💙 What is gastric sleeve surgery?
Dr. Hugh Houston breaks it down simply. Gastric sleeve reduces the size of the stomach and reshapes it into a long, narrow structure which helps patients feel full with smaller meals. It also lowers levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin, making it easier to stay consistent with healthy habits and maintain long-term results.
It is one of several effective options for patients who need a lasting, surgical approach to weight loss.
If you are starting to explore your options, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

💙 Looking for quick, bariatric-friendly snacks this season?
Emily Crawford, our dietitian, shares some of her favorite grab-and-go options that make it easy to stay on track. Think simple, high-protein choices that fit into real life… especially on busy winter days.
String cheese, greek yogurt, meat sticks, and boiled eggs are all easy wins. The goal is the same: keep protein high, keep portions balanced, and choose snacks that support your long-term success.

💙 Ever wondered why gastric bypass surgery works?
Dr. Hugh Houston explains it in simple terms: with a gastric bypass the stomach is made smaller and the intestines are rerouted to help reduce hunger, support portion control, and improve long-term weight management.
It is one of several effective options for patients who need a lasting, surgical approach to weight loss. At Nashville Weight Loss Solutions it is always paired with nutrition guidance and long-term support.

🚩 Detox teas? Dr. Hugh Houston says they’re not the answer.

🚗 Fast food doesn’t have to derail your goals.
Emily Crawford, our dietitian at Nashville Weight Loss Solutions, shares her top picks:
-Chick-fil-A grilled nuggets
-Salads with grilled chicken (once raw veggies are back in your plan)
-A burger wrapped in lettuce instead of bread (when you’re at that stage)
Her advice is simple: look for protein and vegetables first.
