DFW Bariatrics and General Surgery: Bariatric and General Surgery in Dallas-Fort Worth

DFW Bariatrics and General Surgery is a surgical center based in Dallas, Texas, also operating in Plano and Mansfield. Founded in 2016 by Dr. Sachin Kukreja, the team consists of bariatric and general surgeons Sachin Kukreja, Elizabeth Hooper, and Rebecca Barr, along with physician assistant Jillian R, PA-C. The practice presents itself as a leader in minimally invasive surgical solutions in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.

Bariatric Surgery Procedures

The center offers a wide range of weight loss interventions, including:

• Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding, a reversible procedure that adjusts stomach size to control intake.
• Gastric Bypass, which reroutes the digestive system to promote significant weight loss and improve metabolic profile.
• Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch, which combines restrictive and malabsorptive techniques for profound results.
• One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass, a streamlined technique that reduces intestinal alterations.
• Sleeve Gastrectomy, which significantly reduces stomach size to promote weight loss and improve overall health.
• Single Anastomosis Duodenoileal Bypass (SADI), which optimizes weight loss with minimal intestinal rerouting.
• Single Intestinal Pylorus Sparing Duodenal Switch (SIPS), which preserves the pylorus for natural stomach emptying.
• Revisional Bariatric Surgery, to address previous interventions, optimize results, and correct complications.

General Surgery and Specialized Procedures

In addition to bariatric surgery, the team performs general and gastrointestinal surgery, with specialized care for digestive issues. The offering includes hernia surgery using minimally invasive techniques, robotic surgery for greater precision and faster recovery, treatment and surgery for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and panniculectomy surgery to remove the pannus.

Non-Surgical and Medical Weight Loss

The center also offers non-surgical and medical alternatives for weight management. These include personalized medical plans, the Orbera gastric balloon (fluid-filled), the Obalon balloon system (gas-filled), endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (a non-surgical procedure that reshapes the stomach), and Ideal Protein meal replacements. Metabolic testing is also performed to design weight management strategies tailored to each patient.

Patient Approach and Resources

The practice presents a holistic approach that, in addition to surgical interventions, aims to provide patients with knowledge and resources to make sustainable healthy choices. The website indicates that the DFW Bariatrics vitamin and supplement store is available for patients. A free bariatric surgery webinar is also offered, live or recorded, and an online support group. The company operates in Dallas, Plano, and Mansfield.
