Bariatric Surgery: More Than Weight Loss—A Life Transformed

​

Obesity is a chronic condition that impacts far more than appearance. It affects your energy levels, mobility, cardiovascular health, respiratory function, and even life expectancy.

​

Our bariatric procedures are designed not just for weight loss—but to improve or resolve many obesity-related health conditions, including:

• Type 2 Diabetes

• Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

• Sleep Apnea

• High Cholesterol

• Joint Pain & Arthritis

• Fatty Liver Disease

• Infertility (especially due to PCOS)

• Cardiovascular Risk Factors

 

For many patients, weight loss is just the beginning. The real transformation is in confidence, vitality, and long-term health.

Why Choose Bariatric Surgery?

​

When traditional methods like diet and exercise haven’t worked, bariatric surgery offers a powerful medical solution:

• Reduces the size of your stomach to limit intake

• Regulates hunger hormones like ghrelin

• Enhances blood sugar control

• Improves mobility and reduces joint stress

 

Bariatric surgery is not a shortcut—it’s a reset, supported by expert care and long-term lifestyle coaching. At Slim Surgical in Houston, we’re with you at every step.

​

Who Should Consider Bariatric Surgery?

​

You may be a good candidate if:

• Your BMI is 40 or higher

• Your BMI is 35 or higher with obesity-related conditions (e.g., diabetes, sleep apnea)

• You’ve tried other weight loss methods without sustained results

• You’re committed to long-term health and lifestyle changes

 

We offer thorough assessments and consultations to help determine the best surgical plan for your needs and goals.

Hernia Surgery: Restore Comfort and Prevent Complications

​

A hernia occurs when internal tissue or an organ pushes through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. While some may appear mild at first, untreated hernias can lead to serious medical complications.

​

Dr. Angela Kaza offers minimally invasive hernia repairs using both laparoscopic and robotic-assisted methods—with a focus on long-term strength and function.

 

Types of Hernias Treated:

• Inguinal Hernias – Common in men; located in the groin

• Umbilical Hernias – Near the belly button

• Ventral Hernias – Along the abdominal wall

• Incisional Hernias – At the site of previous surgeries

 

Why Early Treatment Matters

​

Delayed treatment can result in:

• Strangulation – Loss of blood supply to trapped tissue

• Bowel Obstruction – Leading to severe pain and digestive issues

• Chronic Pain and activity limitations

• Emergency surgery, which carries higher risks

• That’s why early diagnosis and minimally invasive repair are key to preventing complications.

 

Our Surgical Approach

​

Using robotic and laparoscopic technology, Slim Surgical offers:

• Small incisions and minimal scarring

• Mesh-reinforced repairs to strengthen the abdominal wall

• Reduced pain and lower risk of recurrence

• Faster return to work and daily activities

• Each procedure is personalized based on your anatomy, lifestyle, and the type of hernia.
