Millions of American struggle with their weight.

If you're struggling with health issues related to obesity and you've tried to lose weight and failed, you're not alone. Fortunately, with bariatric surgery, you can change all that. At Texas Bariatric Specialists in San Antonio Texas, Dr. Nilesh A. Patel, MD can help you find a quality of life that you haven't known for years.

A common bariatric surgery is a gastric bypass. In a bypass surgery, surgeons reroute your digestive system and reduce the size of the stomach pouch in order to make the body think it is full more quickly, thereby reducing the amount of caloric intake and, when combined with proper diet and exercise, lowering the patient's weight. Although less reversible than procedures like LAP BAND gastric banding surgery, bypass surgery is capable of shedding more weight than laparoscopic banding. Patients who are considered morbidly obese will often need to pursue this line of bariatric surgery.

Surgery for weight loss and obesity performed at Texas Bariatric Specialists includes the following:

- LAP BAND Gastric Banding System
- Gastric Bypass
- Roux-en-y Surgery
- Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic Surgery
