Since founding the New York Bariatric Group (NYBG) 22 years ago, Dr. Shawn Garber has performed thousands of gastric bypass and Lap-Band procedures and helped develop a single incision sleeve gastrectomy technique that has become an industry standard. His work with gastric balloons is extensive; his opinions and medical advice regularly quoted on the news and talk show circuits.
