What Is Green Zone Weight Loss Surgery?

Hospital Angeles is proud to offer weight loss surgery candidates an exclusive opportunity to choose the newest advancement in weight loss surgery, Green Zone Precision Bariatrics featuring EndoFlip restriction technology, available for Gastric Band, Gastric Plication, and Gastric Sleeve.

Green Zone Technology

Green Zone weight loss surgery utilizes a new medical device for bariatric surgery, the Endolumenal Functional Lumen Imaging Probe, OR EndoFLIP®. The EndoFlip® was developed by medical device manufacturer CROSPON, specialzing in minimally invasive medical devices for imaging and aiding surgery in the esophagus and stomach.

The EndoFLIP® is an FDA-approved device that uses non-radiographic imaging to measure cross sectional area and volume of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract in real time.

For a Restriction That Is "Just Right"

This means that there is no guessing about the "right" size for your band, sleeve or plication, and no risk of a too tight or too-light restriction - with EndoFLIP® your restriction will be ‘just right’ for optimal weight loss, right away.

The EndoFLIP® allows a surgeon to set a consistent band stoma diameter at surgery for every patient, which minimizes the risk of the band, pleat or staple line being too tight….or too loose post-surgery. Precise results mean quicker, more efficient weight loss, and less chance of complications.

Green Zone LAP-BAND® patients will need fewer adjustments, something to consider when planning for the type of surgery you will have. Post-operative bariatric patients in the Green Zone have the fewest problems and the best weight loss results.
