Texas Medical Center

Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center specializes in weight loss (bariatric) surgery for morbidly obese patients, providing a dedicated floor with private rooms and specially trained nurses and staff attuned to the specific needs of weight loss patients. We offer the latest technology, including robotic-assisted surgery, which gives surgeons the flexibility of traditional open surgery while operating through tiny incisions. Robotic-assisted procedures simplify a number of existing surgeries, making them less invasive and decreasing recovery time. Our expertise means you'll have a full range of minimally invasive weight loss surgery options to consider, including:

  • Gastric Band & LAP-BAND©
  • Gastric Sleeve
  • Gastric Bypass Roux-en-Y
  • Duodenal Switch
  • Revisions
