Meet the Team
Lake Granbury Medical Center's bariatric program is about so much more than weight loss - it's about arming you with the tools, information and inspiration needed to make and maintain profound changes for lifelong health and happiness. Our hands-on team features a bariatric surgeon, certified dietician, bariatric coordinator, compassionate office staff, hospital bariatric instructor, and specially-trained surgical and post-op inpatient care teams. Everyone is committed to helping patients successfully complete the journey to achieving better health and well-being. From pre-operative education to compassionate follow-up care, LGMC’s bariatric team is here to support patients through every phase of the weight loss journey.
LGMC’s bariatric program includes:
- Nutritional and dietary guidance
- Exercise education
- Cardiology and pulmonology assessment
- Pre-authorization assistance with insurance plans OR self-pay options
- Pre-Op “Weight Loss” Workshop to set expectations from pre-op to surgery, post-op recovery to the floor and discharging to home to first follow-up appointment
- Ongoing support for lasting health and happiness
Dr. Todd Belott specializes in weight-loss surgery and has over 16 years experience. His focus is helping patients become healthy through lifestyle changes, with surgery as the first step toward a new life.
The goal for patients is not only weight-loss, but also reducing or eliminating health problems associated with obesity. These include chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and lipid disorders.
Dr. Belott also specializes in minimally-invasive procedures, which typically result in less scarring and anesthesia as well as a faster recovery (compared to traditional surgery). More than 98% of laparoscopic surgery and robot-assisted surgery patients are discharged either the same day as surgery or with one overnight stay in the hospital. Most are able to return to work within one-to-two weeks of their surgeries.
