Dr. Mann performs a comprehensive range of weight loss procedures tailored to individual patient needs and clinical circumstances.
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
A procedure that reduces stomach size by approximately 80 percent, limiting food intake and reducing hunger hormones. This surgery has demonstrated excellent long-term weight loss outcomes and improvement in obesity-related conditions.
Gastric Bypass Surgery
A metabolic procedure that creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the digestive tract. This approach is particularly effective for patients with severe obesity and type 2 diabetes, often resulting in significant metabolic improvements.

Research has shown that metabolic surgery can lead to remission or significant improvement in type 2 diabetes in appropriate candidates. Dr. Mann’s training in integrated obesity care enables him to identify patients who may benefit from surgical metabolic intervention.
In addition to bariatric and metabolic procedures, Dr. Mann performs minimally invasive surgery for a range of general surgical conditions.
Hernia Repairs
Including inguinal, umbilical, ventral, and hiatal hernias using mesh-reinforced laparoscopic techniques that reduce recurrence rates and speed recovery.
