About Sage Bariatric

What is Sage Bariatric?

Sage Bariatric is a physician-led weight loss practice at 9618 Huebner Rd., Suite 202, San Antonio, TX 78240. The phone number is 210-651-0303. It is mainly a bariatric surgery practice, and it also offers medical weight loss with GLP-1 injections. Its listed services are injections and medications, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, SADI-S, biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, revision surgery, general surgery, and physical therapy and psychological support. It does not list hormone therapy, peptide therapy or longevity medicine.

The medications it names are Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro. In its own words: "Sage offers physician-led, personalized care designed around your health, goals, and long-term success."

The practice lists these people as prescribers: Sonny Cavazos, FACS, MD; Monica Anz-Cavazos, MD; John J. Gonzalez, FACS, MD; Allen A. Alvarez, M.D.; John Pilcher, FACS, MD; Linda Golden, DNP, FNP-C, MSN, RN; Vanessa Rodriguez, APRN, FNP-C; and Corine "CJ" Johnson, APRN, FNP-C, MSN. Heidi Jensen, MS, RDN, LD, a registered dietitian, is on the team but is not listed as a prescriber.

The practice was formerly known as Texas Center For Medical And Surgical Weight Loss, so older listings may use that name. It reports that its surgeons have earned SA Top Docs status and other awards for 17 years straight. Its Google listing shows a 4.9 rating from 935 reviews.

What does it cost?

The only published price is a cash rate for sleeve gastrectomy that starts at $9900. That is a surgery price. The practice does not publish prices for its GLP-1 injections, and it does not say whether medication is included in any fee.

It accepts most insurances and offers financing and payment plans, but it gives no terms for any of them. Its free consult is labeled a surgical consult, and it does not say whether that consult applies to medical weight loss visits.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the injections are brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro, or a compounded version, and what the medication costs each month. Ask whether any monthly fee includes the medication, and what your full monthly total would be.

Ask who signs the prescription and whether you will see that same person at follow-up visits. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are billed separately. Ask whether insurance covers the medication or only the office visit, since "most insurances accepted" does not say which. Ask whether the free consult covers a medical weight loss visit. Ask whether telehealth is available and what the office hours are, since neither is listed. Finally, ask how cancellation works and whether there is a membership term.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in or can travel to San Antonio, and you want a practice where medication and bariatric surgery are both options. Get the full medication price in writing before you commit. If you want a medication-only program with a published monthly price, call first, because none is published here.
