Bariatric Procedures We Offer
We offer a wide range of bariatric procedures in Southlake, which include:
Gastric Sleeve
It is a common weight loss procedure that removes a large portion of the stomach while creating a smaller stomach, which helps you feel full sooner.
SADI
SADI is an advanced bariatric procedure that combines stomach reduction with intestinal bypass. This helps limit your calorie intake while reducing hunger.
Duodenal Switch
This is a highly effective weight loss surgery that combines the gastric sleeve with a more extensive intestinal bypass.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass is a procedure where a small stomach pouch is created to reroute the digestive tract. This surgery reduces food intake and calorie absorption.
Gallbladder Removal
Gallbladder removal is a fairly typical operation used for treating gallstones and inflammation of the gallbladder.
Revision Surgery
This operation is ideal for individuals who suffer from complications or weight gain following a previous bariatric surgery.
