Round Rock, Texas

Southwest Bariatric Surgeons has the only surgeons in the Austin area performing restrictive bariatric surgery for the treatment of obesity. Our surgeons are trained in both Gastric Bypass and Adjustable Gastric Banding using the Lap-Band" System. In addition, Southwest Bariatric Surgeons has an on-staff clinical dietitian who consults with patients both before and after surgery to foster weight loss success and good health.

Gastric Bypass
The other restrictive alternative is Gastric Bypass, either open or by laparoscopic means. Gastric Bypass involves creating a small stomach pouch that reduces how much food your stomach is able to hold. This procedure has both a restrictive and malabsorptive component. It's a more complex operation than the Lap-Band procedure and may require several days of hospitalization (barring complications) and up to several weeks of recovery.

The Lap-Band
The Lap-Band is an adjustable gastric banding system. Instead of cutting or stapling, the surgeons implant a restrictive device that is both adjustable and reversible. The device is implanted using laparoscopic surgery, a minimally invasive procedure, reducing hospital stays and recovery time (barring complications). Southwest Bariatric Surgeons has the only trained Lap-Band surgeons in the Austin/Central Texas region.

Laparoscopic or open bariatric surgery, such as gastric banding or bypass is not an easy solution to morbid obesity and weight loss. It is a serious surgical procedure, involving health risks. To produce lasting weight loss it requires a long-term patient commitment to eating a healthy diet and following a regular program of physical exercise. Life-long use of nutritional supplements may also be necessary. So, before deciding, discuss your options fully with your doctor. © 2003-2008 Bariatric-Surgery.Info - Terms - Contact - Information - Resources - Add URL
