PROCEDURES
This is the gold standard treatment for obesity in the world. With this operation, the surgeon removes between 70 to 80% of the stomach leaving the rest in the form of a tube or sleeve.
For patients with a BMI of 28 or below, it is a non-surgical procedure in which a balloon is inserted into the patient’s stomach and subsequently inflated with saline or serum. It is the fastest solution for weight loss.
Procedure for patients who have already had previous bariatric surgery. An example of this procedure would be a revision surgery from lap band to gastric sleeve.
Procedure that consists in making the food go directly from the stomach or reduced stomach (in case of a previous gastric sleeve) towards the end of the intestine.
Is a procedure that results in the greatest overall weight loss. In addition, it offers the best control of metabolic conditions, like diabetes. The operation is performed in two steps. First, we conduct a sleeve gastrectomy, removing around 80 percent of the stomach and converting the remainder into a slender tube.
We then divide the small bowel that normally connects to the stomach (called the duodenum) to create the bypass.
