Dr. Nicholson’s Dallas weight loss clinic provides exceptional care, offering the three most successful surgical weight loss options available:

The Lap-Band is the only procedure available that is adjustable and is also completely reversible. By reducing the internal capacity of the stomach, the Lap-Band restricts the amount of food that can be consumed.  Since there is no cutting, or intestinal rerouting involved, Lap-Band Surgery is considered the least traumatic of all weight loss surgeries.

Dr. Nicholson’s Dallas weight loss clinic also performs Gastric Bypass surgery.  Gastric Bypass surgery makes the stomach smaller and allows food to bypass a section of the small intestine.  In Gastric Bypass surgery, the stomach is made smaller by creating a pouch at the top of the stomach. This smaller section of stomach is then connected directly to the middle of the small intestine, bypassing the rest of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine. Most people are able to return to their normal activities within 2 to 4 weeks after Gastric Bypass surgery.

Dr. Nicholson’s Dallas weight loss clinic also performs the Sleeve Gastrectomy, which in some cases, is the best solution for individuals who are concerned about the potential long-term side effects of a Gastric Bypass surgery.  This procedure produces weight loss purely through the principle of restriction.  The stomach is restricted by dividing it vertically. However, This part of the procedure is not reversible. The stomach that remains is shaped like a banana. The nerves to the stomach and the outlet valve (pylorus) remain intact with the idea of preserving the functions of the stomach while reducing the volume it can hold at any given time.
