DFW Bariatric Institute
Verified listingAbout DFW Bariatric Institute
DFW Bariatric Institute is primarily a surgical weight-loss practice, serving patients across Dallas and Fort Worth, with a smaller medical (non-surgical) weight loss program alongside its surgery offerings. If you're looking at bariatric surgery specifically, this is a clinic built around that: gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, mini gastric bypass, gastric banding, duodenal switch, revision surgery for a prior bariatric procedure, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, and robotic surgery as an operative option. For people who aren't ready for or don't want surgery, there's also a Medical Weight Loss program built around nutrition education and medical supervision, though the site doesn't spell out what medications or specific protocols that program uses.
On the money question -- usually the first thing anyone actually wants to know -- the clinic doesn't publish it. There's a "Special Self Pay Pricing" reference on the practice's page, but no dollar figures attached to it anywhere, and a dedicated pricing page on the site returns a 404 error rather than actual numbers. What the clinic does offer instead is a Free Insurance Check, run by staff described as Weight Loss Insurance Specialists, to help figure out whether a given insurance plan will cover surgery or related costs. That's a meaningfully different path than a flat cash price: it points toward this being an insurance-forward practice where the real cost depends on someone's individual coverage, worked out directly rather than posted online.
A few other things aren't available on the pages checked. No surgeon or provider is named anywhere, so there's no way to look up who'd actually be performing a procedure or running the medical program without contacting the office directly. Hours of operation aren't published, and telehealth availability isn't mentioned one way or the other -- reasonable, since bariatric surgery consultations and follow-up are typically in-person by nature, but not something to assume either way.
The bottom line: DFW Bariatric Institute is a fit for someone specifically considering surgical weight loss (or wanting help figuring out if insurance will pay for it), not someone comparison-shopping on price, since none is posted. Anyone interested will need to start with a call or the insurance check rather than a price list.
