Welcome to RioSurgical Weight Loss, a San Antonio-based general surgery practice specializing in laparoscopic bariatric surgery.
Joel A. Rodriguez, M.D. established RioSurgical Weight Loss for the advanced surgical treatment of overweight individuals. Dr. Rodriguez specializes in weight loss surgery, including laparoscopic gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, duodenal switch, gastric band, and revision surgeries (revision of previous bariatric procedures).
Dr. Rodriguez is fellowship-trained in laparoscopic bariatric surgery which is a minimally invasive surgical approach. This is the highest level of training a surgeon can receive in this field. He has undergone additional extensive training specifically in the most complex bariatric surgical procedures, in order to offer a completely comprehensive approach to help every patient overcome the challenges of obesity and live a healthy lifestyle.
