Understand the change

How does bariatric
surgery work?

Metabolic surgery changes more than stomach size. Explore how each procedure changes the path of food and supports weight loss and metabolic health.

How gastric sleeve worksJ-shaped sleeve stomach with the greater-curvature portion removed; food continues through the pylorus into the small intestine.EsophagusRemoved stomachportionSleeve stomachSmall intestine© NuSelf

The metabolic benefit The sleeve removes most of the stomach tissue that produces ghrelin, a hormone that signals hunger. This can reduce hunger naturally. These hormonal changes also support metabolic health and long-term weight maintenance.

Food routeSimplified anatomy · not to scale

Gastric sleeve

A smaller stomach. A change in hunger signals.

Part of the stomach is removed. Food follows the usual intestinal route, while the sleeve holds less and changes hunger and fullness signals.

Long-term follow-up, nutrition, and vitamin monitoring support your health after metabolic surgery.

Meet our founder

Dr. Sashidhar Ganta

Robotic General and Bariatric Surgeon

MD, FACS, FRCS, FRCSI
Board-certified · Yale fellowship-trained

For more than two decades, Dr. Ganta has advanced minimally invasive bariatric care in Central Texas. His experience spans over 6,000 bariatric patients, Yale fellowship training, and a focus on advanced bariatric surgery and complex revisions.

Dr. Ganta brought the first gastric sleeve, duodenal switch, and gastric plication procedures to Central Texas. He went on to perform Texas’s first single-incision LAP-BAND through the umbilicus and pioneer single-incision sleeve surgery—advancing a less invasive approach to metabolic and bariatric surgery.

That commitment continues today: he was the first surgeon in the world to use Moon Surgical’s Maestro AI system in an ambulatory surgery center, bringing a new chapter of surgical innovation to the outpatient setting.
