✨ Beyond the Scale: Trivia of the Week ✨

Bariatric surgery is a powerful tool for weight loss, but long-term success relies on more than just the procedure. A healthy lifestyle—balanced nutrition, regular movement, and mindful habits—plays a key role in maintaining results and overall well-being. Surgery is just the beginning of the journey!

Did you know up to 50% of hiatal hernia repairs fail within 5 years—even in people with a normal BMI?

In this clip from a recent Instagram Live with BariNation and Sachin Kukreja, he breaks down why screening for hiatal hernias is a must before a sleeve or switch procedure—and how surgical choices can impact long-term success. 👇

🫁 Hernia repairs are challenged by constant movement of the diaphragm
⚠️ Higher BMI = higher pressure = higher failure rate
⚽ A football-shaped stomach behaves very differently than a narrow sleeve

👉 For patients with a hernia >3cm, a bypass may be the safer, long-term option.

“It was a special day when Dr. Steven Bonomo, my mentor from Chicago and a fellow Rush University Medical Center alum, flew down from Cook County to observe cases on the robotic platform here in Dallas. Although the original plan was for him to watch me, true to his nature, he stepped right back into the role of mentor—offering insight and steady guidance through a challenging revisional case. It was an honor to have him in the OR and a full-circle moment to share this experience with someone who helped shape my surgical journey. Huge thanks to Neil Ebner, Julia Payne, and Victoria Norwood from Intuitive for organizing the visit and bringing both Dr. Bonomo and Florence, their incredible bariatric coordinator (and my former coordinator), down to see what we’re doing at DFW Bariatrics and General Surgery MEDICAL CITY DALLAS. Grateful for the opportunity to learn, reconnect, and continue pushing the field of bariatric surgery forward—together.” —Dr. Kukreja

"I had my DS surgery last September, Dr. Kukreja and his staff have been with me every step of this journey. I am down 131 pounds since last July and I feel great. I am off all meds and can run and do things that I haven't been able to do since my younger days!!! I don't think I could have done this without the support and guidance from Dr. Kukreja and his staff." says J on Google
