About Nuself

What is Nuself?

Nuself is mainly a bariatric surgery practice with offices in Austin, Cedar Park and South Austin, Texas. Its surgical list includes the Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Bypass, SADI, Duodenal Switch and LAP Band, along with revision surgery and robotic procedures. Its non-surgical weight loss services are Skinny Shots, which Nuself ties to semaglutide, Gastric Balloons, an Endoscopic Sleeve and a Medical Weight Loss program built on meal replacements in four phases. It also offers Botox and Fillers, Morpheus 8, Liposuction and Bodytite, and an IV Lounge.

The prescribers named are Dr. Sashidhar Ganta and Dr. Jack Juprasert. Neither doctor's credentials are published. Nuself says Dr. Ganta performed its first gastric sleeve in Austin and Cedar Park in 2006, and that it has treated over 5000 patients. Its Google listing shows a 4.8 rating from 261 reviews. The main phone line is 866-512-5121.

This listing is for its Austin office at 11851 Jollyville Rd Ste 104.

What does it cost?

Nuself does not publish prices for its weight loss care or its medication, and it does not say whether medication is included in any fee. The first consultation is free. In its own words: "Contact us today to schedule a FREE consultation."

For bariatric surgery, Nuself says it accepts major insurance and self-pay patients and offers financing. Its self-pay packages include routine follow-up for 5 years, and it says self-pay surgery can be scheduled in about 2 weeks. Its insurance statement is about surgery, though. It does not say whether insurance covers the medical weight loss program, so ask that before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the prescription. Ask who writes it and who would follow you up, since neither doctor's credentials are published. Ask whether the monthly fee covers the medication or whether it is billed on top, and whether the semaglutide or tirzepatide is brand-name or compounded. Nuself has its own pages for both drugs, so ask which one you would be offered and why.

Then ask about everything around the medication. Ask what meals are included in the meal replacement program, who supplies them and what they cost. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, whether telehealth visits are available, and how cancellation works, including whether there is a membership term. Confirm the location as well. Its Google Maps listing gives a Cedar Park address that differs from the one on its own website, so ask which office you will be booked into.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are weighing surgery and medication under one practice and want one team to explain both. It is a weaker fit if you need a published monthly price before you call, since none is posted.
