April 18th, 2011

Hugh Babineau - Tyler Bariatric Surgeon

When considering Lap Band surgery you now have safer choices that were not available 5 years ago.

Post-op statistics show tragic numbers of lap band patients having life terminating complications that cut their life short.

A consultation on multiple weight loss surgery options is the best way to begin your look into lap band and other weight loss surgery choices in Tyler TX.

Hugh Babineau is one lap band surgery Tyler TX doctor but there are others. I recommend contacting Hugh and atleast 5 more doctors and put together the pros and cons of each surgeons methods, history, and recent updates to how they perform their medical procedures. Ask for statistics on post operation complications for those who have had Tyler TX lap band surgery.

Weight Loss Surgeons Tyler TX

Bariatric surgery seems like a scary prospect even if you are obese. It is true that once you get to a certain point you are told by your doctor you very likely may not live past 35.

 

A friend of mine who is only 24 was told this based on his weight gain and I really hope he loses weight and hopefully without going through a risky procedure like Tyler TX bariatric surgery.

Some types of bariatric surgeries involve removing a big part of your stomach. There can be some pretty severe complications that result in going through this weight loss surgery and I recommend you try everything you can before you decide to do this procedure.

There are some newer weight loss surgery techniques like lap band surgery that simply puts a band on part of your stomach without actually cutting anything away. This procedure seems a little safer than actually tearing part of your stomach out of your body.

Tyler TX Weight Loss

If I were in this very hard situation of trying to decide on a Tyler TX weight loss surgeon I would probably talk to a weight loss surgery consultant who has been through a procedure or two.

They have likely researched the topic for several days if not months and have some great advice to give you since they have been there and done that.

Tyler, Texas Lap Band Surgery for Weight Loss

July 22nd, 2010

Tyler Texas Lap Band SurgeryThe Lap-Band surgical procedure for weight loss is a surprisingly simple yet revolutionary form of bariatric surgery designed for people who are at least 100 pounds overweight.  Rather than removing all except a small portion of the stomach or stapling like traditional bariatric surgery, the Lap-Band system works by placing a band around the stomach to control how much a patient is able to eat at one time, as well as helping the patient to stay fuller longer.  Furthermore, the Lap-Band is available in 2 sizes with a wide range of adjustable settings that allow for a patient and their doctor to achieve the perfect size for each unique situation.

Although the Lap-Band procedure is much less invasive than traditional bariatric surgery, it is still surgery and must be performed by a qualified Tyler, Texas lap band doctor.  The procedure is usually done laparoscopically, oftentimes on an outpatient basis, and generally takes only about one hour to complete.  There are much fewer risks involved with the Lap-Band surgery than with other methods for surgical weight loss, but there are still risks.  It is a good idea for patients to discuss these risks with their Tyler, Texas physician before deciding if the Lap-Band surgery for weight loss is the right course of action.

As effective as Lap-Band surgery for weight loss in Tyler, Texas is, one must still adhere to a set of special rules for diet in order to keep the weight off.  Any program will fail if not followed properly.

Although we do have very good information on weight loss surgery and doctor’s in East TX and Tyler we can also direct you to those doctor’s that may serve your needs better within and outside the state of Texas. There are many things to consider when deciding on weight loss treatment surgery.

You want to make sure that you are not necessarily going to the weight loss surgeon in Tyler that has done the most surgeries. Many times these surgeries that are done in large volume fail to consider new technology and advances in science. Although they may have done more surgeries than anyone else there could be future complications down the road because they did not stay updated on less risky procedures.

An example of surgeries that have been done in large volume but failed to realize long lasting results are with laser eye surgery. There is a doctor in Dallas who advertised laser eye surgery for years on radio, TV, and billboards and claimed to have done the most in Texas. We have personally talked to some of these patients who have already gone back to their previous vision loss prior to the eye laser surgery.

Weight loss and lap band surgery is much more risky than eye laser surgery. Your life is at stake with a massive undertaking as weight loss surgery and so it helps to speak with a weight loss surgery consultant that has personal surgical experience with this type of thing as well as many prescreened doctors to choose from.

We have prescreened Doctor’s available to treat patients from Longview, Athens, Jacksonville, Palestine, Kilgore, Marshall, Gilmer and several other locations in East Texas.
