PROCEDURES
What is gastric sleeve surgery?
Gastric sleeve surgery involves removing about 80% of the stomach, transforming it into a thin tube or “sleeve.” Such a procedure significantly reduces the stomach’s capacity, helping to limit food intake and promote weight loss.
What are the benefits?
The gastric sleeve offers numerous benefits:
- Significant and sustained weight loss.
- Improved management or resolution of obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea, among others.
- Decreased appetite and increased feeling of fullness.
- Enhanced quality of life and overall well-being.
Do you qualify as a candidate?
You are an ideal candidate for gastric sleeve surgery if:
- You have a BMI of 40 or more or a BMI of 35 or more with weight-related medical conditions.
- You have tried to lose weight with diet and exercise without success.
- You are committed to following medical recommendations before and after surgery.
Pre-surgery recommendations
Before surgery, I recommend:
- Undergoing a complete medical evaluation.
- Following a specific diet to reduce liver size.
- Quitting smoking at least four weeks before surgery.
- Avoiding alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications.
Post-surgical care
After surgery, it is crucial to follow these care guidelines:
- Maintain a liquid diet during the first days, followed by soft foods and gradual solids.
- Take vitamin and mineral supplements to avoid nutritional deficiencies.
- Avoid alcohol and tobacco consumption.
- Engage in regular physical activity and attend follow-up appointments.
What is the intragastric balloon?
The intragastric balloon is a non-surgical procedure that involves inserting a silicone balloon into the stomach via endoscopy. This balloon is filled with a saline solution, occupying space in the stomach and helping you feel full faster, which aids in weight loss.
What are the benefits?
The benefits of the intragastric balloon include:
- Considerable weight loss without surgery.
- Outpatient procedure with quick recovery.
- It helps develop healthy eating habits.
Do you qualify as a candidate?
You are an ideal candidate for the intragastric balloon if:
- You have a BMI between 30 and 35.
- You have not achieved weight loss through diet and exercise.
- You seek a less invasive option than bariatric surgery.
Pre-surgery recommendations
Before surgery, I recommend:
- Undergoing a complete medical evaluation.
- Following a specific diet to reduce liver size.
- Quitting smoking at least four weeks before surgery.
- Avoiding alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications.
Post-surgical care
After surgery, it is crucial to follow these care guidelines:
- Maintain a liquid diet during the first days, followed by soft foods and gradual solids.
- Attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
- Adopt healthy eating habits and engage in regular physical activity.
- Follow medical recommendations for balloon removal, usually after six months.
What is gastric bypass?
Gastric bypass is a surgical procedure that reduces the size of the stomach and reroutes part of the small intestine. This change allows food to bypass most of the stomach and the first section of the small intestine, reducing calorie and nutrient absorption, thus helping with significant weight loss.
What are the benefits?
The benefits of gastric bypass include:
- Significant and sustained weight loss.
- Improved management or resolution of obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea, among others.
- Reduced appetite and increased feelings of fullness.
- Overall improvement in quality of life and well-being.
Do you qualify as a candidate?
You are an ideal candidate for gastric bypass if:
- You have a BMI of 40 or more or a BMI of 35 or more with severe obesity-related medical issues.
- You have tried to lose weight with diet and exercise without success.
- You are committed to following medical recommendations before and after surgery.

- Take vitamin and mineral supplements to avoid nutritional deficiencies.
- Avoid alcohol and tobacco consumption.
- Engage in regular physical activity and attend follow-up appointments.
What is a mini gastric bypass?
Mini gastric bypass is a less invasive bariatric surgery compared to traditional gastric bypass. It involves creating a small pouch in the stomach and directly connecting it to the small intestine, reducing the amount of food you can eat and calorie absorption.
What are the benefits?
The benefits of mini gastric bypass include:
- Significant and sustained weight loss.
- Improved management or resolution of obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea, among others.
- Shorter surgery time and faster recovery compared to traditional bypass.
- Lower risk of post-surgical complications.
Do you qualify as a candidate?
You are an ideal candidate for mini gastric bypass if:
- You have a BMI of 40 or more or a BMI of 35 or more with severe obesity-related medical issues.
- You have tried to lose weight with diet and exercise without success.
- You are committed to following medical recommendations before and after surgery.
