Now in New Braunfels, Texas Bariatric Specialists, Nilesh A. Patel, M.D. performs minimally invasive weight-loss procedures, including Gastric Bypass, Lap-Band, Gastric Sleeve, and Revision surgeries. And yet, while he’s a nationally-recognized expert in this field, patients mostly compliment Dr. Patel’s directness, attentive care and overwhelming passion to help people live a better, longer life.

“You can’t even consider it a job anymore. It’s almost a gift you’ve been given to be able to make people happy,” Dr. Patel says. “We’ve had patients who were not able to get pregnant because of their weight and then, after their procedure, went on to have a child or multiple children. Patients are typically in the hospital for one or two days and back to work in just over a week. Immediately after surgery, the pounds begin to disappear while a number of health benefits will surface. Weight-loss procedures have been proven to reverse or drastically improve Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hypertension, heart disease, sleep disorders, asthma and infertility. We truly make dreams come true.”

“This type of surgery is addictive for me because of the results. There is little else a doctor can do that revolutionizes a person’s world the way gastric bypass does,” says Dr. Patel. “Very few operations save lives and enhances a patient’s lifestyle at the same time. We are truly putting the life back in a person’s lifestyle.”

Weight-loss surgery not only transforms a person physically, but mentally. Already one of only two local practices primarily focused on weight-loss procedures, Texas Bariatric Specialists further stands out as one of the only medical offices staffed with doctors, psychologists and nutritionists to fully treat a patient before, during and long after their surgery.

Local residents seeking weight-loss measures now have quick access to doctors, support groups, free seminars, supplements and nutritional guidance with the arrival of Texas Bariatric
Specialists. The practice also has offices in Austin and Corpus Christi, San Antonio and offers Free Seminars in Houston, Laredo, and Killeen. Dr. Patel also specializes in revising failed weight-loss procedures and offers non-surgical programs.
