Being overweight is a global epidemic contributing to many other health problems, increased medical expenses, and a lower quality of life. Weight loss surgery is a tool that can change your life. Have you tried every diet, struggled to lose weight, and only gain it back? Do you feel like you are trapped in a weight gain cycle? Overweight people become resistant to maintaining weight loss achieved
by conventional therapies such as: diet, exercise, and commercial weight loss programs due to metabolic issues. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) have recognized that bariatric (weight loss) surgery is an effective weight loss treatment with long-term weight loss. WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY CAN CHANGE YOUR HEALTH AND EXTEND YOUR LIFE. One operation can change your life and you can live the life you want. Say goodbye to: type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, certain types of cancer, sleep apnea, and other diseases preventable by weight loss. If you are asking yourself, “Am I a candidate for weight loss surgery?”, Texas Center will partner with you in determining if bariatric surgery is right for you. Dr. Cribbins assess each patient on an individual basis when determining if they qualify for weight loss surgery, and help guide them to determine which procedure is best for them. Dr. Cribbins is a board-certified Da Vinci bariatric surgeon that specializes in surgical and non-surgical weight loss. He believes that excellence in performing surgery, and the medical weight management of patients, is derived from: education, training, experience, and treating patients like family. Texas Center surgeons perform the most current ultra minimally invasive Da Vinci surgical procedures in our state-of-the-art operating rooms to treat both their bariatric and general surgery patients. Ultra Minimally invasive surgery allows surgeons to use techniques that limit the size and number of incisions, which lessens pain and scarring for the patient. Ultra minimally invasive surgery also leads to fewer complications, shorter hospital stay, easier recovery, and less time away from work and other daily activities than traditional laparoscopic surgical procedures do. Dr. Cribbins is highly trained in robotic surgery for both general surgery and bariatric procedures. The technology on the Da Vinci robotic surgical system provides the surgeon with 3DHD magnified vision and true depth perception. This allows the surgeon to see beyond the capability of the naked eye. The Da Vinci surgical system also allows the surgeon increased precision and a greater range of motion while operating. This translates to even better results for patients and takes minimally invasive surgery to a whole new level. We focus on thorough exams and checking your total health before performing any procedures. We also know that surgery is never routine, no matter how many times we have performed such procedures. We never take for granted that you have placed a great deal of confidence in us. For this reason, a review of your medical history, current health, your expectations for your surgery, and all questions are answered before proceeding with surgery. For our bariatric patients, our hospitals are MBSAQIP accredited centers by the American Society For Metabolic And Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS). The ASMBS awards this MBSAQIP designation to leaders in the field who provide exceptional patient care, demonstrate superior surgical skill, and extraordinary hospital facilities. We take tremendous pride in this honor. Only a select few hospitals in the country have been able to achieve this accreditation. We have built a foundation of trust by treating patients like family, and it is the hallmark to our success. Texas Center staff have received comprehensive training, and our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care, and the compassion you need to make your visits and surgery as comfortable and pleasant as possible. If you have decided you are ready to take the step towards a reliable and permanent weight loss solution, then weight loss surgery is for you.
