A New Level of Care With Advanced Technology
Texas Center for Bariatrics & Advanced Surgery uses the ultra minimally invasive Da Vinci Xi® surgical system for bariatric and general surgery. This advanced surgical technology eclipses standards set by older technologies such as traditional laparoscopic surgery.
While laparoscopic was once heralded for its "minimally" invasive capabilities, the Da Vinci's Xi sets the bar higher with its "ultra" minimally invasive standard of care and 3DHD vision of the operating field for the surgeon. Da Vinci's smaller incisions and greater precision mean less pain, reduced scarring, and faster healing. In other words, the best patient results possible.
Intuitive Surgical's Da Vinci Xi is the most advanced surgical system currently available for bariatric surgery and its advanced capabilities are enhanced in the hands of an experienced master.
Dr. Cribbins has used the Da Vinci surgical system since 2012 and his years of hands-on experience have allowed him to master this incredible technology that translates movements to extend a surgeon's capabilities, range of motion, and precision.

Qualification for Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery
Body mass index (BMI) is a height-to-weight ratio method used in diagnosing a healthy weight versus being overweight. Our doctors' factor BMI when determining whether bariatric surgery is appropriate for a patient.
We often hear that many people think that they are too old or don't weigh enough to qualify for weight loss surgery.
If you have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or greater, you DO qualify.
We also do not put limits on age. Our patients are between 18-75 years of age. EVERYONE deserves a long life at a healthy weight and that is exactly the opportunity weight loss surgery delivers. We are supportive and compassionate surgeons who do not judge. We simply find long-lasting weight loss solutions that work.
Body Mass Index of 30 or greater
A BMI of 30 or greater makes people candidates for weight loss surgery.
Body Mass Index of 35-39.9
A BMI of 35-39.9 with one or more obesity-related condition makes you a great candidate for weight loss surgery. Obesity related medical conditions are often referred to as comorbid, which refers to the condition of two disorders or diseases coexisting at once.
Body Mass Index of 40 or greater
A BMI of 40 or greater makes you a candidate for weight loss surgery on this basis alone.

I could not ask for a better experience both pre and post opp. Dr. Cribbins set great expectations and I had zero pain and no pain meds post surgery after my gastric sleeve procedure. The staff was a joy to deal with and always upbeat and positive. I would highly recommend as Dr. Cribbins took exceptional care of me.

Dr. Cribbins and his staff are wonderful. I thought about doing the VSG for over two years. I decided to just do a consult and see where it goes. I was blessed to find Texas Center for Bariactrics but more thankful that my consult made my nerves go away. The staff was so welcoming and honestly Dr. Cribbins is the coolest doctor I’ve ever met! The whole process from consult, pre-op and surgery have been stress free and amazing. I know everyone’s journey is different but everything he stated that would happen during this journey has been spot on for me. I want to thank you guys for being so personal with patients care and so welcoming like family. Also who can forget about Marty! You definitely made my day at my follow up appointment buddy.
