Our Program
Experts in the treatment of obesity, new found hope and health, a patient oriented office, smiling faces. This is just a fraction of what you will find here at Texas Laparoscopic Consultants.
As a Centers of Excellence Bariatric program, we believe in providing our patients with a comprehensive weight loss program and a life long partner in dealing with obesity. TLC surgeons are pioneers and leaders in the field of bariatric and minimally invasive surgery. We offer a complete range of bariatric procedures, including Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, Realize Band, LAP-BAND, Sleeve Gastrectomy, and StomaphyX. You will not find a practice more dedicated to your care than you will here at TLC.
What is it that sets TLC Surgery apart from the rest?
1. Surgical Excellence
Dr. Scarborough and Dr. Yu are experts in laparoscopic weight loss surgery having performed over 1500 procedures since 2002. They have each had fellowship training in laparoscopic surgery. In addition, they are proctors for the Realize Adjustable Gastric Band and teach surgeons around the country not only in that, but also in Single Incision Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery.
2. Team Approach
Dr. Yu and Dr. Scarborough assist each other during major procedures so that our patients have two experienced surgeons performing their weight loss surgery. Also, we work with a team of specialists that include Cardiologists, Pulmonologists, and Critical Care Specialists to make each patient’s surgery and postoperative course as safe as possible.
3. Nutrition Program
Our Nutritionist, Donna Logan, in addition to being a highly experienced and dedicated professional, has had gastric bypass surgery and therefore brings first hand experience to our nutrition program. She teaches classes on all areas of nutrition for our weight loss surgery patients.
4. On-site Radiology
We are currently adding flouroscopy in our office that will enable us to adjust our patent’s gastric band more precisely and to diagnose any problems with the band or bypass more quickly and easily.
5. Single Incision Surgery
We are Houston’s most experienced single incision weight loss surgeons. That means fewer incisions and better cosmetic outcomes for our patients. Adjustable gastric banding and sleeve gastrectomy are routinely performed via this new technique.
