Severe obesity is a serious disease.   It contributes to many life-threatening illnesses and to psychological and social problems, and can shorten life.  Losing weight is difficult for many people, especially for those who are severely overweight.  

In March of 1980, gastric segmentation, one of the safest bariatric operations was developed at Spring Branch Medical Center.  Since then more than 7,600 procedures have been performed at our hospital.  Our patients generally lose two thirds of their excess weight in the first year.  They can eat normal foods for the rest of their lives.  The gastric segmentation can help you live a healthier, happier and longer life.
