Veins have one-way valves inside them that open and close to keep blood flowing toward the heart. However, weakened or damaged valves or walls in the veins can cause blood to pool and even flow backwards. This is called reflux. The veins may grow larger and become distorted, resulting in varicose veins. Trouble with varicose veins? Make an appointment with our vascular specialist Dr. Saadi Halbouni.

What is the gastric sleeve?
During gastric sleeve surgery, our surgeons remove 80% of the stomach, leaving the patient with a smaller, tubular pouch. This pouch holds much less food, which reduces the number of calories a patient can consume. In addition, it also influences the gut hormones responsible for hunger and blood sugar control.
