Finding the right weight loss surgery in Fort Lauderdale or Miami can be simple if you choose the right surgeon. Dr. Emil Matei has the education and background to select the best procedure for you. To learn more about the weight loss procedures he performs, please explore the links below.

• LAP-BAND® surgery involves the placement of an adjustable band around the upper part of your stomach. This band reduces the amount of food that your stomach can hold at one time. You will feel full sooner and for longer than you did before surgery. Weight loss with LAP-BAND is gradual yet steady.
• ROSE Revision Procedure is appropriate for patients who have already lost weight with gastric bypass surgery and are now beginning to gain the weight back. The surgery is incisionless, with instruments passed from the patient's mouth into the stomach. The gastric pouch and stomach are reduced in size, allowing patients to lose the weight that they have regained.
• Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is performed for people who would like quicker results with less follow-up care. During this Miami / Fort Lauderdale bariatric surgery, Dr. Matei will alter the shape and size of the stomach, making it small (up to 85% of the stomach will be removed) and sleeve-shaped.
