Throughout your weight loss journey, if you’ve found that diets and GLP-1 medications only provide temporary results, weight loss surgery with Dr. Mehta may be the next step toward lasting success. Our surgical approach is designed to deliver real, sustainable results by addressing the underlying factors that make weight loss difficult, helping you take control of your health and achieve long-term transformation.
Below are just a few of the reasons patients choose Dr. Mehta as their surgeon for their weight loss journey:
Board-Certified Bariatric and General Surgeon specializing in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted weight loss procedures.
Medical Director of Bariatric Surgery at Memorial Hermann Sugar Land, where he led the program to earn its Center of Excellence designation.

If you’re considering surgical weight loss, you deserve a surgeon who brings both expertise and care to the journey. Dr. Sheilendra Mehta combines advanced surgical skill with a personal approach that helps patients feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way.
A board-certified bariatric and general surgeon, Dr. Mehta has performed thousands of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted procedures designed to help patients achieve lasting results. As Medical Director of Bariatric Surgery at Memorial Hermann Sugar Land Hospital, he led the program to earn its Center of Excellence designation, a reflection of his commitment to quality care and patient success.
Dr. Mehta’s extensive background includes training at Texas Tech University, UT Health Houston, Staten Island University Hospital, and The Methodist Hospital, along with years of published research in bariatric surgery and reflux treatment. However, what truly defines Dr. Mehta's practice is his compassion. He takes time to understand every patient’s goals, lifestyle, and long-term needs, making sure no one feels like “just another surgery.”
Weight loss (bariatric) surgery works by changing how the body processes food and regulates hunger, helping patients lose significant weight and improve or even reverse conditions such as diabetes, sleep apnea, and high blood pressure.
Dr. Mehta and the TLC | Surgery team understand that every patient’s weight loss journey is unique. That’s why they offer a comprehensive range of advanced, minimally invasive surgical options tailored to individual needs and goals.
Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy): Reduces the size of the stomach to limit food intake and decrease hunger hormones, supporting steady, sustainable weight loss.
Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y): Reroutes the digestive system to change how the body absorbs food, promoting significant and long-term results.
Revisional Surgery: Addresses or refines previous weight loss procedures to improve outcomes and ensure continued success.
Dr. Mehta takes time to understand each patient’s medical history, lifestyle, and goals before recommending a surgical plan, ensuring a personalized approach to achieving lasting health and confidence.
