Incredible staff and doctors! My husband had VSG a year ago and is down 130 pounds. I had vsg 5 weeks ago. Recovery was a breeze. I couldn’t be happier! Because of the pre op testing I discovered I’ve had sleep apnea for a long time, happy to be treating it now. These doctors are about safety which I appreciate and why I decided to go with them after watching how careful and thought out they were with my husbands care.

I had my surgery on January 10, 2024. Dr John debarros is a great and professionally doctor. He explained the entire process and made me feel comfortable and did a great job on repairing my hernia. He also is the best because he is a huge New York yankee fan. Thank you so much for helping me.

Visited for a family member. We were able to have all my questions answered and she was given the relief she needed. I did over 10 consults and this was clearly the top bariatric centre. We did not have insurance but they worked with us to find a way. Super excited for this new journey and to have an amazing team behind us!

Advanced Weight Loss Procedures Built Around Your Life

At Pivot, we reject the idea that weight loss is solely a matter of willpower. We treat obesity as a complex medical condition, combining surgical expertise and compassionate support to ensure your results are permanent.

Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG)

Our most common weight-loss surgery in Glendale, the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, involves a sophisticated reshaping of the stomach. By removing approximately 80% of the stomach volume, we create a slender "sleeve" that naturally curbs appetite and promotes early fullness.

Using laparoscopic methods, our surgeons prioritize minimal scarring and a swift recovery. This is often recommended for patients with a BMI exceeding 40.

MagnaFit Slim

Pivot is proud to be the premier weight loss center in Glendale and the only one in the Southwest to offer MagnaFit Slim. This revolutionary, non-invasive treatment utilizes magnetic technology to stimulate weight loss without a single incision. It’s a perfect fit for those looking for medical intervention without the traditional surgical commitment.

Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)

Gastric Bypass works by creating a small stomach pouch and bypassing a portion of the small intestine. This dual-action approach leads to rapid weight loss and can even cause immediate remission in Type 2 diabetes.

Adjustable Gastric Banding (Lap-Band)

For a fully reversible and flexible option, the Lap-Band limits food intake via an adjustable band around the upper stomach. This procedure requires no permanent stapling or cutting, making it the least invasive surgical path at our bariatric clinic in Glendale.

SADI-S (Single Anastomosis Duodenal-Ileal Switch)

SADI-S is a modern, improved version of the traditional duodenal switch that combines restriction with malabsorption to deliver dramatic weight-loss results while reducing the risk of complications associated with older surgical approaches.

Duodenal Switch (Traditional)

The duodenal switch is one of the most powerful weight loss surgeries available, helping patients shed 70–90% of excess weight within the first two years. It's best suited for those with higher BMIs or significant obesity-related health conditions.

SASI Bypass (Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal Bypass)

The SASI Bypass is our most robust procedure for treating severe obesity. By combining a sleeve gastrectomy with an extensive intestinal bypass, it provides a high-impact solution for patients committed to lifelong health monitoring.
