At Bariatric Surgery Tijuana Center, weight loss surgery is an operation that is performed in order to help people with extreme and excessive obesity. Evidence suggests that bariatric surgery may lower death rates for patients with severe obesity, especially when coupled with healthy eating and lifestyle changes after surgery. These are the procedures we offer:
Gastric Sleeve
Gastric Sleeve Surgery is one of the newest types of bariatric surgery in the treatment of severe obesity.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric Bypass surgery is used to treat morbid obesity and obesity co-morbidities through food restriction and malabsorption.
Mini Bypass
A mini gastric bypass creates a long narrow tube of the stomach along its right border (the lesser curvature).
Bariatric Revisión
A bariatric revision is a procedure performed on a patient to correct or modify a previous bariatric surgery.
Sleeve gastrectomy
In a sleeve gastrectomy, part of the stomach is separated and removed from the body. The remaining section of the stomach is formed into a tubelike structure. This smaller stomach cannot hold as much food. It also produces less of the appetite-regulating hormone ghrelin, which may lessen your desire to eat. However, sleeve gastrectomy does not affect the absorption of calories and nutrients in the intestines.
Gastric Sleeve is an excellent choice for most bariatric candidates because it provides high levels of expected weight loss and low surgical risks. It also provides easy dietary recommendations post-surgery, something enviable for other bariatric surgeries. Overall, the gastric sleeve procedure is the ideal procedure for many patients.
