Fox Bariatrics Now Offering Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Dallas

Feb. 25, 2013 - PRLog -- One of Dallas’ most renowned bariatric surgery centers, Fox Bariatrics, is announcing the addition of a new surgical procedure.

Dr. Louis Fox will now offer the sleeve gastrectomy procedures to patients who qualify.

The sleeve gastrectomy, also known as gastric sleeve (http://foxbariatrics.com/sleeve-gastrectomy), is a procedure in which the stomach is reduced to about a quarter of its original size. Through the size reduction, the stomach restricts that amount of food required to make a patient feel full, therefore reducing caloric intake. The surgery also removes a portion of the stomach which holds Ghrelin, or the “hunger hormone” that tells us when we’re hungry.

Along with the announcement of the new procedure, Fox Bariatrics is also debuting a new website. FoxBariatrics.com (http://foxbariatrics.com/), formally http://LapBand4U.com, is now home to pages and pages of resources for bariatric surgery Dallas patients.

The website offers patients numerous FAQs about gastric sleeve surgery, lap band surgery, and bariatric surgery in general, as well as patient testimonials and insight into illness that morbid obesity may cause.

Dr. Louis Fox, a board-certified bariatric surgeon, is the head surgeon at the Fox Bariatric Center and has performed hundreds of bariatric procedures.

“We are excited to be providing this surgical option to our patients,” said Dr. Fox. “So far, we’ve seen great results and have heard positive feedback from our patients.”

Fox Bariatric Center, located in Dallas, Texas, has helped many weight loss surgery candidates in the surrounding cities and states.
