The IGS®
What Makes OCC’s IGS® Approach Different
IGS® stands for Improved Gastric Sleeve — OCC’s exclusive approach to gastric sleeve surgery, developed by the surgical team behind 30,000+ procedures and 25 years of bariatric practice.
A calibrated, standardized technique
Every IGS® procedure follows a precise, measured protocol — the Advanced Calibrated Procedure — so the approach is consistent from patient to patient.
Board-certified surgical team
Performed by board-certified surgeons at OCC — accredited with the JCI Gold Seal of Approval®.
Part of a complete pathway
Structured nutrition guidance and a five-year follow-up program are built into the plan — not add-ons.
Who May Consider Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Gastric sleeve surgery is generally evaluated for adults whose weight has been difficult to manage through other approaches. Candidacy depends on your BMI, health history, and goals — and it is always confirmed through a medical evaluation, never assumed.
A medical evaluation is required to determine whether gastric sleeve surgery — and the IGS® approach — may be appropriate for you.

In OCC’s current example, a complete gastric sleeve pathway works out to about $4 a day on a 48-month plan — through third-party lenders. You can apply or ask a coordinator about current plans.
