THE S.L.I.M.M.S.® COSMETIC PROCEDURE A REVERSIBLE GASTRIC SLEEVE FOR COSMETIC WEIGHT LOSS DEVELOPED BY DR. BRIAN QUEBBEMANN

A Reversible Gastric Sleeve Procedure
Result; Instead of permanent removal of normal stomach for severe obesity, this is a reversible sleeve procedure for cosmetic improvement
Also referred to as The SexyGirlProcedure™ or The SexyGuyProcedure™

People want a weight loss procedure that works for cosmetic reasons. Tummy tuck and Liposuction do not help with weight loss, and tummy tuck involves very large incisions, and a long recovery. The SLIMMS Cosmetic Procedure is performed using minimally invasive techniques, is a true weight loss procedure, is reversible, and is done as an outpatient. Dr. Quebbemann believes this procedure is a true weight loss procedure that can help you get the body you want.

Dr. Quebbemann describes a little about why he decided to work in weight loss surgery back when it was not a popular field.

we’re here to all your questions

The S.L.I.M.M.S.®-Lifestyle Procedure e is for any patient interested in weight loss surgery for lifestyle and cosmetic reasons. People with as little as 25 extra pounds may qualify.

The S.L.I.M.M.S.®-Metabolic Procedure e is for any patient that qualifies for a Gastric Sleeve or Bypass and has diabetes, PCOS, or other metabolic medical conditions.

The S.L.I.M.M.S.® Revision of Gastric Bypass s is specifically for patients who are unsatisfied with the results of their Gastric Bypass.

The S.L.I.M.M.S.® Procedures are only available through S.L.I.M.M.S. Inc., in Orange County, California.

No. Studies show that people can lose an average of 15% of their body weight when they take these medications and regain weight if they stop. People can lose more than 50% of their body weight after surgery, or more.

Published studies say there is not. Several centers worldwide have removed the entire stomach during gastric bypass surgery to prevent stomach cancer. Even though these centers remove more stomach than happens with the S.L.I.M.M.S.® Metabolic Procedure, they have reported that surgical risks are no higher than performing a standard gastric bypass.

Yes. Yo-Yo dieting is not only psychologically difficult, but people lose lean muscle mass when they diet, and then regain only fat. The result if that repeated weight loss attempts, followed by weight regain, will decrease your metabolism.

No. Liposuction simply removes a small amount of fat for body contouring purposes. Without significant changes in diet and exercise, patients that have undergone liposuction will regain that body fat, often in a different, and potentially ugly way.

Through all of the fat jokes, stares, and crude comments, I pushed to continue my battle with weight loss, even though the results were nonexistent. I had almost given up on myself after stepping on the scale one day and seeing the number 253, I will never forget that feeling. But then I found this clinic... I began to have hope again. I realized that they were here to help push me, to be my support system, and provide weight loss resources that were crucial to my success. Since the surgery, my life has drastically changed! I am happier, healthier, and have mountains of energy! I graduated college and am currently in my second year of law school, loving every minute of it! I would not be who I am, or where I am, today without the help of Dr. Q!"

S.L.I.M.M.S.® METABOLIC PROCEDURE​

The S.L.I.M.M.S.® Metabolic Procedure combines the two best bariatric procedures in the world, the Gastric Sleeve and the Gastric Bypass, into one surgery. Invented by Dr. Quebbemann, the goal is to have a more successful metabolic procedure. The combination results in,

  • A powerful full feeling with small meals (the bypass effect)
  • A powerful decrease in the appetite hormone Ghrelin (the sleeve effect)
    • S.L.I.M.M.S. Metabolic stands for Surgically Limit Intake Manage Metabolic Syndrome. This procedure was specifically invented for individuals that want to dramatically improve their metabolism. An improved metabolism can result in:

    • Weight Loss
    • Lower Cholesterol
    • Lower Blood Pressure
    • Lower Triglycerides
    • Resolution of PCOS
    • Resolution of Diabetes
    • Increased Testosterone in Men
    • Better Hormone Balance in Women
    • Improved Immune System
    • Prevention of Weight Regain
    • Better Sleep
    • Improved Fertility
    • Higher Sex Drive
    • More Energy
    Why Combine the Sleeve and the Bypass:

    The Gastric Sleeve procedure results in a permanent decrease in the hunger hormone Ghrelin. However, over time, most people can eat a lot more because the stomach enlarges. Some people are able to maintain their weight loss, but a large percentage of people (some experts estimate over 50%) regain too much weight after a sleeve. Diabetes and other metabolic conditions can return as well.

    The Gastric Bypass often results in a permanent feeling of fullness with smaller meals. However, over time the hunger hormone Ghrelin increases, and so does appetite. As a result, a significant percentage ofpeople regain more weight than they want over time.

    >Dr. Quebbemann wanted his patients to benefit from both a permanent decrease in Ghrelin, and a permanent feeling of fullness after small meals. He achieved this by combining the two procedures. The S.L.I.M.M.S. ® Metabolic Procedure offers The Power of Combined.

    Safety of both procedures combined:

    Some people ask if it is safe to have both procedures, the gastric bypass and the gastric sleeve. The answer is yes. Thousands of people in North America have undergone gastric sleeve and later converted to a gastric bypass when they regained weight, developed diabetes, or developed severe GERD. These patients have both a gastric sleeve and a gastric bypass, similar to the S.L.I.M.M.S.® Metabolic Procedure. In addition, several surgery centers around the world have reported that there is no increase in complications when they remove the entire stomach during a bypass operation. The S.L.I.M.M.S.® Metabolic Procedure does not involve removing the entire bypassed stomach.
