Why consider bariatric surgery?

Obesity increases your risk of potentially life-threatening, weight-related diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. These diseases make normal daily activities difficult, are expensive to treat and significantly decrease life expectancy.

For residents of Dallas, weight loss surgery is the most effective method for helping people who have been unsuccessful at losing weight using diet and exercise alone. Bariatric surgery enables patients to lose a significant amount of weight and maintain that loss over the long term.

Is bariatric surgery the right choice for you?

Undergoing weight loss surgery is a major decision that will permanently alter your life. To be successful, you must be prepared to make permanent changes to many of your present behaviors. People who make these lifestyle changes achieve significant weight loss and experience increased health, greater mobility and improved self-esteem and self-confidence.

How much weight can you expect to lose?

Your final weight loss depends on your starting weight, the current state of your health and your ability to adhere to lifestyle changes. The more effort you put in, the more successful you will be at achieving and maintaining optimal weight loss.

LAP-BAND

In the United States, clinical trials indicate that patients lose an average of 58% excess weight lost and maintained at 5 years. It is important to remember that the LAP-BAND System is an aid to support you in achieving lasting results by limiting food intake, reducing appetite and slowing digestion. However, for the ultimate success of the operation it is very important that you play an active part in the effort to lose weight and keep it off by adopting a different lifestyle and eating pattern for the rest of your life.

Sleeve Gastrectomy

Sleeve gastrectomy patients normally experience weight loss at similar rates to LAP-BAND patients. Some studies suggest that the sleeve gastrectomy can achieve weight loss results similar to gastric bypass with between 60% and 80% loss of excess weight.
