Texas Weight Loss Surgery Procedures


The following are the weight loss surgery options available at AIBL to you. About 98% of all our weight loss procedures are performed using the laparoscopic approach. Please click on individual links to learn more about each procedure.

Gastric Bypass

This is designated the gold standard of bariatric surgery. One of the most common weight loss surgeries performed.

 
 

Lap-band

Lapband is the most common weight loss surgery procedure worldwide. It also is the safest of all bariatric procedures and the band opening is adjustable to suit individual needs.

 
 

Single Incision
Lap-band

A trans-umbilical LAP-BAND® weight loss surgery procedure that requires no special instruments or equipment. This single incision laparoscopic technique eliminates virtually all visible scarring on the abdomen.

 
 

Duodenal Switch

This option gives you the best long-term weight loss. However it has a higher complication rate and the patients need lifelong follow-up.

 
 

Sleeve Gastrectomy

Relatively new procedure. Very good results for weight loss. Long-term weight loss results not available yet. Very low risk of long term complications.

 
 

Stomaphyx

"NOTES" technology based endoscopic procedure performed without any incisions at all! This outpatient procedure is used for revision in Gastric bypass patients that have either gained weight or never achieved their goal weight.

 
 

Plastic Surgery

AIBL offers abdominoplasty and comprehensive post bariatric body-contouring procedures for our patients in conjunction with AIBL affiliated plastic surgeons.

 
 

Diabetes Surgery

If Diabetes type 2 is accompanied by Obesity most of the surgical procedures AIBL offers will result in an excellent chance to resolve diabetes, and therefore patients are off all of the diabetic medications.

 
 

Revisions for failed procedures

We do perform revisions of previous procedures for inadequate weight loss, complications related to previous surgery or technical failure of the procedure leading to weight regain. Majority of these can be performed using the laparoscopic approach.

 
 

Staged Procedures

For very high risk patients staged procedures may be appropriate to reduce the risk and improve overall outcomes.

 
 

Open Bariatric Surgery

When laparoscopy is not an option open procedure is performed.
