Total Wellness has the only weight loss surgery program in Texas to offer this innovative approach, and we feel confident it will follow in the footsteps of Dr. McCarty’s previous innovations with widespread acceptance within the field of bariatric surgery in the years to come.

Gastric Bypass

Long considered the “Gold Standard” of weight loss operations, a gastric bypass procedure creates a small stomach pouch that is reconnected to the small intestine. The stomach is reduced from about the size of a football to the size of a lemon, or 30cc.

The remainder of the stomach is “bypassed” along with the first port of the small intestine. This results in a reduced volume of food that can be ingested and limits intestinal absorption. Thus, it is considered a restrictive and malabsorptive operation, and supplemental calcium, iron, and vitamin B12 are needed.

Recent advances with the gastric sleeve operation have decreased the popularity of gastric bypass, particularly in the case of the Mini Sleeve®, which can be performed with fewer risks, faster recovery, improved long-term outcomes and with little need for vitamin or micronutrient supplements.

Surgical Revisions

Put simply, the “perfect” weight loss operation does not exist nor has it ever. All weight loss operations have limitations and weight regain can occur for a variety of reasons. If this has happened in your life, we want you to realize that you are not alone, you haven’t “failed,” and help is available.

In addition, much has been learned about weight regain over the past few years and effective treatment options are now available.
