Candidacy
If you are considering undergoing obesity surgery, it is important to understand what makes a good candidate. Although each patient’s candidacy must ultimately be decided on a case-by-case basis, there are certain basic requirements that must always be met. Visit our Candidacy page to learn more.
Gastric Banding
Gastric banding is a technique that uses either the LAP-BAND® System or the REALIZE™ Band to restrict the amount of food that can be consumed. We offer both of these obesity surgery options at our practice serving Arlington, Dallas, and Fort Worth. Visit our Gastric Banding page to learn how these products work.
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
The gold standard in weight loss surgery, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass was originally a very invasive procedure that involved a long and uncomfortable recovery period. Using laparoscopic techniques, Dr. Glenn Ihde can perform this highly effective procedure through five very small incisions, dramatically reducing the amount of recovery time and discomfort that the patient must endure. Visit our Gastric Bypass page to find out how this procedure is performed.
Gastric Sleeve
Among the newest obesity surgery techniques available, the gastric sleeve operation, also known as a sleeve gastrectomy, is a procedure that involves the surgical reduction of the stomach. Only a handful of surgeons offer this innovative weight loss surgery option. Learn more by visiting our Gastric Sleeve page.
Revision Surgery
On occasion, a weight loss surgery procedure fails to help the patient lose the desired amount of weight. If the patient is doing his or her part and the weight loss is not adequate, it may be necessary to further reduce the size of the stomach. This can be achieved in a few different ways, depending on the type of procedure originally performed. Visit our Obesity Surgery Revision page to learn more.
Life after Surgery
For many, the most difficult stage of bariatric surgery is not the procedure itself, but the dramatic changes in lifestyle that must occur after the surgery has been completed. At Minimally Invasive Bariatrics, we make sure that we provide thorough and straightforward information to all of our patients to prepare them for these changes. Learn what some of these changes are by visiting our page about life after surgery.
Post-bariatric Care
Once the surgery is complete, the real bariatric experience begins. At Minimally Invasive Bariatrics, we are invested in our patients’ success and we know that the quality of follow-up care is key to patients’ ability to cope with their new lifestyles and reach their goals. We offer a range of Post-bariatric programs and services to help our patients through this transitional period. Visit our Post-bariatric Care page to learn more.
