Weight Management
Surgical & Non-surgical Weight Loss Options
The caring and compassionate medical team at Methodist Health System is dedicated to offering the one-on-one support necessary to help you lose weight and gain health. Obesity increases risk factors for various health complications, such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea and more. When the risk becomes significant a doctor may recommend intervention from a weight management program or even bariatric surgery.
Weight loss options we offer:
The Methodist Health System Weight Loss Surgery Program offers minimally invasive weight loss surgery techniques will help you reach your weight goals and lead a healthy, active lifestyle. Minimally invasive surgery options include:
- Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery
- Gastric sleeve surgery
- Duodenal Switch
Just like bariatric surgery, endobariatric procedures are tools to help achieve weight loss and improve overall health and require no abdominal incisions. These procedures are performed using an endoscope, which is a flexible tube with a light, camera, and tiny surgical instruments attached to access a person's stomach and digestive tract via the mouth and throat. Types of endobariatric procedures include:
- Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)
- Intragastric Balloon (IGB)
A bariatric "revisional" surgery is a procedure correcting a complication of a prior bariatric weight loss surgery and/or modifying a prior bariatric surgery to reestablish its effectiveness as a metabolic and weight loss tool. These procedures are performed on individuals who have already undergone weight-loss surgery that has lead to complications or has not resulted in significant weight loss. Revisional surgery is generally laparoscopic or robotic, unless there is scarring from the previous surgery.
