Dr. Kureshi is a Harvard-trained weight loss surgeon with many years of experience and has performed thousands of weight loss surgeries all over the Dallas-Ft Worth area. He is a native Texan who grew up in the Houston area and attended Rice University. He completed medical school at Texas Tech University School of Medicine in Lubbock. He then went on to do his general surgery residency at the University of Connecticut in Hartford, CT where his interest in bariatric surgery and laparoscopic surgery began. He then completed the Harvard Bariatric and Minimally Invasive Surgery Fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

Dr. Kureshi performs all types of weight loss surgery including laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, laparoscopic gastric bypass, laparoscopic duodenal switch and Lap-Band. Dr. Kureshi will be performing the patented and trademarked Mini Sleeve® and sleeve revisions as well.

He also does revisions of previous failed weight loss procedures, including the new laparoscopic mini-bypass surgery which can be done as an outpatient and is especially beneficial for those who have regained weight after a previous sleeve gastrectomy. The “mini-bypass” is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is performed through just a few small incisions and leads to excellent weight loss for those who did not lose much weight with a previous weight loss surgery or for those who have regained weight since their initial surgery. Most patients can go home the same day after a “mini-bypass” and are able to return to work and normal activities within a week after surgery. The average weight loss after a “mini-bypass” is approximately 100-150 lbs. and has much less postoperative complications compared to a traditional gastric bypass.

Dr. Kureshi prides himself on providing service with a smile and personally takes care of all his patients’ needs. He firmly believes that the patient comes first and has built his reputation on that philosophy.
