Medical Weight Loss
The concept of the mini gastric bypass is quite intriguing as there are several variants created to mimic traditional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The mini gastric bypass is popularized mostly by Dr. Rutledge, who in his own series, reports that the mini gastric bypass is safer with similar weight loss. Dr. Rutledge creates a 70 ounce small stomach pouch such as that seen in figure 1. Compared to the traditional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, Rutledge’s pouch is longer and serves as a greater sized reservoir for food such that patients can eat more than they can compared to the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. As a result of the different type of pouch in the mini-gastric bypass, the bypass portion is fashioned differently where a segment of small intestine is brought up to the end of the pouch and as such you really do not have a Roux-en-Y.

Nutritional Counseling
The answer to this question is very individualized. Both the Realize Band and the Lap Band provide an internet-based self assessment tool with virtual feedback. This is an awesome advent and demonstrates the commitment of both systems to enhance patient support and education. Compliance and, in turn, results should be theoretically improved when these tools are used regularly at home and work. At the moment, these tools are more advanced in the Realize Band program as compared to the Lap Band program. The However, the fact is that most patients will never use these tools as much as they should and those who do will probably have great results based on personality and commitment and not computer generated advice. We feel that live-human support can never be replaced by a computer generated algorithm. As such our band program is based on an open access policy with ad lib nutritional counseling, free local support groups, local nutritional resource stores, personalized exercise programs and surgeon performed fills. Aside from virtual support, local support is the key. The Realize Band is placed routinely by only one group in San Antonio and in Austin and no one in Corpus Christi and Laredo. As such aftercare and support outside of the region may be more difficult to find.

General Surgery
Dr. Ramdath was born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago. He earned his medical degree at the University of the West Indies, St Augustine, Trinidad in 2011. After working in the Emergency and General surgery departments at Trinidad’s San Fernando General Hospital, Dr. Ramdath completed his general surgery residency at the Howard University Hospital in Washington, DC. He was awarded the Department of Surgery Chairman’s Award for Intern of the year and Chief resident of the year for outstanding academic and clinical performance. Dr. Ramdath completed fellowship training in advanced gastrointestinal, minimally invasive, and bariatric surgery under the guidance of world renowned surgeon Dr. Raul Rosenthal at the Cleveland Clinic, Weston, Florida.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
For many years surgeons and patients alike felt that minimally invasive surgery could be learned and successfully practiced without specialized training programs. However, that perception has changed due to rapid advancements in both technology and medical knowledge. Modern medicine now demands that minimally invasive surgery be taught and practiced as a sub-specialty and today it’s one of the fastest-growing sub-specialties in the United States.
