Texas Center for Bariatrics & Advanced Surgery exclusively uses the ultra-minimally invasive da Vinci surgical system for bariatric and general surgery. This advanced surgical technology eclipses standards set by older technologies, such as traditional laparoscopic surgery.
While laparoscopy was once heralded for its “minimally” invasive capabilities, the da Vinci raises the standard of minimally invasive care with a high-definition 3D view for the bariatric surgeon. Da Vinci’s smaller incisions and greater precision mean less pain, reduced scarring, and faster healing.
After a gastric bypass, you will have increased energy, improved health, and greatly boosted confidence, allowing you to go out and live a full, active life.

Our most requested procedure removes about 80% of the stomach, reducing hunger hormones and helping patients lose weight steadily and sustainably.

Gastric bypass surgery is one of the most popular and reliable procedures for helping patients achieve healthy, sustainable weight loss.

The most powerful bariatric operation available, combining a sleeve with intestinal rerouting for patients who need the greatest weight loss.

If a previous weight loss surgery has stalled or caused complications, a revision can restore your results and get you back on track.

Safe removal of an adjustable gastric band, often converted in the same operation to a sleeve or bypass for lasting results.

Physician-supervised medical weight loss programs, including GLP-1 medications and nutrition coaching, for patients not ready for surgery.
Your BMI (Body Mass Index) is one of the key factors in determining whether you’re a candidate for bariatric surgery. Use the calculator to find out where you stand — then reach out and we’ll help you explore your options.
You’ll feel inspired from the first time you step into the warm, welcoming environment of our weight loss centers. From valet parking to the dedicated team that guides you on your weight loss path, New York Bariatric Group is here to make every step as easy as possible.
Find answers to what matters most as you consider your next step forward.
Bariatric surgery is typically an option for people with a BMI of 27 or greater, especially with obesity-related conditions. The best way to find out is a consultation — we’ll review your health history and goals together.
Most patients return home the same day or the next morning, and are back to normal activities within one to two weeks. Da Vinci’s smaller incisions mean less pain and faster healing than traditional approaches.
We regularly help patients who had bariatric surgery at another practice — whether you need revision surgery or simply ongoing care, we’ll meet you where you are.
Our team is here to answer your questions and guide you toward the care you deserve.
