UT Bariatric Surgery

An American Society of Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence

Representing the best in their fields, UT bariatric surgeons bring special expertise to their patients to treat obesity by modification of the gastrointestinal tract to reduce nutrient intake and/or absorption. For individuals who have been unable to achieve significant weight loss through diet modifications and exercise programs alone, bariatric surgery may help to attain a more healthy body weight. Our surgeons are respected pioneers in minimally-invasive procedures. UT bariatric surgeons provide a comprehensive bariatric surgery program and perform more than 700 laparoscopic bariatric procedures each year.

The American Society for Bariatric Surgery (ASBS) has designated Memorial Hermann – Texas Medical Center’s Bariatric Program as a “Center of Excellence” in the United States. The Memorial Hermann program is a partnership with The University of Texas Medical School at Houston. Bariatric surgeons Erik B. Wilson, M.D. and Brad Snyder, M.D. are assistant professors of surgery at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston.
