NON-SURGICAL WEIGHT LOSS
At Weight Loss Specialists of North Texas, we offer a range of non surgical weight loss programs.
Whether you are hoping to shed a few pounds for an upcoming event, want to lose those pesky last few pounds or are just looking for a tune-up after bariatric surgery, Weight Loss Specialists of North Texas will work with you to provide individualized nutrition therapy to help you meet your goals.
MALABSORPTIVE WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY
These operations will generally result in greater weight loss than restrictive operations. The drawback is that they have a higher risk of vitamin deficiency so supplements must be taken.
These operations are ideal for those with Insulin dependent diabetes or BMI over 45-50.
Examples of Malabsorptive Weight Loss Surgeries are Duodenal Switch (DS) and Gastric Bypass

RESTRICTIVE WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY
Some bariatric surgery procedures work solely by restricting the amount of food and therefore calories a person can take in. These procedures focus on changing the size of the stomach in some way and do not have an associated intestinal component to the surgery.
Examples of Restrictive Weight Loss Surgeries are Sleeve Gastrectomy and Lap Band.

REVISIONAL SURGERY
Sadly, there is no weight loss plan that is successful 100% of the time in every single person. If you have had weight loss surgery and find yourself back where you started (or close to it) do NOT despair.
Revisional surgery can be performed. Dr Ayoola specializes in weight regain after the gastric bypass or gastric sleeve surgeries. At Weight Loss Specialists of North Texas we also remove and convert the lab band procedure.
REVISIONS AVAILABLE
- Gastric bypass or Sleeve Gastrectomy conversion to Duodenal Switch
- Lap band conversion to Sleeve Gastrectomy, Bypass or Duodenal Switch
- Vertical banded gastropastly (VGB) conversion to Sleeve, Bypass or Duodenal Switch
- Other revisions as clinically indicated
