Gastrointestinal Surgeries Performed at DFW
Bariatrics and General Surgery

• Gastrointestinal surgeries are performed for the
  treatment of diseases that affect the digestive
  tract and related organs. The organs that are
  treated through gastrointestinal surgeries are
  the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and rectum.

• The procedures may involve removing a part of the
  body to eliminate cancerous growth or help with
  health problems such as excess weight.
• Lets look at the gastrointestinal surgeries
  performed by the experienced surgeons at DFW
  Bariatrics and General Surgery.
• Anti-Reflux Surgery
• GERD, or Acid reflux surgery, is a digestive
  condition in which the digestive acids from the
  stomach flow back to the esophagus and result in
  heartburn. It can also be caused by hiatal
  hernia, a condition in which the stomach pushes
  through the diaphragm, a muscle that separates
  the abdomen from the chest. Fundoplication is a
  laparoscopic surgical procedure in which a
  surgeon fixes the hernia, if there is one, and
  wraps the stomach around the lower esophagus to
  strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter to
  prevent acid reflux.

• Gastric Bypass
• Gastric bypass is a weight loss surgery performed
  on morbidly obese patients to help them attain
  sustainable weight loss and mitigate any health
  conditions related to obesity. In the first step
  of the procedure, the stomach is reduced in size
  to reduce food intake. In the second step, the
  stomach is connected to a part of the small
  intestine to curb the absorption of calories and
  nutrients. This helps in attaining long term
  weight loss goals.
• Sleeve Gastrectomy
• Sleeve gastrectomy is another weight loss surgery
  that is performed by the seasoned surgeons at DFW
  Bariatrics and General Surgery. During the
  procedure, a large portion of the stomach is
  removed, which leaves a tube shaped pouch. The
  procedure induces weight loss by restricting the
  amount of food the stomach can hold at a single
  time. This makes the patient eat less and lowers
  their calorie intake. It also has an impact on
  hunger affecting hormones and metabolism.

• Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch
• Duodenal Switch is a combination of gastric
  sleeve and gastric bypass. The procedure induces
  weight loss in morbidly obese patients with a BMI
  greater than 40 and is extremely effective for
  the treatment of diabetes. The procedure offers
  more rapid and long term weight loss results
  along with the resolution of obesity-related
  health conditions such as diabetes, GERD, sleep
  apnea, and heart diseases.
