Following a consultation, the procedure requires an educational course led by a Registered Nurse, and a new pre-operative diet as preparation.

If you feel like you may be a good candidate for gastric sleeve surgery, contact or (435) 528-7246 to learn about the benefits, risks, complications and side effects of the procedure. After consultation with a nurse, you will be referred to the appropriate doctor.

Please note, this surgery is not usually covered by insurance.

Sleep Medicine

A good night’s sleep can make all the difference. Restful sleep is a vital part of the health and healing process. People who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea can have a 300 percent increase in stress hormones, and the negative effects of insulin resistance, diabetes and other related conditions can increase significantly as a result. When sleeping disorders are treated correctly, however, a good night’s rest can reduce the risk of a heart attack and stroke by 50 percent. Sleep can also increase the efficiency of your heart by an average of 33 percent.

Some common sleeping disorder symptoms include:

  • Loud and chronic snoring.
  • Choking, snorting or gasping during sleep.
  • Long pauses in breathing.
  • Daytime sleepiness, no matter how much time you spend in bed.

Gunnison Valley Hospital’s Sleep Center offers a comprehensive sleep study program, overseen by the talented Robert D. Pearson, M.D. Consult your physician to schedule an appointment if you think you may be suffering from a sleep disorder. 

For more information, please contact us at 435-528-2232.
