Medical Weight-Loss and The Back on Track Program

1. Pick your location:

Texas Bariatric Specialists also provides a medical weight-loss program. The program was developed for two purposes.

We acknowledge that surgical weight-loss is not necessarily the best option for all patients. This may be based upon your overall weight-loss goals, based upon the risks of weight loss surgery or maybe based upon the fact that you're just not “ready” yet and as a result medical weight-loss is it is still a very good option for many patients.
Many surgical weight loss patients will either plateu too early or succumb to weight regain.

Our program is a comprehensive program with a full time nutritionist. We are strongly committed in minimizing the amount of medications given for weight-loss and try to instill a new lifestyle. These behavioral changes will be better suited for long-term weight loss. We will perform a nutritional evaluation and then come up with a customized weight-loss program which is based upon your strengths and weaknesses. You'll be able to interact with our office via an online portal. This portal will assist us to provide for you a customized meal plan. In addition, you will be offered metabolic testing to completely evaluate your basal metabolic needs. This testing is available at all of our offices and with our partner company JK fitness.

Back on Track Program
Our Back on Track Program is a program that is especially designed for patients with our practice and from other practices whose weight loss has plateaued too early or you suffer with weight regain after having a weight-loss surgery. Neither one of these two situations is hopeless, however, prompt recognition and immediate intervention via our office is required in order for us to make the biggest difference.

Our Back on Track Program includes a nutritional evaluation, micronutrient assessment, possible metabolic testing and possible customized meal plans in order to be able to come up with a customized plan of care. Often weight regain and premature plateau of weight-loss occur due to just not doing the basic things anymore in terms of meal sizes and supplements. Sometimes inadequate lap band fills or mechanical issues that need to be addressed by a surgeon can lead to these issues as well. The Back on Track Program is supervised by Dr. Patel himself to assure the most aggressive care plan as possible. To get started email info@bypassdoc.com or ann.sager@bypassdoc.com.
