About

360 Bariatrics is a Plano based weight loss practice that helps individuals successfully reduce and manage their weight to live happier, healthier lives. We help patients successfully address unhealthy physical, emotional, and social challenges associated with being overweight.

Led by a Board Certified and Fellowship Trained Bariatric Surgeon, Sheetal Patel, MD, FACS, and her supportive team of weight management experts provide a comprehensive weight loss system that helps patients achieve long term results.

With a balanced process that incorporates surgical, nutritional and psychological components, 360 Bariatrics offers “one-on-one” personalized care before, during, and after the surgery.  The 360 Bariatrics process continues after the surgical procedure with a multidisciplinary team that provides a unique support system.  Dr. Patel and her caring team treat each patient on a case-by-case basis as individuals with specific medical conditions and life experiences related to their weight.

360 Bariatrics enables their patients to lead healthy, happy and productive lives without experiencing unhealthy weight gain in the future.

 

The 360 Bariatrics Process incorporates a Bariatric Wellness Program that provides comprehensive care both prior to and after surgery. Our goal is not only to help you lose weight but maintain life long weight loss.

At 360 Bariatrics we partner with clients to provide a healthy, proven combination of surgical, psychological and nutritional tools to reduce and manage their weight. We do not promote quick-fix weight loss solutions, nor do we base success on the number of surgeries performed. Instead 360 Bariatrics provides multifaceted levels of care that help to ensure each individuals long-term success with weight management while living healthy lives.

The 360 Process utilizes an integrated four step system that ensure long-term success and a healthy life:
