Not every patient needs surgery to lose weight. At Harlingen Bariatrics, we offer proven, non-surgical weight loss solutions designed to help you shed pounds safely, improve your health, and stay accountable—without going under the knife.
Many patients who underwent Lap-Band surgery 10+ years ago are now seeking removal due to:
Band slippage or erosion
Acid reflux, vomiting, or food intolerance
Lack of long-term weight loss
Mechanical issues with the band
Overall dissatisfaction with results
Whether you’ve experienced side effects or simply feel like your weight loss has stalled, our Harlingen-based team
can help you safely remove the band and explore your next step forward.
Our comprehensive approach includes:
One-on-one consultations with a bariatric provider

Weekly weigh-ins and support
