Bariatric Surgeons

Francis D. Veninga, M.D.

Types of Obesity Surgery Performed

1. Lap-Band - Adjustable Gastric Banding
2. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, or RNY.

Dr.Veninga performs two different operations for sustained weight loss: the Lap-Band, and the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, or RNY. If a patient is morbidly obese and wishes to improve their health through sustained weight loss, it is unlikely he or she will be successful long term without surgical intervention. At present, weight loss surgery offers the best method to achieve this goal

During your initial consultation, you and Dr. Veninga will discuss both operations and answer your questions and concerns. Adjustable Gastric Banding is currently the most commonly performed procedure outside of North America for morbid obesity, and North Texas Bariatric favors the LAP-BAND System as the surgery of choice for morbid obesity. This is due to its lower morbidity and mortality with similar improvements of overall health. Please select one of the links above to learn more about these procedures.

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
