Treatment Options
We offer five types of bariatric weight loss surgery to our patients: gastric bypass surgery, sleeve gastrectomy, LAP-BAND surgery, REALIZE Band surgery, and duodenal switch surgery. One of the finest weight loss doctors in Dallas, Dr. Barker also performs revisional surgery to improve results of previous procedures. Our practice firmly believes in the importance of education, which is why we make sure our patients are informed about weight loss surgery and what each operation entails. When you visit our bariatric surgery center for a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Barker, he will discuss all options and help you decide if one of them is right for you. As both a gastric bypass and LAP-BAND/REALIZE surgeon, Dr. Barker is uniquely qualified to advise patients about the benefits and risks of each procedure.
Please explore our website and let us know if we can answer any questions you may have.
LAP-BAND/Realize Band Surgery
LAP-BAND/Realize Band surgery is a safe and effective weight loss procedure that is ideal for patients who may face a higher risk of gastric bypass post-op complications. more
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Dr. Wade Barker performs laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. Depending on your health and your weight loss goals, Dr. Barker will recommend the procedure that is right for you. more
Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery
Like other forms of weight loss surgery, sleeve gastrectomy reduces the capacity of the stomach in order to help obese patients lose weight. Dr. Barker offers gastric sleeve surgery as an option for his surgical weight loss patients. more
Duodenal Switch Surgery
The primary advantage of duodenal switch (DS) surgery is that its combination of moderate intake restriction with substantial calorie malabsorption results in a very high percentage of excess weight loss for obese individuals. more
Revisional Surgery
If you have experienced poor weight loss, weight regain or complications from a prior bariatric procedure, Dr. Barker also performs bariatric surgery revision to alter or repair the initial weight loss surgery.
