The Medical City Bariatric Program has been designated as a Center of Excellence by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery.

It's reassurance you can trust.

Choosing to have bariatric surgery is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. But once you do, the decision of which facility you should turn to for this life-altering procedure and your post-surgical care becomes just as critical.

So we invite you to consider this:
Medical City offers the most experienced bariatric physicians in Dallas, the full range of surgical options, a life-long commitment to your post-surgical needs and the comfort of having a hospital of specialists standing by should any complications arise. And finally, the reassurance of being named a Center of Excellence. Which also means, in most cases, your medical costs will be covered by insurance.

The safest way to tip the scales in your favor.
If you’re overweight by 100 pounds or more, or have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, you’ve probably thought about weight-loss (bariatric) surgery. Bariatric procedures are rapidly gaining a reputation as a quick fix for obesity. But beware: All bariatric surgery is life-changing surgery. And to be effective and healthy long-term, it requires disciplined follow-up for the rest of your life. If you want to find the right program for your needs, delivered in the safest possible environment, talk to the specialists at Medical City. Our physicians have the longest history of bariatric surgery success in Dallas, so they can help you choose the best options.

One size does not fit all.
Over the last several years, a variety of surgical procedures have been developed to help people with exceptional weight problems. All have pros and cons, and some are better than others for specific patients.

While many weight-loss clinics specialize in one or two techniques, Medical City has specialists who can perform all of them. The right surgery for your needs will be determined by you and your doctor after an in-depth consultation. But the right surgery is only the first step in effective obesity treatment. The lifestyle changes required by these procedures can sometimes be challenging. That’s why Medical City provides unsurpassed counseling and support long after the surgery is completed.

Managing risk, maximizing rewards.
There’s no doubt that bariatric surgery can be life-changing and often life-saving. But none of the procedures are risk-free. For individuals who have tried diet, exercise and weight-loss medications without the desired results, bariatric surgery is often the treatment of last resort for restoring a healthy weight. Complications during and after surgery can happen. That’s why it’s a good idea to have bariatric surgery at a full-service hospital. With over 1,200 physicians practicing more than 95 specialties, Medical City always has experts on-site in case they’re needed.

A complete plan for better health.
Candidates for bariatric surgery often have a variety of other weight-related health issues. These can include diabetes, heart disease, respiratory problems and depression. Medical City has leading specialists that can treat all of these conditions and more. Our bariatric surgeons often work closely with other specialists to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that not only reduces weight but works toward a goal of better overall health for each patient.

A lifetime of support.
Bariatric surgery only works when it is the first step in series of lifestyle changes. For some patients, these changes can be more challenging than the surgery itself. That’s why Medical City offers follow-up care that includes dietitians, counselors, support groups and regular checkups. We have found that this type of ongoing care leads to more successful, satisfied patients, while minimizing many of the difficulties they face.
