolic benefits that may reverse conditions like Type 2 diabetes and acid reflux.

Single Anastomosis Duodenal-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve

A Powerful Option for Significant, Lasting Weight Loss

SADI-S is a newer, minimally invasive bariatric procedure designed to deliver dramatic weight loss and improve obesity-related health conditions. Originally developed to simplify the biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS), it combines a sleeve gastrectomy with a single connection between the small intestine and the duodenum. This reduces how much you can eat and limits calorie absorption — without the high risk of severe nutritional deficiencies seen in older techniques.

SADI-S can be performed as a primary procedure or as a revision surgery after a previous bariatric operation, such as a gastric sleeve, that didn’t deliver the desired results.

If you’re seeking a powerful surgical option — especially after other weight loss methods or surgeries haven’t worked — SADI-S may provide the lasting results you need.

Revision Bariatric Surgery

Solutions When Previous Surgeries Fall Short

If you’ve had weight loss surgery in the past and didn’t get the results you hoped for — or experienced complications — revision surgery may be the answer. Dr. Siegal provides personalized evaluations and safe, effective revision options to help you get back on track.

Medical Weight Loss with GLP-1 Injections

Semaglutide & Tirzepatide for Non-Surgical Fat Loss

Not ready for surgery? Our medical weight loss program features FDA-approved GLP-1 medications — including Semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®) and Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®, Zepbound™) — designed to curb cravings, balance blood sugar, and help you lose weight safely and steadily.

Our provider-guided program includes personalized dosing, nutritional guidance, and optional add-ons like lipotropic shots. We’ll help you choose between Semaglutide and Tirzepatide based on your medical history, goals, and preferences.
