## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do medical weight loss treatments work?

Our medical weight loss program combines prescription weight loss injections, IV therapy, and body contouring to support fat loss, metabolism, and muscle tone. Each treatment is customized to your goals and medical needs.

### Who is a good candidate for medical weight loss?

If you struggle with unwanted weight, slow metabolism, or difficulty maintaining weight loss, you may be a good candidate. We evaluate your medical history, lifestyle, and goals to create a tailored plan.

### What medications are used for weight loss?

We offer FDA-approved weight loss medications, including GLP-1 receptor agonists (such as semaglutide and tirzepatide) and lipotropic injections to help regulate appetite and enhance fat metabolism.

### What are GLP-1 medications, and how do they work?

GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), mimic natural hormones that regulate appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism. They slow digestion, reduce cravings, and help the body use insulin more efficiently, leading to steady weight loss.

### How much weight can I lose with tirzepatide?

Studies show that GLP-1 medications can help patients lose up to 15% of their body weight when combined with a X![Trusetd Source Checkbox](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/plugins/sources/assets/trusted.svg) Trusted SourceUnderstanding new weight loss drugsHarvard Medical School [Go to Source](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/medications#sources)balanced diet and exercise.
Results vary depending on individual metabolism, lifestyle, and adherence to the program.

### Is semaglutide safe for long-term use?

Yes, semaglutide and tirzepatide are FDA-approved for chronic weight management. They are generally safe when used under medical supervision, though some patients may experience mild side effects like nausea or digestive discomfort as their body adjusts.

### Do I need to follow a specific diet while taking weight loss injections?

While there’s no strict diet required, we recommend a balanced eating plan focused on lean protein, healthy fats, and fiber to support metabolism and minimize side effects. Our providers can offer guidance on nutrition and lifestyle changes to maximize your results.

### Can I stop taking semaglutide after reaching my goal weight?

Since GLP-1 medications help regulate appetite and metabolism, stopping them abruptly may cause weight regain. We create a long-term strategy to help you transition off medication safely while maintaining your progress.

### What other treatments can help with weight loss?

In addition to GLP-1 injections, we offer IV therapy for energy and metabolism support, as well as Emsculpt NEO to tone muscle and reduce fat. Many patients see the best results by combining multiple treatments for a comprehensive approach.

### How soon will I see results?

Results vary based on your body, lifestyle, and treatment plan. Many patients notice changes within a few weeks, with continued progress over several months.

### Can I combine treatments?

Yes! We often recommend combining weight loss injections, IV therapy, and Emsculpt NEO to maximize fat loss, boost energy, and improve body composition.

## How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal or reduction uses concentrated light to target and destroy hair follicles. The Diolaze diode laser emits a specific wavelength of light absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This light energy is converted to heat, which damages the follicle, inhibiting future hair X![Trusetd Source Checkbox](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/plugins/sources/assets/trusted.svg) Trusted SourceLaser hair removalMayo Clinic [Go to Source](https://www.expertsurgical.com/expert-wellness/laser-hair-removal#sources)growth.

Achieve smooth, hair-free skin with minimal discomfort and downtime

## Benefits of Laser Hair Removal with Diolaze

- Long-lasting results: Hair growth is significantly reduced and many patients have permanent results after multiple treatment sessions.
- Speed: Each laser pulse takes a fraction of a second and can treat multiple hairs simultaneously. Diolaze covers a large treatment area for quicker appointments.
- Less painful: Diolaze is specially designed for comfort, with a water-cooled gold plate applicator to prevent pain.


Convenience: Save time by reducing or eliminating the need for shaving or waxing.

## Your Diolaze Laser Hair Removal

### Preparing for Laser Hair Removal

There are a few things you can do to make your laser hair removal appointment successful. First, avoid excessive sun exposure in the weeks leading up to your appointment. You should also avoid waxing the area. However, you should plan to shave the area 2 days before your appointment so that there is small stubble when you come in.

### What Happens During Laser Hair Removal

The treatment area will be cleansed and prepped and then the provider will use a handheld laser device to deliver light pulses to the hair follicles. The length of each session depends on the size of the treatment area. Smaller areas can take just a few minutes, while larger areas may take up to an hour.

### Results and Recovery After Laser Hair Removal

Immediately after treatment, you may experience some temporary redness and swelling. Over the next few weeks, the treated hairs will fall out as the follicles are destroyed. For optimal results, 6-8 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, are necessary to treat all phases of the hair growth cycle.

## Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Hair Removal

### Am I a candidate for laser hair removal?

While advances in laser technology have made it possible to treat a wider range of skin tones and hair colors, and Diolaze is safe for all skin types, the procedure typically works best on individuals with dark hair and light skin.

### What areas can be treated with laser hair removal?

Diolaze works on almost any area that you would like hair removal, including the bikini line, legs, arms, chest, back, shoulders, stomach, neck, chin and sideburns.

### Is laser hair removal painful?

Some people describe the sensation as a mild pinching or snapping feeling, but many report feeling no pain at all. The cooling system in Diolaze helps minimize discomfort.

### How many sessions will I need?

Typically, 6-8 sessions are needed for optimal results. The number of sessions varies depending on the treatment area and individual hair growth patterns.

### Are there any side effects?

Temporary side effects include redness, swelling, and mild discomfort. Rarely, blistering, scarring, or changes in skin pigmentation may occur.

### Can I shave between sessions?

Yes, you can shave the treated area between sessions, but avoid waxing or plucking as they can disrupt the hair growth cycle targeted by the laser.

Lumecca IPL (intense pulsed light) treatment is used primarily for skin rejuvenation and improvement.

## How Lumecca IPL Works

Lumecca IPL works by delivering powerful pulses of light into the skin. The light energy is absorbed by pigmented cells and blood vessels, causing them to heat up and break down. Your body’s natural healing processes then removes these damaged cells, revealing a clearer, more even complexion over time. Lumecca IPL is particularly effective for:

- Reducing sunspots and age spots
- Zapping vascular lesions
- Treating rosacea and redness
- Minimizing freckles
- Improving skin texture and tone

## Benefits of Lumecca IPL

Lumecca IPL offers numerous benefits, making it a popular choice among patients looking to enhance their skin’s appearance:

- **Non-Invasive**: Lumecca IPL requires no surgery or incisions, making it a safe and convenient option.
- **Quick Treatments**: Sessions are typically short, allowing you to fit them into your busy schedule easily.
- **Minimal Downtime**: Most patients experience little to no downtime, making it easy to return to daily activities.
- **Long-Lasting Results**: By maintaining proper skincare, Lumecca IPL results can be long-lasting.

![beautiful mature woman with clear skin](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/lumecca-benefits-1.webp)

## What to Expect During Your Lumecca IPL Treatment

### Preparing for Lumecca IPL

Before your Lumecca IPL treatment, avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks. Ensure your skin is clean and free of lotions or makeup on the day of your appointment.

### The Lumecca IPL Treatment

During the procedure, a handheld device will deliver light pulses to the targeted areas. You may feel a mild snapping sensation. Lumecca IPL sessions typically take 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

### Lumecca IPL Recovery

After your treatment, you might experience some redness and mild swelling, which should subside within a few hours to a couple of days. It’s important to avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen to protect your skin as it heals.

## What is Vitamin Injection and IV Therapy?

A vitamin shot is a quick injection of concentrated vitamins and minerals directly into the body. IV (intravenous) therapy for wellness involves administering a combination of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients directly into the bloodstream through an IV drip. Because it offers a more efficient absorption of vitamins and minerals, injections and IV therapy can give you a more immediate and effective boost of nutrients. We offer personalized formulas to help with weight loss, skin, immunity defense, hydration, energy, and recovery after workouts.

![vitamin c iv drip](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/vitamin-injection.webp)

## Benefits of Vitamin IV Therapy and Vitamin Injections

Vitamin shots and IV therapy offer a range of potential benefits, including:

- Better Nutrient Absorption: By bypassing the digestive system, IV therapy and vitamin injections deliver nutrients directly into the bloodstream, which can allow for better absorption and utilization by the body.
- Enhanced Hydration: IV therapy can rapidly hydrate the body, making it beneficial for athletes, those recovering from illness, or individuals who are dehydrated. This can also be helpful for hangovers!
- Boosted Energy Levels: People report increased energy levels and improved overall well-being after receiving IV therapy, particularly if they were deficient in certain vitamins or minerals beforehand.
- Immune System Support: IV therapy and vitamin injections nutrients such as vitamin C and zinc may help boost the immune system, potentially reducing the risk of infections or aiding in recovery from illness.
- Customizable Formulations: IV therapy and vitamin injections can be customized to meet individual needs by adjusting the types and concentrations of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients in the IV solution.

### Your Vitamin Injection or IV Therapy Session

We will make sure you are comfortable for your IV or injection. While vitamin injections are quick, IV drips can take up to 60 minutes.

### After Vitamin Injection or IV Therapy Session

There is no downtime needed after an IV session or vitamin injection. Most people feel rejuvenated right away or very quickly after their IV or injection. If you bruise easily, you may notice mild bruising at the injection site.

### Who can benefit from vitamin shots and IV therapy?

Many different people may benefit from vitamin shots or IV therapy, including those with busy lifestyles, people who want to support weight loss, athletes looking to optimize performance and recovery, people experiencing fatigue, and those seeking overall health maintenance and improvement.

Board-certified bariatric surgeon and weight loss expert Dr. Scott Stowers and his team are here to guide you through every step of your weight loss journey. Whether you are considering [gastric sleeve](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/surgery/gastric-sleeve/), [gastric bypass](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/surgery/gastric-bypass/), or a [medically supervised weight loss program](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/medications/) with [weight loss medications](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/medications/), we are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals and transform your life. We are here to help patients in Frisco, DFW, and Abilene, TX make informed decisions about their health and weight loss.

## Frequently Asked Questions About Bariatric Surgery

### How soon after my first appointment can I get bariatric surgery?

Your health and well-being are our top priority, and we will do everything we can to make your journey to surgery go as smoothly as possible. The time between your first appointment and your surgery date can vary depending on lots of factors, including your health and any requirements of your insurance plan. At your consultation appointment, we will be able to give you a timeline for your unique treatment plan.

### Who is a candidate for bariatric surgery?

Candidates for bariatric surgery typically include individuals with:

- A history of unsuccessful weight loss attempts through diet and exercise
- A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35 or higher; or
- A BMI of 30 or higher with obesity-related health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea

### Does health insurance cover bariatric surgery?

Your coverage will depend on your individual insurance policy, insurance requirements, and your medical history. [Learn more about insurance and self-pay financing options](https://www.expertsurgical.com/contents/insurance-financing.php).

### How much does bariatric surgery cost?

The cost of your weight loss surgery will depend on what type of procedure you have, as well as the details of your individually tailored treatment plan. We believe that pricing should not be a barrier to better health, which is why we offer financing options and self-pay packages. We currently offer self-pay pricing for gastric sleeve surgery for as low as $288 per month with financing.\* [Learn more about payment and financing options](https://www.expertsurgical.com/contents/insurance-financing.php).

_\*Estimated monthly payment for qualified candidates_

### What are the benefits of bariatric surgery?

Bariatric surgery can lead to significant weight loss and help improve or resolve obesity-related health conditions. Benefits of procedures such as gastric sleeve include:

- Long-term weight loss success
- Improved cardiovascular health
- Remission of type 2 diabetes
- Enhanced quality of life and mental health

### What should I expect during my initial consultation?

During your initial consultation, you can expect to leave with everything you need to make an informed decision:

- A thorough medical evaluation
- Discussion of your weight loss goals
- Detailed explanation of surgical and non-surgical options
- Personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs
- Financial information and guidance

### How do I prepare for bariatric surgery?

The most important thing is that you feel ready to change your life. Our team will make sure you have everything you need as you get ready for surgery.

### Why do I need to quit smoking before bariatric surgery?

Smoking or using nicotine products severely slows down the healing process and can increase the risk of infection or postoperative complications. This includes e-cigarettes and smoking marijuana.

### What is the recovery process like after bariatric surgery?

Recovery time can vary based on the type of surgery and individual health factors. Generally, patients can expect to take about one week off of work and four weeks away from strenuous activity. After surgery, there will be a gradual transition from a liquid diet to solid foods over several weeks. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor progress and ensure proper healing.

### Will I be in pain after surgery?

Some discomfort and pain are normal after surgery, but pain management strategies are in place to help you stay comfortable.

### How long does it take to see results?

Patients typically see significant weight loss within the first few months, with increasing weight loss in the year after surgery. Long-term success depends on adherence to dietary guidelines, regular physical activity, and ongoing medical follow-up.

### When can I go back to work after bariatric surgery?

This can vary depending on your individual medical needs, as well the type of work you do. Most patients return to work 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. Keep in mind that you will need to refrain from strenuous activity and lifting more than 25 pounds for at least 4 weeks.

### Will I have hair loss after bariatric surgery?

Some patients experience temporary, minor hair loss after bariatric surgery. This does not happen to all patients, and it can be caused by a response to anesthesia or by a deficiency in protein. Taking good care of yourself, including eating plenty of protein, may help prevent hair loss. This type of hair loss typically lasts 3 to 4 months before hair starts to grow back normally.

### Will I need to take vitamins for the rest of my life?

Dr. Stowers has all patients take an approved bariatric multivitamin for the rest of their life. [Learn more about vitamins and supplements after bariatric surgery](https://www.expertsurgical.com/blog/know-which-vitamins-and-supplements-you-need-after-your-bariatric-surgery.php).

### When can I have alcohol after surgery?

It’s recommended to avoid alcohol for at least 6 months post-surgery. Alcohol affects you more quickly after surgery and can interfere with weight loss and nutrient absorption. You may also get inebriated more quickly after bariatric surgery. Therefore, it is best to limit alcohol to small amounts at special occasions.

### When can I have carbonated beverages after surgery?

Bariatric patients should never drink carbonated beverages, including soda, beer, and sparkling water. The bubbles from carbonation can cause discomfort and can injure the stomach. Carbonation over time, can stretch out the stomach and contribute to weight regain.

### When can I have sex after bariatric surgery?

You can resume sexual activity 4 weeks post-surgery.

### When can I exercise after bariatric surgery?

Light exercise, such as walking, can start the day of surgery. We encourage our patients to begin walking to encourage the body to heal. More strenuous activities can typically be resumed 6-8 weeks post-surgery.

### When can I take a shower after bariatric surgery?

You can shower the day after surgery with light soap and water. However, no submersion in a bathtub, hot tub, etc. for 6 weeks.

### When can I take a bath or swim after bariatric surgery?

You should avoid baths, swimming, or soaking in water until your incisions are fully healed, usually around 6 weeks post-surgery.

### How can I maintain my weight loss after bariatric surgery?

Maintaining weight loss involves:

- Following a balanced diet
- Regular physical activity
- Attending support groups or counseling
- Regular follow-ups with your healthcare team

### What if I really want to lose weight, but I’m not sure surgery is right for me?

We understand that bariatric surgery is a big decision, and that it’s not the right choice for everyone. We encourage you to [schedule a consultation](https://www.expertsurgical.com/contents/contact-us.php) so you can learn about all your options and get answers to any questions you have. You may decide that our [non-surgical medical weight loss program](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/medications/program.php) is best for you.

Dr. Stowers and his team provide a very personalized approach to bariatrics. Dr. Stowers meets with every patient and determines the best possible course of treatment for them as an individual. He has a down-to-earth bedside manner, and his dedication to helping his patients achieve successful outcomes is unparalleled.

Dr. Stowers strongly believes that education and support are why his patients are so successful long-term. His unique aftercare program provides each patient with the tools they need to reach their goals far past their surgery date.

Although it’s undeniably exciting when patients lose weight, Dr. Stowers is even more excited when they come off of their insulin, oral diabetic medication, and/or blood pressure medications. He believes it’s not all about the weight a patient loses, but the life they gain.

Many of Dr. Stowers’ patients come to him through a referral from a friend or family member. He is very proud of this, as it speaks volumes and is the best compliment a patient can pay.

Dr. Stowers focuses on minimally invasive procedures, often utilizing da Vinci robotic technology. Using da Vinci technology allows his patients to recover quicker from their surgeries and experience fewer risks during surgery and throughout the healing processes.

## What Is Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to improve the skin’s texture, tone, and tightness. This treatment is highly effective for facial rejuvenation and body contouring.

## How Does Morpheus8 Work?

Morpheus8 operates by combining microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy. Through the use of fine needles it creates micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, prompting the body’s natural healing mechanisms to boost collagen and elastin production, which are vital for skin firmness and X![Trusetd Source Checkbox](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/plugins/sources/assets/trusted.svg) Trusted SourceDermatologic facial applications of Morpheus8 fractional radiofrequency microneedlingJournal of Cosmetic Dermatology [Go to Source](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jocd.15231)elasticity.
Simultaneously, it emits RF energy into the deeper skin layers, generating controlled heat to further stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. This dual-action approach effectively addresses various skin concerns, such as wrinkles, sagging skin, uneven texture, subdermal fat, and scarring, making it a versatile option for cosmetic rejuvenation.

## Benefits of Morpheus8

- Micro-invasive and does not require anesthesia
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Tightens sagging or loose skin
- Diminishes the appearance of stretch marks2 and acne scars
- Improves uneven skin texture and tone
- Eliminates subdermal adipose tissue (fat)

## What to Expect During Your Morpheus8 Microneedling Treatment

### Preparing For Morpheus8

Preparing for a Morpheus8 treatment at Expert Wellness is a straightforward process that begins with scheduling a consultation with our experienced medical team. During this consultation, we will assess your specific skin concerns and goals, ensuring that Morpheus8 is the right choice for you. To optimize your experience, it’s essential to follow any pre-treatment guidelines provided by our experts, which may include discontinuing certain medications or skincare products temporarily. Additionally, we recommend avoiding excessive sun exposure and using sunscreen to protect your skin in the weeks leading up to your appointment. At Expert Wellness, your comfort and satisfaction are our priorities, so we’ll guide you through every step of the process to ensure a successful Morpheus8 experience.

### The Morpheus8 Treatment

During a Morpheus8 treatment, patients can expect a well-tailored and minimally invasive procedure designed to improve their skin’s texture, tone, and tightness. The process begins with the application of a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort during the treatment. The Morpheus8 device, equipped with fine microneedles, is then passed over the targeted area, creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. Simultaneously, radiofrequency (RF) energy is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen and elastin production. Patients experience a mild warming or tingling sensation and discomfort is generally minimal. The procedure’s duration depends on the treated area’s size and specific concerns. Afterward, patients can resume their normal activities with some redness and mild swelling, which usually subside within a few days. Over the following weeks and months, gradual improvements in skin quality become more apparent as collagen continues to rebuild, ultimately leading to a rejuvenated, tighter, and more youthful appearance.

### Morpheus8 Recovery & Results

Following a Morpheus8 treatment, patients can anticipate a relatively short and straightforward recovery process. In the immediate aftermath, there will be some redness, swelling, and minor discomfort in the treated area, akin to a sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days. Patients can resume their daily activities shortly after the procedure. Over the coming weeks and months, the real transformation unfolds as collagen and elastin production is stimulated, gradually improving skin texture, tone, and tightness. Results become more pronounced with time. The extent of improvement may vary depending on the individual’s specific concerns and the treatment plan. The best way to discern results, since gradual changes occur, is by seeing the before and after photos that will be taken in our office. To maintain and even enhance results, patients will be advised to follow a recommended skincare regimen and protect their skin from excessive sun exposure.

## FAQs About Morpheus8

### Who is a candidate for Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is a versatile cosmetic procedure suitable for individuals with mild to moderate skin aging, uneven skin texture, acne scarring, sagging skin, stretch marks, and those seeking non-surgical alternatives for fat X![Trusetd Source Checkbox](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/plugins/sources/assets/trusted.svg) Trusted SourceMultimodal Radiofrequency Application for Lower Face and Neck LaxityPRS Global Open [Go to Source](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7489644/)reduction.
It is suitable for all skin types and tones and is minimally invasive, making it appealing to those looking for effective rejuvenation without the need for invasive surgery. To determine candidacy and receive personalized recommendations, patients should schedule a consultation in order to assess specific needs, goals, and medical history.

### Is Morpheus8 suitable for all skin types?

Morpheus8 is suitable for various skin types and tones because it utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy rather than light-based technologies, which can be limited by skin color. This makes it an inclusive option for individuals with different skin tones, including those with darker skin. However, it’s essential to consult with our qualified healthcare provider, who will assess your specific skin characteristics and determine the most appropriate settings and approach to ensure safety and effectiveness for your unique skin type.

### Is Morpheus8 painful?

Morpheus8 typically involves minimal discomfort. Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to help minimize any potential pain or discomfort. Most patients report feeling a mild warming or tingling sensation during the treatment, but it is generally well-tolerated. Afterward, some redness and swelling may occur, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually subsides within a few days. Individual pain tolerance varies, but for most people, the discomfort associated with Morpheus8 is manageable and temporary.

### How long does a Morpheus8 treatment session take?

The duration of a Morpheus8 treatment session can vary depending on the size of the treatment area and the specific concerns being addressed. Generally, a session typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour for a specific area, such as the face. However, larger treatment areas or combination treatments may take longer. Patients should plan for an hour in addition to the treatment time for the application of a topical anesthetic and the time it takes for it to take effect. Your healthcare provider will provide you with a more accurate time estimate based on your treatment plan during the initial consultation.

### Is there any downtime after a Morpheus8 treatment?

There is typically minimal downtime after a Morpheus8 treatment. Most individuals experience redness and mild swelling in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days. Patients can generally resume their regular activities immediately after the procedure, although we ask patients to avoid exercise, excessive sun exposure, and hot baths or saunas for a few days to allow the skin to heal. Small scabs will form as the skin heals and will slough off on their own. Makeup can be applied after the first 4824 hours to cover any residual redness. The extent of downtime may vary depending on the individual and the treatment area.

### How many Morpheus8 sessions are required to see results?

The number of Morpheus8 sessions needed to see optimal results can vary depending on the individual’s specific skin concerns and goals. Many people start noticing improvements in skin texture and tightness after just one session. However, we recommend a series of 3 treatments for significant and long-lasting results. The exact number of sessions required will be determined during the initial consultation, taking into account your specific needs and desired outcomes. Maintenance sessions may also be advised to sustain the results over time.

### When can I expect to see results from Morpheus8?

Results from Morpheus8 treatments are typically gradual and become more apparent over time. Many individuals start noticing improvements in skin texture and tightness within several weeks after their initial treatment session. However, the most significant and long-lasting results typically become evident over the course of several months as collagen and elastin production continues to increase.

### Can Morpheus8 be combined with other treatments?

Yes, Morpheus8 can often be effectively combined with other cosmetic treatments to enhance overall results. It is commonly paired with treatments like Botox or other non-surgical procedures to address multiple aspects of skin rejuvenation. Combining Morpheus8 with other treatments can provide a more comprehensive approach to achieve the desired aesthetic goals, such as reducing wrinkles, improving skin texture, and restoring volume.

### Are there any side effects or risks associated with Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 is generally considered safe with minimal risks. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically resolves within a few days. It is common to see minor bruising, scabbing, or pigment changes while the skin heals.

### How long do the results of Morpheus8 last?

The longevity of Morpheus8 results can vary from person to person and may depend on factors such as individual skin aging, lifestyle, and maintenance. Generally, patients can expect to enjoy noticeable improvements in skin texture and tightness for up to several years. However, as collagen and elastin production naturally decline over time, maintenance sessions are often recommended to sustain the results. The frequency of maintenance treatments will vary but can typically be scheduled yearly to help prolong the benefits of Morpheus8.

### Is Morpheus8 suitable for body contouring as well?

Yes! Morpheus8 is great for body contouring in addition to its facial and skin rejuvenation applications. By combining microneedling and radiofrequency energy, Morpheus8 can effectively target and reduce subdermal fat, making it a versatile treatment option for body sculpting. It can be used to address areas with localized fat deposits and to tighten loose skin on the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, and more. The treatment’s precision and effectiveness make it an appealing non-surgical alternative for those seeking to improve their body contours. The number of sessions required and the specific areas treated will depend on individual goals and needs, and this can be discussed during your consultation.

## Benefits of EMSCULPT NEO

EMSCULPT NEO makes it possible for our patients to melt away excess fat and achieve improved muscle tone and definition with results that could only previously be achieved with an invasive surgical procedure.

![happy man and woman with toned muscles in athletic clothes](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/fit-couple.webp)

### Maintenance of Weight Loss

When patients lose large amounts of weight, muscle loss is expected. It is important to combat that as best we can, and Emsculpt NEO is the perfect solution. Improving muscle mass will increase your basal metabolic rate and positively affect your ability to maintain weight loss.

### Core Strength

Emsculpt NEO not only defines abdominal muscles, it increases strength, balance, posture, and decreases back pain and discomfort. Core strength is incredibly important as we age and is directly related to fall risk.

### Diastasis Recti

After pregnancy, women experience abdominal muscle separation, known as diastasis recti. Diastasis recti directly impacts core strength, and there are very few effective, non-invasive treatments for this condition. Emsculpt NEO helps to restore abdominal muscles to their natural position and significantly improve diastasis recti.

### Catalyst for Fitness

Emsculpt NEO provides targeted fat burn and muscle growth, increases BMR, and will leave you feeling more confident in your own skin. The Emsculpt NEO is equivalent to 12-14 weeks of HIIT training. Meaning, the perfect place to start your fitness journey is in the medical gym!

Other benefits of EMSCULPT NEO include:

- Non-invasive treatment
- No downtime
- Fast treatment sessions
- Improved core strength
- A flatter stomach and toned abs

- Higher, more sculpted buttocks
- Firmer, more shapely thighs
- Slimmer upper arms with improved definition
- Toned, defined calves

## How Does EMSCULPT NEO Work?

EMSCULPT NEO utilizes a revolutionary combination of synchronized RF (radiofrequency) and HIFEM® (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic) technologies. The RF energy heats the fat cells, causing them to break down so they can be naturally eliminated by the body. At the same time, HIFEM+ energy stimulates muscle fibers to cause thousands of contractions, leading to stronger, firmer muscles.

During a typical ab workout, most people work 20-30% of their abdominal muscles. EMSCULPT NEO targets up to 100% of ab muscles with an intensity of roughly 20,000 crunches in only X![Trusetd Source Checkbox](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/plugins/sources/assets/trusted.svg) Trusted SourceSimultaneous Changes in Abdominal Adipose and Muscle Tissues Following Treatments by High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) Technology-Based Device: Computed Tomography EvaluationKent DE, Jacob CI [Go to Source](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31738500/)30 minutes.

![emsculpt neo treatment areas graphics](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/emsculpt-neo-graphic-960x679.webp)

## Preparing for EMSCULPT NEO

Before your EMSCULPT NEO treatment, you will attend a consultation with one of our experienced providers. We’ll help you learn more about EMSCULPT NEO and make sure all of your questions have been answered. To prepare for treatment, all you need to do is wear comfortable clothing and drink plenty of water.

## What to Expect During EMSCULPT NEO Treatment

EMSCULPT NEO is non-invasive, and no numbing or anesthesia is needed. You will recline comfortably as your provider attaches EMSCULPT NEO paddles to the treatment area. During the session, you will feel a warming sensation from the RF energy, followed by muscle contractions from the HIFEM® energy. The procedure is about 30 minutes and is generally painless. You can expect the sensation of a very intense workout and you will likely!

### Recovery After EMSCULPT NEO

Post-treatment, there is no recovery time required. You may resume your daily activities immediately. Some clients report mild muscle soreness, like after a workout. Just like an intensive workout, your soreness will gradually subside over the next few days.

### EMSCULPT NEO Results

It’s not unusual to begin to see EMSCULPT NEO results in as little as 2 weeks, and most of our patients note a significant improvement in muscle tone and definition after 4-6 weeks. You should be able to enjoy the final results of your EMSCULPT NEO treatment in about 3 months. Patients who participated in a X![Trusetd Source Checkbox](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/plugins/sources/assets/trusted.svg) Trusted SourceSimultaneous Changes in Abdominal Adipose and Muscle Tissues Following Treatments by High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) Technology-Based Device: Computed Tomography EvaluationKent DE, Jacob CI [Go to Source](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31738500/)recent study

## Frequently Asked Questions About EMSCULPT NEO

### Can EMSCULPT NEO help me lose weight?

EMSCULPT NEO is an excellent addition to your weight loss regimen! EMSCULPT NEO is the ideal way to improve muscle tone and get rid of stubborn pockets of fat in areas where exercise alone isn’t delivering the results you desire.

### Is EMSCULPT NEO covered by insurance?

EMSCULPT NEO is considered to be an elective (not medically necessary) procedure, so it is not typically covered by insurance. We can help you learn more about payment and financing options.

### How many EMSCULPT NEO sessions will I need?

It is important to remember that not one size fits all and each patient’s body and goals are different. Treatment sessions are spaced from 3-7 days. During your EMSCULPT NEO consultation, we can recommend the appropriate number of treatments for you.

### Is EMSCULPT NEO safe?

Yes. EMSCULPT NEO is FDA-cleared and has a high safety profile.

At The Bariatric Experts™, our mission is to inspire our patients to live their healthiest, happiest lives. We offer bioidentical hormone replacement therapy with Biote pellets to help our patients in the Frisco and DFW areas overcome frustrating symptoms caused by hormone imbalances.

BHRT can be used to address a range of symptoms, including fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and decreased sexual function. The therapy aims to restore hormonal balance, thereby improving overall quality of life.

## What is Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is a form of therapy used to combat the symptoms and health issues associated with hormonal imbalances or declines in hormone production, typically related to aging. Unlike traditional hormone replacement therapies, BHRT uses hormones that are designed to mimic the human body’s natural hormone response. These hormones are custom-compounded based on a patient’s individual hormonal needs, as determined by laboratory testing and symptoms.

## BHRT Pellet Therapy

We offer Biote pellet therapy for our BHRT patients. Biote pellets are formulated to meet each patient’s specific needs following comprehensive blood analysis. These small pellets are inserted just under the skin in a fast, in-office procedure. Once in place, Biote pellets release a calibrated stream of hormones until they dissolve naturally.

### Benefits of BHRT

Each patient’s pellet therapy is customized to address their unique hormone needs and imbalances. Patients using BHRT can experience:

- Faster weight loss
- Improved mood
- More energy
- Increased sex drive
- Clearer thinking
- Better sleep

## Hormone Replacement Therapy for Women

Most women associate hormone replacement therapy with menopause, but hormone imbalances can occur as early as age 25. Female BHRT pellets can help treat:

- Menopause symptoms
- Hot flashes
- Low sex drive
- Brain fog
- Mood swings
- Insomnia
- Depression, including postpartum depression
- Night sweats
- Weight gain
- Anxiety

- Low sex drive
- Decreased muscle mass
- Decreased bone mass
- Weight gain
- Increased body fat in the stomach
- Brain fog
- Mood changes

## The Pellet Insertion Procedure

Biote pellets are inserted under the skin during a fast procedure conducted in our office. Your skin will be numbed before the procedure, then a cannula will be inserted through a very small incision and the pellet will be released. Adhesive strips will close the incision.

## BHRT Recovery

You might feel tender at the site of your Biote pellet insertion for a couple of days after the procedure, and it is also common to experience mild redness and/or swelling. We ask that you refrain from strenuous activity for 5-7 days after Biote insertion. Our team will provide you with comprehensive post-procedure instructions before your pelleting.

## FAQs About Biote

### Is it painful to have Biote pellets inserted?

Biote is inserted just under the skin in a fast, in-office procedure. Your skin will be numbed prior to the procedure, so you should not experience pain.

### When will I feel the effects of my hormone replacement therapy?

You might begin to feel the effects of your BHRT within four to six weeks of receiving your first Biote pellet. Most of our patients experience the full benefits of Biote after their second pellet is X![Trusetd Source Checkbox](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/plugins/sources/assets/trusted.svg) Trusted SourceBiote Hormone Therapy BenefitsBiote [Go to Source](https://biote.com/hormone-therapy-benefits)inserted.

### How often will I need to replace Biote pellets?

Each patient’s experience is unique and they learn what their body needs over time. On average female patients get pellets every 3-6 months and male patients come every 4-6 months.

### How much does Biote hormone therapy cost?

When you come in for a hormone replacement therapy consultation, we’ll go over the cost of your personalized treatment plan.

At The Bariatric Experts™, we believe that each of our patients deserves access to life-changing weight loss surgery, regardless of their financial situation. We understand that for our patients from Frisco, DFW, and Abilene, Texas, navigating the financial aspects of weight loss surgery can be as daunting as the decision itself. Paying for weight loss surgery carries even more financial implications for our out-of-state patients who travel for care. On this page, we’ll guide you through the options available to manage the costs, whether it’s through insurance coverage, self-pay options, or financing plans. We’re here to help you understand the investment in your health and discuss the substantial long-term benefits that bariatric surgery can bring to your life.

## Is Weight Loss Surgery Covered by Insurance?

At The Bariatric Experts, we see you as an individual in every aspect. Each patient has a different situation financially. Some patients have insurance that will cover all or part of the cost of surgery, other patients don’t have any coverage, and others don’t have insurance at all.

No matter what your situation, our team will work with you to help make this life-changing surgery affordable for you.

Free insurance checks are available for anyone wondering what their benefits may be. We do this so our potential patients can have a clear picture of what to expect financially. Our team encourages ALL patients to come in for an Initial Consultation to discern what we can do based on your individual medical history.

![happy plus size couple using laptop to check insurance coverage](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/happy-couple-laptop.webp)

## Bariatric Surgery Insurance

We accept most major insurance carriers. Bariatric surgery insurance coverage varies by company and policy and involves different requirements. You should contact your insurance carrier to learn whether bariatric surgery is a covered benefit and what your specific policy requirements might be. If you aren’t sure what kind of bariatric coverage your insurance offers, we can help—simply fill out our [free insurance check form](https://www.expertsurgical.com/insurance-financing#fic).

Although some health insurance plans do offer coverage for bariatric surgery, they often impose strict requirements such as a lengthy supervised diet plan or medical history that can create an extended wait before surgery. Some patients with insurance choose to go the cash pay route because they feel it puts them in better control of their health. Please see our self-pay information as we recognize that many insurance plans do not offer adequate coverage.

[SELF-PAY WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY](https://www.expertsurgical.com/insurance-financing#self-pay)

### Preparing for Approval

Most insurance companies will ask for in-depth, comprehensive documentation relating to your previous weight loss attempts. We advise you to gather the following information:

- Medical documentation of a five-year weight history
- Documentation of diet drugs and medically supervised diets prescribed
- Records of commercial diet programs you have tried (Weight Watchers, Noom, etc.)
- Records of any exercise programs you have tried (YMCA/YWCA, gym membership, etc.)

You will need to begin gathering these records now so they are readily available when we initiate communication with your insurance company for your bariatric surgery. It is not enough for you to simply list these items – the insurance company will require official documentation.

You will need to contact the doctor who weighed you and/or prescribed weight loss drugs for a copy of that documentation. A summary letter of dates, weights, prescribed medications and supervised diets from that doctor is acceptable. You may need to contact commercial diet program offices and exercise facilities for records if you do not have these.

### Getting Approval

Once we have everything together, we will submit your case to the insurance company. The timeline looks different for each carrier and we have to give insurance providers a minimum of 15 business days to get back to us with an answer.

## Can I Afford Weight Loss Surgery?

We understand that cost is a significant factor when our patients are considering weight loss surgery. However, when you look at weight loss surgery as a long-term investment in a happier, healthier lifestyle, the value is clear.

Studies show that most people could financially “break even” within 2 to 4 years of their procedure and start saving $11,000 per year after that.

Savings include:

- Reduced medical costs – each year obese individuals spend 42% more on medical expenses than normal weight individuals
- Reduced prescription costs – seriously overweight people spend over $700 a year on out-of-pocket prescription costs
- Less spend on food – it’s estimated an obese person spends $6,100 annually on groceries and dining out

Our patients find that their investment in weight loss surgery is worth every penny to regain their life and their health. Bariatric Surgery can resolve serious health conditions related to obesity and to improve your quality and quantity of life!

_It’s not about the weight you lose—it’s about the life you gain!_

## Gastric Band Removal
# Lap Band Removal

[Bariatric Surgery](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/surgery/) •
[Lap Band Removal](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/surgery/lap-band-removal/)

A gastric band can be a helpful tool for portion control as you’re trying to lose weight, but up to half of all patients experience complications from their gastric bands. If you experience problems, or your gastric band hasn’t helped you lose weight, Scott Stowers, DO, can perform laparoscopic gastric band removal or revision at The Bariatric Experts™ in Frisco, Abilene, and Denton, Texas. To see if you’re a good candidate for gastric band removal, book a consultation with Scott Stowers, DO, by calling The Bariatric Experts™ in Denton, Texas, or booking online today.

- [What is gastric band removal?](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/surgery/lap-band-removal#what)
- [When is gastric band removal necessary?](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/surgery/lap-band-removal#when)
- [Will I regain the weight after gastric band removal?](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/surgery/lap-band-removal#regain)

## What is gastric band removal?

Gastric band removal is a surgery to remove a lap band from your body when it causes issues.

A lap band, or laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, is a flexible loop that a bariatric surgeon places around the top portion of your stomach during laparoscopic surgery. You can tighten your lap band by adding saline to expand its girth.

When you tighten your lap band, it reduces your stomach’s size so it can hold a smaller volume of food. This makes you feel full more quickly, so you don’t overeat, and it can help you learn to eat smaller portions so you can lose weight more easily.

Sometimes, a gastric band causes complications or doesn’t provide the results you want to see. If you have complications resulting from your gastric band, you can discuss gastric band removal surgery with Dr. Stowers and the team at The Bariatric Experts™.

During gastric band removal surgery, Dr. Stowers uses small incisions with a laparoscope to access your stomach. He starts by cutting away the capsule of scar tissue your body has formed around the band, then removes the lap band as well as the saline tube and port. This procedure usually takes around 30 minutes.

## When is gastric band removal necessary?

Gastric band removal isn’t necessary for everyone with a gastric band, but it can help patients who experience complications related to their gastric band, or for patients who have already reached their weight loss goals.

## Will I regain the weight after gastric band removal?

If you choose to undergo gastric band removal without revision, your stomach will return to its original size. As long as you continue to eat healthy foods in reasonable portion sizes and maintain other good habits like regular exercise, you should be able to keep the weight off that you lost while using your gastric band.

However, it’s important to note that you’ll likely notice that you have a larger appetite after Dr. Stowers removes the band. If you’re concerned about regaining the weight, you should talk to Dr. Stowers about other surgical intervention options.

If your gastric band causes complications or hasn’t been effective as part of your weight loss plan, call The Bariatric Experts™ or schedule your consultation for gastric band removal online today.

## What is heartburn?

Heartburn, the definitive symptom of acid reflux, is extremely common; between 42 and 64 million people in the US suffer from it. Heartburn can happen at varying times of the day, and may be brought on by a diverse array of causes.

Acid can travel up the esophagus and bring on a sour taste in the mouth, irritate the throat, and contribute to bad breath. A hiccup may also cause the acid or food to “regurgitate” into your mouth; this regurgitation can also happen when burping, bending, or lying prone. At its worst, GERD will cause severe chest pain and eventually damage the esophageal lining, which can lead to an inflammation of the esophagus called Esophagitis. Having trouble when swallowing or extreme pain in the chest could be signs of esophageal cancer or cardiac arrest, and should not be ignored.

## Why does GERD occur?

Food is digested when the stomach creates acid. This acid is normally contained in the stomach by the proper functioning of a valve called the esophageal sphincter. But if this valve is weak, acid will back up (reflux) into the esophagus and cause the burning and discomfort known as heartburn.

The Gastro-Esophageal Valve will malfunction for reasons such as excessive eating, smoking, drinking alcohol, pregnancy, certain chemicals in foods, or a hiatal hernia. As the condition progresses, the weakening will become worse as the mere action of the reflux strains the valve even more.

![woman with gerd symptoms](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/gerd-woman.webp)

## Why should you never disregard symptoms of GERD?

Unfortunately, GERD is a condition that will not correct itself. Even worse, the effects of acid reflux may create serious health problems. The discomfort that it causes can disrupt your work or family life, and hinder your ability to enjoy even the simplest activities. But the good news is that GERD can be successfully treated.

The Bariatric Experts™ offers solutions to end the discomfort of GERD and restore your quality of life. You can take control of your health by contacting us today for a consultation to discover the options that are best suited for you.

If you’ve had bariatric surgery in the past and either experienced complications or a lack of sustainable results, surgery revisions can make the changes you need to get back on track with weight loss and general health. At The Bariatric Experts™ in Frisco, Abilene, and Denton, Texas, Scott Stowers, DO, performs surgery revisions like the gastric band to gastric sleeve, gastric band to gastric bypass, gastric sleeve revision, and gastric bypass. To explore your options for surgery revisions, call The Bariatric Experts™ or book your consultation online today.

- [When should I consider surgery revisions?](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/surgery/revision#when)
- [What are my options for surgery revisions?](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/surgery/revision#options)

## What are surgery revisions?

Surgery revisions, or revisional surgery, is an option when your original bariatric surgery either develops complications or doesn’t provide you with results despite your adherence to post-surgery lifestyle changes. Dr. Stowers performs a second surgery to make changes after the initial surgery, hopefully leading to better results.

The most common revision surgery is a gastric band or lap-band removal. A gastric band can be a helpful tool for portion control as you’re trying to lose weight, but up to half of all patients experience complications from their gastric bands. If you experience problems, or your gastric band hasn’t helped you lose weight, Scott Stowers, DO, can perform laparoscopic gastric band removal or revision at The Bariatric Experts™ in Denton, Texas.

Some common problems, which might cause you to seek gastric band removal surgery, include:

- Band erosion
- Band slippage
- Food regurgitation
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Trouble swallowing
- Esophageal inflammation or irritation
- Infection around the band
- Little or no weight loss

You may also choose to remove the gastric band if you’ve already reached your goals and find the band to be unnecessary.

If you’re still working toward your weight loss goal, you might choose to undergo gastric band revision surgery instead of gastric band removal. With this option, Dr. Stowers performs gastric sleeve or gastric bypass surgery after removing your lap band.

At The Bariatric Experts™, Dr. Stowers prefers to perform surgery revisions using minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy.

Rather than using a single large incision to make revisions to your stomach, he uses several small incisions and an instrument called a laparoscope.

This minimally invasive technique results in less scarring and a shorter recovery time than traditional surgery. Still, you should keep in mind that a second bariatric surgery carries an increased risk for infections.

## When should I consider surgery revisions?

You may wish to consider surgery revisions if you experience complications from your original weight loss surgery, if you’ve hit a plateau with your weight loss after the initial surgery, or you have comorbidities (other health issues) that did not get resolved. The effectiveness of the revision procedure will largely be determined by the patient’s commitment and compliance with the program.

When you come to The Bariatric Experts™, Dr. Stowers evaluates you and helps you decide whether or not you’re a good candidate for surgery revisions. Dr. Stowers also supports you in following your aftercare program to improve the procedure’s effectiveness.

## What are my options for surgery revisions?

Dr. Stowers offers several types of surgery revisions at The Bariatric Experts™ to improve your weight loss results and general health.

Types of surgery revisions include:

### Gastric Band to Sleeve

During this surgery revision, Dr. Stowers removes the gastric band and any scar tissue around it. He then permanently reduces your stomach’s size by trimming away around 80% of it and sewing the remaining portion together to create a smaller banana-shaped organ.

### Gastric Sleeve Revision

If you experience complications related to your initial gastric sleeve procedure, you may require a surgical revision to correct them. Complications related to gastric sleeve procedures could include vomiting, persistent nausea, gastroesophageal reflux, and an inability to tolerate solid foods. When possible, Dr. Stowers prefers to perform gastric sleeve revision using laparoscopic techniques.

### Gastric Band to Bypass

During this surgery revision, Dr. Stowers starts by removing the gastric band and any tissue that has grown around it, then reduces your stomach’s size by stapling or suturing a small pouch. He routes the pouch past your upper small intestine and directly into the middle section called the jejunum. This helps you eat less and absorb fewer calories from your food.

### Gastric Bypass Revision

If you fail to lose enough weight, regain the weight you previously lost, or experience medical complications after your initial gastric bypass procedure, you may require a gastric bypass revision. Dr. Stowers uses minimally invasive techniques to perform gastric bypass revision whenever possible.

When it comes to surgical weight loss, you have many options. The gastric bypass is one such procedure that helps you lose weight by restriction and malabsorption, meaning it limits the amount you eat and decreases the number of calories you absorb. At The Bariatric Experts™ in Frisco, Abilene, and Denton, Texas, Scott Stowers, DO, and the team performs gastric bypass to help patients reach their weight-loss goals. To schedule a free weight-loss consultation with the experienced team, contact the office by phone or request an appointment online today.

## What is a gastric bypass?

A gastric bypass is a form of weight-loss surgery that involves both your stomach and small intestines.

During the procedure, your surgeon removes most of your stomach, leaving you with a walnut-sized pouch. Your surgeon then bypasses the first portion of your small intestine, known as the duodenum, and reattaches your stomach pouch to your jejunum, the next part of your small intestine.

The gastric bypass supports weight loss by limiting the amount of food you can eat at one time due to the decreased size of your stomach. It also reduces the number of calories your body absorbs by bypassing a portion of your small intestines.

## Am I a good candidate for a gastric bypass procedure?

The team at The Bariatric Experts™ can determine if you’re a good candidate for gastric bypass during your weight-loss consultation. Dr. Stowers considers many factors when deciding the best method to help you lose weight and keep it off.

To be considered a good candidate for gastric bypass, you need to have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or more or a BMI of 35 or more along with serious health issues that would improve with weight loss, such as diabetes or obstructive sleep apnea.

Gastric bypass surgery permanently changes the structure and function of your stomach. In order to be considered a good candidate, you must also be fully committed to making permanent lifestyle changes (including eating a healthy diet and engaging in regular exercise) that reduce the risk of complications and ensure weight-loss success.

![plus size woman using exercise machine at the gym](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/grastric-bypass-candidate.webp)

## What happens during gastric bypass surgery?

Your gastric bypass procedure is performed at the hospital. You can expect to spend one night in the hospital. The team can send you home once you’re able to tolerate liquids, and you can move around without pain.

Dr. Stowers provides you with a structured diet plan to follow after your surgery to support healing and the transition to your new way of life. It may take up to 6 weeks until you’re eating regular food (in smaller portions) following your gastric bypass.

Gastric bypass is considered the “gold standard” for weight-loss surgery. To learn more about the procedure, contact The Bariatric Experts™ by phone, or book online to schedule your weight-loss consultation today.

## What is gastric sleeve surgery?

Gastric sleeve surgery, or sleeve gastrectomy, is a weight loss surgery that is restrictive only, meaning it keeps your stomach’s function intact.

At The Bariatric Experts™, Dr. Stowers performs gastric sleeve surgery using small incisions and a laparoscopic camera, a long, slender lighted camera that fits through the small incisions. This technique allows for minimal recovery time and less scarring.

During the surgery, Dr. Stowers removes 80% of your stomach. He removes the portion from your stomach’s outer curvature, and a special stapler is used to form a banana-shaped stomach.

In its entirety, gastric sleeve surgery typically takes about one hour. You’ll be under general anesthesia the whole time, so you won’t feel anything or consciously remember the experience. In most cases, you’ll need to spend one night in the hospital recovering before you can go home after gastric sleeve surgery.

## What are the benefits of gastric sleeve surgery?

Many people trying to lose weight consider gastric sleeve surgery because of the way it reduces your appetite. By having a smaller stomach, you’ll feel full more quickly and become better able to control your portion sizes.

The reduction in your stomach’s size isn’t the only way gastric sleeve surgery helps reduce your hunger.

Ghrelin, a natural stomach hormone, is largely responsible for making you feel hungry and telling you when you need to eat more. Dr. Stowers removes the portion of your stomach that produces ghrelin during your gastric sleeve surgery. Hunger will return, but you will get full quickly due to the reduced stomach size.

![](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/guywithglasses.webp)

## How should I prepare for gastric sleeve surgery?

Dr. Stowers gives you a detailed set of instructions to follow before your gastric sleeve surgery. They can vary according to the individual but generally include:

- Consuming a liquid-only diet for one week before surgery
- Fasting starting at midnight before your surgery
- Participating in pre- and post-surgery lifestyle education
- Smoking cessation is preferred

Dr. Stowers and his team work closely with you before surgery to ensure you’re on track for a successful operation. You will know exactly what to expect before surgery, the day of surgery, and after surgery.

Gastric sleeve surgery is an excellent option for weight loss surgery to set the stage for healthy long-term changes. To find out if you’re a candidate, call The Bariatric Experts™ for a consultation or book your appointment online today.

## How much weight will I lose after gastric sleeve surgery?

The amount of weight you’ll lose with gastric sleeve surgery varies based on how well you commit to the diet and exercise plan required after the surgery. Most people who undergo gastric sleeve surgery lose about 35-40% of their excess weight within 12-18 months of their surgery.

## What is Bariatric Surgery?

Bariatric surgery, often referred to as weight loss surgery, is a powerful tool for individuals seeking effective and lasting solutions to obesity and related health issues. It encompasses a range of surgical procedures designed to help patients achieve significant weight loss and improve their overall health and quality of life. These procedures work by altering the digestive system to reduce the amount of food a person can eat and/or the absorption of nutrients, resulting in sustained weight loss. Bariatric surgical procedures also create metabolic changes in the body, altering the presence of hunger hormones such as ghrelin to cut down on cravings and help patients feel fuller after eating less food.

## Weight Loss Surgery Results

## Bariatric Surgery Options

Weight loss surgery is an excellent tool that can help patients lose significant weight and keep that weight off long-term.

We perform all bariatric surgery procedures robotically, with small incisions and laparoscopic tools. This means that our patients have a shorter hospital stay and less postoperative pain, allowing them to resume physical activity more quickly.

![joyful plus size woman on a walk](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/bariatric-options.webp)

## Gastric Sleeve

Gastric sleeve, or vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is a bariatric procedure that involves the removal of 70 to 80% of the stomach. This creates a much smaller stomach that is roughly the same size and shape as a banana that functions just as your stomach does before surgery. Gastric sleeve surgery significantly restricts the amount of food a patient can eat, and it also reduces the release of hunger hormones to reduce appetite.

[Learn More About Gastric Sleeve Surgery](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/surgery/gastric-sleeve/)

## Gastric Bypass

Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is a weight loss procedure that involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting a portion of the small intestine to limit food intake and nutrient absorption. This surgical technique promotes weight loss by both reducing the amount of food that can be consumed and altering the way the body absorbs calories and nutrients, resulting in significant and sustainable weight loss for many patients.

[Learn More About Gastric Bypass Surgery](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/surgery/gastric-bypass/)

## Lap Band Removal

The Lap Band procedure, or adjustable gastric banding, was once a very popular bariatric procedure. Unfortunately, some patients experienced complications such as band slippage, insufficient weight loss, weight regain, dumping syndrome, heartburn, vomiting, and nausea. Many of our patients have been able to achieve success by removing their gastric band and undergoing a different weight loss procedure.

[Learn More About Lap Band Removal](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/surgery/lap-band-removal/)

## Weight Loss Surgery Revision

Sometimes patients don’t experience the results they anticipated after bariatric surgery. When patients are disappointed with their weight loss surgery results or begin to regain weight after surgery, we perform bariatric surgery revision to help them reach their goals.

[Learn More About Weight Loss Surgery Revision](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/surgery/revision/)

## Who is a Candidate for Bariatric Surgery?

The best way to determine whether weight loss surgery is a good option for you is to consult with a bariatric surgeon. In general, a good candidate for bariatric surgery:

- Has a BMI (body mass index) of 40 or higher
- Has a BMI of 35-40 in addition to serious obesity-related medical problems such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, or obstructive sleep apnea
- Has realistic expectations about surgery and life after surgery
- Is committed to maintaining the eating habits and lifestyle changes outlined by our program

## What is a Healthy Weight?

The truth is, a healthy weight looks different for everybody—and it very rarely looks like what we see in magazines and on TV. Being at a healthy weight means that you feel good, and it also means that your body is able to function as it should.

Doctors use body mass index (BMI) as a tool to evaluate where patients are in terms of a healthy weight, and BMI can also help us customize each patient’s weight loss plan to point them towards success.

Our team of experts goes even further than weight and BMI, with the InBody570 we are able to see the makeup of each patient’s body. This allows us to tailor a program to the individual and meet goals even more quickly.

## Understanding Obesity

People who are overweight often feel stigmatized by society, but it’s important to remember that obesity is actually a chronic medical condition. The good news is that this means that obesity can be medically treated. At our weight loss clinic, we’ll provide you with the tools you need to reclaim your health.

### Health Risks Associated with Obesity

Patients who struggle with obesity know very well that this condition is about much more than appearance. Scientific research shows that people with a BMI over 30 are more likely to suffer from chronic X![Trusetd Source Checkbox](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/plugins/sources/assets/trusted.svg) Trusted SourceAccessed October 18, 20231016/S0140-6736(16)30175-1 [Go to Source](http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(16)30175-1)disease.
Diseases or conditions that are amplified by obesity are called comorbidities.

Comorbidities most frequently associated with obesity include:

### The Cost of Obesity

Obesity can also affect a person’s finances. In addition to food costs, people with obesity often face increased medical expenses, lost wages due to work absences, higher insurance premiums, and higher prescription and medical costs. This can raise their annual expenses by $9,000 to X![Trusetd Source Checkbox](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/plugins/sources/assets/trusted.svg) Trusted SourceLifetime health and economic consequences of obesityThompson D, Edelsberg J, Colditz GA, Bird AP, Oster G [Go to Source](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10527295/)$17,000.

## Understanding Weight Loss

While some people are able to lose weight by cutting back on calories and exercising a bit more, that is not the case for everyone. If it were, there would be far fewer people who suffer from obesity. Yes, there are some factors that contribute to obesity that are within a person’s control. However, there are some factors that are simply part of their biology.

Body weight is determined by a delicate balance between a person’s basal metabolic rate (BMI, the rate at which calories are burned while bodily functions are sustained), hormones, organ systems, and even brain function. When these components are not balanced, it becomes easier to gain weight and much more difficult to lose it. Lifestyle changes can help with weight loss, but for many patients medical assistance is necessary in order to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

## Diet & Physical Activity for Weight Management

Diet and physical activity are essential components for any healthy lifestyle, and they are key factors in weight management. Even for patients who undergo weight loss surgery, it is necessary to make life-long lifestyle changes to attain lasting success.

### A Healthy Diet

Any person who struggles with being overweight will tell you: yo-yo dieting is a dangerous cycle. It’s easy to feel motivated at first when adopting new eating habits, but old habits and “cheat days” quickly creep in. Unfortunately, many patients who adopt on-again, off-again diets regain the weight within one year because they don’t have the support they need to stay on X![Trusetd Source Checkbox](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/plugins/sources/assets/trusted.svg) Trusted SourceObesity: pathophysiology and interventionZhang Y, Liu J, Yao J, Ji G, Qian L, Wang J, Zhang G, Tian J, Nie Y, Zhang YE, Gold MS, Liu Y [Go to Source](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4245585/)track.

At The Bariatric Experts, we understand that many of our patients struggle with food addiction that makes it especially difficult to maintain a healthy diet. This is why, in addition to nutrition counseling and meal planning, we also provide patients with the tools they need to understand what’s behind their overeating and the emotional support necessary to break the cycle.

### Physical Activity and Weight Loss

Exercise is about much more than weight loss: even people who are at a healthy weight need to exercise regularly to stay at optimal X![Trusetd Source Checkbox](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/plugins/sources/assets/trusted.svg) Trusted SourceThe role of exercise and physical activity in weight loss and maintenanceSwift DL, Johannsen NM, Lavie CJ, Earnest CP, Church TS [Go to Source](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24438736/)health.
In fact, research shows that regular exercise can help reduce a person’s risk of cardiovascular disease and some cancers by X![Trusetd Source Checkbox](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/plugins/sources/assets/trusted.svg) Trusted SourceHealth benefits of physical activity: the evidenceWarburton DE, Nicol CW, Bredin SS [Go to Source](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16534088/)up to 30%.

For people who struggle with obesity, exercise can be difficult for a variety of factors. Some of our patients have mobility issues. Some feel shame when they enter a gym or exercise in public. Some of our patients are simply discouraged after years of spotty exercise attempts and let-downs. Exercise doesn’t mean you have to run miles a day, it simply means intentional movement. This can mean walking your dog, playing pickleball, riding a bike with your kids…the list goes on and on. Our team is here to provide the accountability that comes with knowing you aren’t on this journey alone.

## Weight Loss Options

At The Bariatric Experts, our goal is to empower our patients to achieve a healthy weight and lifestyle. This is why we provide a full range of weight loss treatments and options, and we walk hand-in-hand with each patient on their journey to success.

![confident man looking in mirror after weight loss](https://www.expertsurgical.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/confident-man-mirror.webp)

## Medical Weight Loss

Our medical weight loss program is a good option for patients who only need to achieve moderate weight loss, don’t feel ready for weight loss surgery, or who would prefer a non-surgical option for weight loss.

Under Dr. Stowers’ supervision, patients in this program have access to a full set of tools designed to help them achieve healthy and sustainable weight loss.

A key part of our medical weight loss program is prescription weight loss medication, but that is only one component of this holistic approach. Patients also have access to:

- Support, including nutrition counseling and meal planning
- Exercise education and tracking
- Body composition analysis
- Virtual appointments to help stay on track

## Weight Loss Surgery

When combined with healthy diet and lifestyle choices weight loss surgery can help patients achieve significant long-term weight loss and resolve potentially life-threatening conditions associated with obesity, such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.

### Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric sleeve surgery, or vertical sleeve gastrectomy, works in two ways: it reduces the amount of food a person is able to eat and it also alters hunger hormones so the patient feels fuller, faster.

[Learn more about gastric sleeve surgery](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/surgery/gastric-sleeve/)

### Gastric Bypass Surgery

Gastric bypass surgery is performed to reduce the size of the stomach and bypass part of the intestine. Patients who undergo gastric bypass are able to eat less food and they absorb fewer calories.

[Learn more about gastric bypass surgery](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/surgery/gastric-bypass/)

### Lap Band Removal

Unfortunately, many patients experience complications or inadequate weight loss after their gastric band procedure. We offer laparoscopic Lap Band removal to help patients get back on track.

[Learn more about Lap Band removal](https://www.expertsurgical.com/weight-loss/surgery/lap-band-removal/)

### Weight Loss Surgery Revision

Sometimes, bariatric surgery patients don’t achieve the results they desired. These patients may benefit from revisional weight loss surgery, such as gastric sleeve revision or conversion from gastric band to gastric sleeve.

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our customers use the Site.

This website uses Google remarketing to advertise online using text or image ads on the Google Display Network. Remarketing is a feature that lets us reach people who have previously visited our site, and show them relevant ads when they visit other sites on the Google Display Network.

For websites using remarketing, a third-party DoubleClick cookie is used to enable remarketing for products like AdWords on the Google Display Network. When someone visits our website, a few lines of code will drop an anonymous browser cookie. This cookie is a small file that stores information. The cookie will store the site visit, but does not store any sensitive information, such as visitor name, address or any other piece of information that might personally identify the visitor. The cookie will be enabled for a set period of time, such as 30 or 60 days, at which time, the cookie expires.

### What is the Google Display Network?

A group of more than a million websites, videos, and apps where ads can appear. Sites in this network have partnered with Google to show relevant ads.

### Opting out of Remarketing

Visitors may opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting the [Ads Preferences Manager](https://www.google.com/ads/preferences/).

Visitors may opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the [Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page](http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp).

## Do Not Track Signals

Our Site currently does not respond to Do Not Track (“DNT”) signals and operates as described in this Policy, whether or not a DNT signal is received.

## Global Privacy Control

Some browsers and browser extensions support the [Global Privacy Control (“GPC”)](https://globalprivacycontrol.org/) that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating your choice to opt-out from certain types of data processing, including data sales. GPC is a web-browser level setting, maintained by either a browser or a browser extension, that is typically set by the user, not the website. In certain regions, when we detect such a signal, we will make reasonable efforts to respect your choices indicated by a GPC setting as required by applicable law.
