NeWeigh facilitates for surgeons who laparoscopically perform Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass,
Adjustable Gastric Banding, Gastric Sleeve, BPD with Duodenal Switch and revision of a prior procedure. Your surgeon
will discuss in detail with you the benefits, risks, complications and alterative
treatment modalities; together you will determine the best course of action.
NeWeigh is pleased to facilitate for Drs. Jayakumar, Bina, Leiva, and Taylor.
Like NeWeigh, these surgeons understand the complexities of morbid obesity and the
sensitivity of those who suffer with this disease. Their financial support of the
NeWeigh Program helps fund the complicated, time consuming insurance approval process,
as well as the cost associated with aftercare support groups that are crucial to
your ongoing, long-term weight-loss success.
