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!

Comprehensive Weight Loss Solutions Tailored to You

At Pivot Weight Loss, we understand that losing weight isn't just about willpower or trying harder. Our Phoenix weight loss center combines medical expertise, personalized support, and genuine compassion to help you achieve results that truly last.

Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG)

VSG is one of the most popular weight loss surgery options in Phoenix. This minimally invasive procedure removes approximately 80% of the stomach, creating a smaller sleeve that naturally reduces hunger and helps you feel full faster.

Our bariatric surgeons use laparoscopic techniques for quicker recovery and excellent results. Ideal for patients with a BMI over 40, or over 35 with obesity-related conditions.

MagnaFit Slim

Experience the future of weight loss with MagnaFit Slim, a revolutionary minimally invasive procedure that uses advanced magnetic technology to create real, lasting results without surgery. Our weight loss clinic in Phoenix is the first and only provider in Arizona offering this breakthrough treatment.

Perfect for patients seeking effective weight loss without the commitment of traditional bariatric surgery.

Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)

The gold standard for lasting weight loss success. This procedure creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes part of your intestine, combining restriction and malabsorption for maximum results.

Most patients lose 60-80% of excess weight within two years, with many seeing immediate improvement in Type 2 diabetes.

Adjustable Gastric Banding (Lap-Band)

A fully reversible option that places an adjustable band around the upper stomach to limit food intake. With no cutting or stapling, this is the least invasive choice at our Phoenix weight loss center. The band can be adjusted over time to match your changing needs.

SADI-S (Single Anastomosis Duodenal-Ileal Switch)

A modern approach combining sleeve gastrectomy with a simplified intestinal bypass. This procedure delivers powerful weight loss through both restriction and malabsorption, with fewer complications than the traditional duodenal switch.

Duodenal Switch (Traditional)

The traditional Duodenal Switch is a powerful, comprehensive bariatric procedure that pairs a sleeve gastrectomy with a complex intestinal bypass. This combination maximizes weight loss and helps improve obesity-related health conditions, making it a highly effective long-term solution. Best suited for patients with severe obesity who need significant, sustained weight loss.

SASI Bypass (Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal Bypass)

Our most comprehensive procedure for severe obesity. It pairs sleeve gastrectomy with extensive intestinal bypass for maximum weight loss. Best suited for patients needing significant intervention who are ready for lifelong nutritional supplementation and follow-up.
