Obesity is a disease that brings with it several comorbidities that can put the patient’s life at risk. For the same reason, more and more bariatric surgery centers are offering their services to help treat obesity and overweight.
What is a bariatric surgery center?

Why are bariatric centers so popular?
In reality, there are several reasons why bariatric centers are becoming more popular, but it can be said that the main ones are the advantages it offers to the health and aesthetics of a person.
For overweight people, it is not easy to lose weight and for people with obesity, this is even more complicated. In many cases, even with a good diet and exercise, it is not easy to obtain the desired results.
On other occasions, the health problems that affect the patient are increasingly risky for his life, so sometimes it is necessary to stabilize him and perform an intervention.
Another point is the help it gives to overweight people, who, although exercise and changes in their diet, have already reached a more stable weight they require an intervention to be able to obtain the results they want.
Also, in other countries the cost of surgeries is high, and in Mexico they are more accessible. Cities like Tijuana are full of health professionals, so this type of procedure is more accessible mainly for tourists.
What procedures are performed in a bariatric center?
For the patient to reach a healthy weight, bariatric centers offer several procedures, including Gastric Bypass Mexico.
Gastric sleeve surgery
It is one of the most recommended interventions for people who have a BMI bigger than 50 and who have not been able to obtain results through other methods. The main objective of this surgery is to remove between 75% to 80% of the patient’s stomach, leaving a tubular stomach.
As with other medical procedures, several examinations and tests are performed on the patient before performing this surgery. Some of them are blood tests, gallbladder ultrasound, and physical examination.
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Through this surgery, a small pouch is created in the stomach, in which the surgeon connects it directly to the small intestine. In this way, the amount of food that the patient can eat will be limited, thus gradually losing weight.
There are two ways to perform this procedure, the first is by creating a stomach partition, although in some cases it may be reattached. The other alternative is to completely separate the two parts of the stomach. Usually, special preparation is not recommended for this treatment, however, this depends on the specialist.
Mini bypass
It is a procedure that is performed in less time, it also has the characteristic of being simpler since a simpler surgical technique is used. The main advantage of this procedure is that there are fewer risks.
Revisional bariatric surgery
There are times when patients undergo bariatric surgeries in unprofessional clinics, so they end up being the victims of bad surgery. On other occasions, the procedure did not work properly, due to the poor diet of the patient.
To find out what caused the bariatric procedure to fail and fix the problem, revisional bariatric surgery is necessary. Although this type of surgery can vary depending on the surgical procedure that the patient underwent before, as well as the problem that is causing it.
Likewise, it is necessary to take into consideration that revisional bariatric surgery is usually more complex and has more risks than previous surgery. For this reason, it is of the utmost importance that it is a qualified expert, who has the necessary experience, who performs this surgery.
