Dr. Quebbemann's S.L.I.M.M.S.® Procedures

The S.L.I.M.M.S. Procedures were developed out of what I have seen as unique areas of need in the weight loss surgery field.

​

The procedure that I titled simply "The SLIMMS Procedure" addresses the need for an effective weight loss surgery to help people interested primarily in cosmetic improvement, and who may not qualify for, or want, a procedure designed to treat "morbid obesity."

​

The procedure that I titled "The SLIMMS Metabolic Procedure" is for people that want to eliminate their metabolic health problems, but are concerned about the failings of the two most popular bariatric procedures in the world, the Gastric Bypass and Sleeve. This procedure leverages what I call "the power of combined."

​

The SLIMMS Revision for Gastric Bypass tackles the long-standing problem of minimal improvement with revision procedures for a failing Gastric Bypass. After a gastric bypass, patients experience a dramatic decrease in Ghrelin, and appetite, for about six months; it's termed "the honeymoon period" and helps patients lose a lot of weight. This honeymoon period is not recreated with a traditional gastric bypass revision. The SLIMMS Revision, by removing the Ghrelin producing portion of the stomach, recreates the experience of a decrease in appetite, thereby addressing this problem.
