A NEW APPROACH FOR RENEWED SUCCESS

Based on the S.L.I.M.M.S.™-Metabolic Procedure above, and also invented by Dr. Quebbemann with the goal of improving the weight loss results after gastric bypass, the S.L.I.M.M.S.™ Revision of Gastric Bypass offers a new path forward for gastric bypass patients that have regained weight.

Sometimes patients can regain success simply by improving their gastric bypass anatomy and following some simple lifestyle changes. Other patients need a bit more help.

Your body is living, and constantly changing. Even when your anatomy was correct initially, that doesn’t mean it will stay that way forever. In many people, the anatomic changes from gastric bypass can last a lifetime, but in others they may not. Needing a revision does not imply failure by either you or your surgeon, it may simply mean that “things changed” and need to be corrected. In other patients, the anatomy created at the time of the original surgery may have not been enough to succeed.

When dilation of the small stomach pouch, or disruption of the connection between the stomach pouch and intestine occurs, a standard gastric bypass revision may be the only anatomic improvement you need.

However, for some people, adding the power of a sleeve gastrectomy to the gastric bypass may provide a more powerful improvement. The S.L.I.M.M.S.™ Revision for Gastric Bypass, invented by Dr. Quebbemann, does just this. The goal is to increase the potential benefits of a revision by decreasing your body’s production of the hunger hormone Ghrelin.

WHO IT’S RIGHT FOR

A S.L.I.M.M.S.™ Revision could be a great fit for individuals that have already had a gastric bypass, but want to improve their results for any of the following reasons:

• Unsuccessful Weight Loss
• Weight Regain after Initial Weight Loss
• Recurrence of Diabetes

Introducing the new S.L.I.M.M.S.™-Lifestyle Procedure for people who want to lose as little as twenty-five extra pounds! A new solution for intelligent people that desire permanent weight loss and a fit and healthy lifestyle.

Almost everyone has struggled to maintain their best weight, everyone has lost weight through dieting only to regain it back, and almost everyone’s weight seems to increase over time. Over and over, I hear clients tell me they succeeded with Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Keto Diets, or any one of dozens of other diet programs, only to regain all the weight they lost and more! On top of this, news articles and medical experts constantly remind us of the hazards associated with Yo-Yo dieting. But the medical world only offers one mildly successful pill after another, and surgeons only offer plastic surgery in the form of tummy-tucks or liposuction, both of which fail in terms of long-term weight loss and can have major complications or large scars.

A new option:

Dr. Quebbemann believes those people that know traditional weight loss programs and cosmetic surgery won’t work for them deserve a better solution. To help these clients, he invented a new Reversible, Minimally Invasive Stomach Procedure.

The new S.L.I.M.M.S.™-Lifestyle Procedure is designed to help you lose weight for lifestyle and cosmetic reasons, as well as to help you manage future metabolic problems through prevention, rather than waiting until they occur.

Plastic surgery is great for body contouring and for removing excess skin but does not result in permanent weight loss – patients will always gain the weight back elsewhere. This is true with both tummy-tuck and liposuction, and all surgeons should know this.

The new S.L.I.M.M.S.™-Lifestyle Procedure is specifically designed to help people eat less, resulting in simple diet changes and rapid and permanent weight loss. And The N.E.W. Program clinic helps to coach patients through the easy DietaryRebuild™ program, written and published by Dr. Quebbemann, to help people make these simple diet changes for permanent success.

Reversible, Minimally Invasive, Outpatient:

S.L.I.M.M.S.™-Lifestyle Procedure is reversible, minimally invasive, and done as an outpatient. Safety is expected to be as high, or higher, than the safety of weight loss surgery for severe obesity, and our goals are client confidentiality and excellent results.

The new S.L.I.M.M.S.™-Lifestyle Procedure is available exclusively at The N.E.W. Program in Newport Beach, California.

Pioneered by Dr. Brian Quebbemann, the S.L.I.M.M.S.™-Metabolic Procedure combines the two best bariatric procedures in the world, the Gastric Sleeve and the Gastric Bypass, into one surgery. By combining the two operations, Dr. Quebbemann hopes his patients have more permanent success through

• Feeling full with small meals (the bypass effect), and;
• Having a sustained decrease in Ghrelin (the sleeve effect)

S.L.I.M.M.S.™-Metabolic, which stands for Surgically Limit Intake Manage Metabolic Syndrome, is designed for individuals who want to surgically improve their metabolism and lose weight: patients that qualify for a Sleeve or a Bypass will also qualify for the S.L.I.M.M.S.™-Metabolic Procedure.

Why Combine the Sleeve and the Bypass:

The Gastric Sleeve procedure results in a decrease in production of the hunger hormone Ghrelin, and a feeling of fullness with smaller meals. The decrease in Ghrelin lasts, but the portions people can eat generally increase over time, sometimes resulting in weight regain and a return of diabetes and other metabolic conditions.

The Gastric Bypass also results in a decrease in production of the hunger hormone Ghrelin, and a feeling of fullness with smaller meals. While Ghrelin increases back towards normal levels after gastric bypass, most patients continue to feel full after small meals which helps with long-term weight loss.

By combining these two operations, Dr. Quebbemann hopes his patients will benefit from both a permanent decrease in Ghrelin and a permanent feeling of fullness after small meals. The intended result is more consistent weight loss and a more permanent improvement in metabolism, including diabetes, high cholesterol, infertility, chronic fatigue, and other metabolic conditions.

Until now, patients have had to choose either the gastric sleeve or the gastric bypass. The gastric sleeve offers a permanent decrease in Ghrelin, but a higher chance of weight regain and return of diabetes. The gastric bypass provides better long-term weight loss and control of diabetes, but Ghrelin production will increase and appetite may increase as well. The S.L.I.M.M.S.™-Metabolic Procedure offers The Power of Combined.

Safety of both procedures combined:

Some people ask if it is safe to have both procedures, the gastric bypass and the gastric sleeve. The answer is yes. Thousands of people in North America have undergone gastric sleeve only to regain weight, have diabetes recur, or develop severe chronic heartburn and GERD. The treatment for these complications after gastric sleeve is often to convert that person to a gastric bypass. These patients will then have both a gastric sleeve and a gastric bypass similar to the S.L.I.M.M.S.™-Metabolic Procedure. The problem is that they will have had to undergo two separate operations, and they will not benefit from the power of both procedures combined at the same time. With S.L.I.M.M.S.™-Metabolic, you would benefit from the combined effects with only one operation.
