Guest(s) Dr. Peter LePort, M.D. and Bobbie Ridge (Patient) Topic Gastric Bypass: Examining options in weight loss surgery Topic Info With obesity on the rise in our country, weight loss surgery is a hot topic. Celebrities like Starr Jones, who has been reluctant to reveal her weight loss surgery, and Carnie Wilson, who is outspoken on the matter, are bringing additional attention to procedures such as LapBand, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, Vertical Banded Gastroplasty, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, Duodenal Switch, and Biliopancreatic Diversion. It’s important to understand the successes and complications that can accompany these procedures. Joining us is Dr. Peter LePort, a bariatric surgeon and medical director at Orange Coast Memorial Medical Center. Dr. Leport has performed thousands of procedures in his lengthy career and is a leading expert in his field. Also joining us is a gastric bypass patient, who will share experiences adjusting to life after weight loss surgery.
