Michael V. Seger, MD, F.A.C.S.: Among the Finest Bariatric Surgeons San Antonio Offers
The best bariatric surgeons San Antonio has to offer can be found at BMI of Texas. Dr. Michael V. "Mickey" Seger attended The University of Texas at Austin, where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Zoology. Upon graduation, he moved south to San Antonio to attend medical school at the University of Texas Health Science Center where he began studying to become a Texas bariatric surgeon.
He completed his residency training at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center.
Since the bariatric surgeons San Antonio provides through BMI of Texas promote experience, many patients admire Dr. Seger’s completion of an advanced laparoscopic fellowship at the University of Texas HSC Houston under the guidance of Philip L. Leggett, M.D.
In July of 2004, the Seger family moved back to San Antonio to join New Dimensions Weight Loss Surgery where he served as president in 2007 as one of the most accomplished bariatric surgeons in Texas. That same year, with the addition of their twin girls in October, Dr. Seger and his wife Jennifer became the proud parents of five children.
Dr. Seger founded the Minimally Invasive Surgeons of Texas advanced laparoscopic and Texas bariatric surgery training program in San Antonio, where surgeons from around the country come to learn these highly specialized procedures. He is a national proctor for Ethicon Endosurgery traveling around the country teaching surgeons how to place and manage the REALIZE Band.
Beyond acting as a Texas bariatric surgeon, Dr. Seger also performs a broad array of minimally invasive general surgery. He performs extremely complex abdominal surgery using very small incisions and a camera. Dr. Seger uses this technique to complete operations on the stomach, colon, intestine, spleen, kidney, pancreas, liver, gall bladder and adrenal glands. By using these minimally invasive techniques, patients now experience less pain and can return to their normal activities much sooner than with traditional open surgery.
Dr. Seger has presented articles at national and international meetings on bariatric and laparoscopic surgery and is on the board and the past treasurer of the Texas Association of Bariatric Surgeons. As an accomplished Texas bariatric surgeon, he is also a member of the Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons, American Society of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgeons, Bexar County Medical Society, and the American Medical Association.
