Corpus Christi Weight Loss Surgery | Texas Medical Weight Loss Center

The obesity rate in Corpus Christi, Texas is dangerously high, as it is in the entire United States. If you find yourself among the many people who struggle with being severely overweight and traditional diet and exercise plans have failed, you may be a candidate for weight loss surgery. Also known as bariatric surgery, these procedures can help you lose the extra weight that can cause serious health problems and decreased quality of life.

Currently, there are two basic approaches to weight loss surgery: restrictive operations and operations that combine restriction and malabsorption. Restrictive procedures (such as a adjustable gastric banding (Lap-Band®) and sleeve gastrectomy) simply limit the amount of food that a person can eat at one time. Combination procedures (such as gastric bypass) help give patients the feeling of satisfaction from only a small amount of food and lessen the amount of calories that are absorbed from the food eaten.
