Services
Gastric Bypass
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass divides the stomach to create a smaller pouch connected to the small intestine. This dual-approach procedure restricts food intake while reducing calorie absorption. Patients typically experience significant weight loss through both anatomical changes and hormonal adjustments affecting appetite regulation.
Gastric Sleeve
This procedure removes 70-80% of the stomach, creating a banana-shaped sleeve that limits capacity to 100-150cc. By reducing ghrelin production, it decreases hunger sensations while maintaining normal digestive function. The minimally invasive approach ensures faster recovery and preserves stomach functionality compared to other bariatric options.
Lap Band
The Lap Band system creates a smaller stomach pouch through an adjustable silicone band placed around the upper stomach. This reversible procedure allows for postoperative adjustments to control food intake. Regular follow-ups ensure optimal band positioning while maintaining natural digestive processes.
Revisional Bariatric
Designed for patients needing corrective procedures after initial bariatric surgery, this service addresses inadequate weight loss or complications. Comprehensive evaluation of surgical history and lifestyle factors informs tailored revision strategies. The approach focuses on resolving technical issues while optimising long-term weight management outcomes.
Omega Loop
This simplified bypass procedure connects a stomach sleeve directly to the small intestine, creating malabsorption while restricting intake. The single anastomosis technique offers easier surgical execution with comparable results to traditional bypass methods. Patients benefit from significant weight loss through reduced calorie absorption and appetite regulation.

I can't say enough about Dr Bagshahi, his staff, and Baylor Trophy Club Hospital. Great quality medical attention, utmost professional staff, and absolutely the best hospital I have ever been to. (I've been through many surgeries over the past 45 years). I had the gastric sleeve revision from Lapband surgery. After completing 4 months of pre-op doctor visits, dietary consultations, psychological evaluation, and cardio clearance my original bariatric physician was unable to perform my surgery due to a shutdown of their hospital because of increased Covid hospitalizations. Dr Bagshahi graciously

From the beginning of the journey and currently up to almost a week after surgery.......communication has been solid. The team at the office is keeping in close contact with me to make sure I understand the next steps in my aftercare. My first visit with the doctor after my surgery helped clear up any questions that I had concerning the surgery and my recovery. I am clear as to when I start my vitamins, I know when to start pureed food, I have been given an intuitive schedule for each step of my food addition and recovery. Top notch so far, beginning until now.

The level of care and professionalism from Dr. Bagshahi and his team is the highest quality I've ever personally experienced. I read all Dr. Bagshahi's reviews from all forums for hours prior to visiting his office for the first time, and I must say, I know why he has excellent reviews. His bedside manner, level of care in and out of the OR is truly 5 star. Every last one of the ladies in the office are gems; always helpful, informative, smiling and appear truly happy when at work (that spoke volumes). The whole office atmosphere brings great energy. I knew without a doubt I had chosen the best
