Bariatric Surgeon & Bariatric Patient
“The only way to know what it feels like to have bariatric surgery is to have one, and I have!” – Dr Brewer
Dr Brewer combines his personal experience with expert medical and surgical treatment options to fight the disease of obesity. He is dedicated to providing individualized care for every patient who strives to lose weight, overcome diabetes, lower cancer risks, and improve the length and quality of their life.
Like his patients, Dr Brewer has struggled with his weight for his entire life. He has lost weight with an improved diet and exercise regimen, obesity medications, an intra-gastric balloon, and finally a bariatric surgery. Dr Brewer understands that the disease of obesity is a difficult, personal, lifelong struggle that every person must face with their own treatment plan. He takes pride in helping each patient find the best treatment options for them.
Dr Brewer offers a medically guided dietary and lifestyle modification program which often includes obesity fighting medications to address the body’s own mechanisms that prevent weight loss. He offers a non-surgical option, the intra-gastric balloon, to improve results in select patients. Dr Brewer is also an expert bariatric surgeon offering all proven minimally invasive surgery options: laparoscopic gastric sleeve, laparoscopic gastric bypass, laparoscopic duodenal switch, laparoscopic single-anastomosis duodenoileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S), and laparoscopic revisions of prior bariatric surgery.
As a bariatric patient, Dr Brewer welcomes post surgical patients seeking help maintaining results, or in need of additional treatment for their obesity.

Minimally Invasive Procedures
Surgical treatments for obesity are the most effective, and the modern techniques come with less risk than if the disease of obesity is allowed to run its course. Other obesity treatments become much more effective when combined with surgery, although often surgery is the only treatment needed.
Dr Brewer is an expert in every proven type of weight loss surgery. In addition to losing weight, these surgery options also cause profound metabolic improvements that lower cardiac risks, lower cancer risks, overcome diabetes, alleviate fatty liver disease, eliminate sleep apnea, and improve fertility. All options are available using advanced laparoscopic, minimally invasive techniques, performed through a few tiny incisions. By offering all options, Dr Brewer provides the full spectrum of help and will guide you in deciding which procedure is perfect for you.
Gastric Sleeve
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy provides satiety, feeling full faster, by making the stomach smaller. It is currently the most commonly preformed bariatric surgery worldwide. Gastric sleeve surgery averages 65% excess weight loss.

Duodenal Switch
Laparoscopic duodenal switch provides satiety and even more help avoiding absorption of calories consumed. The duodenal switch surgery results in the largest amount of excess weight loss and the least weight re-gain. Duodenal switch surgery averages 85% excess weight loss.

Gastric Bypass
Laparoscopic gastric bypass provides satiety and extra help by not absorbing every calorie consumed. As the most established procedure, gastric bypass surgery is often chosen as the benchmark against which any new procedure is evaluated. Gastric bypass surgery averages 75% excess weight loss.

Revision Bariatric Surgery
Laparoscopic revision surgeries correct previous procedures, or provide additional mechanisms to fight obesity. The need for a revision surgery is not a failure, it is just the next step to treat the disease. Revision surgeries include gastric band revisions, revisions to sleeve gastrectomy, revisions to gastric bypass, and revisions to vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG).

Patient Reviews
“I had gastric bypass in December of 2015. I weighed 235 and I was miserable. I am an elementary school principal and I couldn't keep up with my kids. All I wanted to do was sleep. I had to use a CPAP machine at night and I had arthritis in my hands, knees and feet. It hurt to even walk around the school building everyday.
Two and a half years later, I am a new me! I lost over 100 pounds and I feel fantastic! I can do my job all day long and still have energy for my new hobby. Roller derby! I play on a competitive team with some awesome ladies. Dr Brewer and his staff are very supportive and helpful. I highly recommend New You Bariatric Center to anyone that is ready to change their life.”
