Minimally Invasive Bariatrics

Specialties

Minimally Invasive Bariatrics is a comprehensive bariatric surgery practice located in Arlington and serves the Dallas and Fort Worth metropolitan area. Our surgeon, Dr. Glenn Ihde, performs a full range of bariatric and abdominal surgery procedures to improve the lives of our patients. We focus on providing our patients with the best medical and surgical care that we can offer. That is why we perform laparoscopic, endoscopic, and incisionless procedures. By utilizing technology that allows us to perform surgical procedures without creating large abdominal incisions, we improve the surgical and recovery experience for our patients. Fewer, smaller, or nonexistent incisions require shorter recovery periods, leave minimal or no scarring, and put the patient at less risk of infection and other post-​operative complications.

History

Established in 2001.

At our practice serving Arlington, Dallas, and Fort Worth, bariatric surgery is not just about the procedure. It is a long process, consisting of many stages, which we are committed to helping the patient through from beginning to end. It begins with our in-​depth educational program and continues long after recovery with our Post-​bariatric counseling and support.

Also, Dr. Ihde works hard to ensure that he is able to offer all types of bariatric surgery, not just one or two techniques. By keeping up with the latest developments in the field and learning new procedures as they become available, Dr. Ihde is able to provide a wide range of options for his patients.

Dr. Ihde believes that the success of any bariatric surgery procedure depends on the quality of the education that the patient receives about how the surgery works and what is required to achieve his or her goals. Contact our practice serving Dallas, Arlington, and Fort Worth to learn more.
