SmartShape provides Gastric Sleeve, Mini Gastric Bypass, Revision Surgery, and LAP-BAND® weight loss procedures in Canada performed by our experienced, compassionate medical experts, but the key to our success lies in the 5 years of comprehensive lifestyle support every one of our patients receives: our 5-Year AfterCare Success Program.
