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!

Compassionate Medical Weight Loss Programs Tailored to Your Needs

No two weight-loss journeys look the same, and they shouldn’t. At the Pivot bariatric clinic in Sedona, we take the time to understand your health history, lifestyle, comfort level, and goals before recommending any plan. Whether it's considering bariatric surgery or non-surgical options, everything we do is built around you.

Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG)

Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, or VSG, is a type of bariatric surgery that helps with long-term weight loss. During the procedure, about 80–90% of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This helps you feel full faster and reduces hunger hormones.

Our experienced bariatric surgeons in Sedona perform VSG using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques. This promotes faster recovery and excellent outcomes. This is typically recommended for patients with a BMI over 40, or a BMI over 35 if obesity-related health conditions are present.

MagnaFit Slim

Experience the next generation of weight loss with MagnaFit Slim, a minimally invasive procedure that uses cutting-edge magnetic technology - without traditional surgery. Pivot Weight Loss Center in Sedona is proud to be the first and only center in Arizona to offer this innovative treatment.

This option is ideal for patients who want sustainable weight loss without committing to bariatric surgery.

Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)

Considered the gold standard for long-term weight loss, this procedure involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting a portion of the intestine. It helps you lose weight by combining reduced food intake with limited calorie absorption.

Most people lose 60–80% of excess weight within two years. Others notice improvements in Type 2 diabetes almost immediately.

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 one of the least invasive choices at our Sedona weight loss center. The band can be adjusted over time to match your changing needs.

SADI-S (Single Anastomosis Duodenal-Ileal Switch)

The SADI-S is a modern bariatric procedure that combines stomach reduction with a simplified intestinal bypass to help patients achieve lasting weight loss. It creates a smaller stomach and reroutes part of the intestines, which reduces how much food you can eat while also limiting calorie absorption.

Compared to the traditional duodenal switch, SADI-S is less complex and has fewer risks.

Duodenal Switch (Traditional)

The Duodenal Switch (Traditional), also known as Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS), is a weight-loss surgery that combines two primary mechanisms: restriction (limiting food intake) and malabsorption (limiting calorie absorption).

It is generally recommended for patients with a BMI of 50 or higher, or 40 and significant obesity-related health conditions.

SASI Bypass (Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal Bypass)

The SASI Bypass (Single Anastomosis Sleeve Ileal Bypass) is a newer bariatric procedure that combines the mechanisms of a sleeve gastrectomy and an intestinal bypass. It is often referred to as "transit bipartition."

It is designed to maximize weight loss and metabolic improvement while reducing the risks typically associated with traditional bypass surgeries.
