Weight Loss Surgery Resources

Baylor Southwest offers online resources and FREE seminars so you can learn more about Weight Loss Surgery (WLS).

Weight Loss Surgery 

Losing Weight, Taking the First Step to a Healthier You

At Baylor Medical Center at Southwest Fort Worth we offer three weight loss surgery options for achieving a healthy weight. 

Types of Weight Loss Surgery 
  • Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
  • Lap-Band
  • Gastric Sleeve

Surgical weight loss is an option if you have a body mass index (BMI) greater than 35 with two major co-morbidities or have a BMI greater than 40 with or without major co-morbidities.

Our multi-disciplinary team of weight loss surgeons, nurses, dietitians, psychologists and program and insurance coordinators are dedicated to providing you with very good care. We also have education and support groups for both pre- and post-operative care.

Qualifying candidates must be willing to permanently change their lifestyle.  Weight loss surgery is not a quick fix; it requires a lifetime commitment.  Knowledge is key.
