Fremont County Weight Loss Injections
Mounjaro and Ozempic are two medications available to qualified patients for diabetic control and weight loss. These drugs affect the brain, stomach, and pancreas in humans. With respect to the brain, patients have less hunger and eat less.
The stomach also reacts to these medications by taking longer to empty. Patients eat less and feel full longer.
Pre-diabetic patients have a more normal balance of hormones around the pancreas with improved blood sugar control.
In my surgical practice, there are groups of patients who either require weight loss to prepare them for bariatric surgery or have had weight regain years after surgery.

True Outpatient Bariatric Surgery
Dr. Timothy Brown, M.D. and his staff treat patients who want to achieve weight loss through bariatric surgery, as well as patients with gastrointestinal conditions.

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Revision
Problems arising from laparoscopic gastric bands are common, and Lap-Band removal is becoming more and more popular. Many studies have shown that more than half of the gastric bands are removed due to inadequate weight loss or serious complications after 7-10 years.
Placing a laparoscopic gastric band around the stomach is a safe method for weight loss, but complications sometimes do occur. These include:
band slippage
gastric erosion (where the stomach tissue is damaged because of the band pressure)
esophagitis (inflammation of the esophagus)
pouch dilation (spreading of the stomach behind the band restriction)
laparoscopic port complications (infection or positioning issues)
failure in significant weight loss
Due to...
