Gastric Sleeve Surgery (VSG)

Gastric Sleeve Surgery is a very advanced form of weight loss surgery and is typically used for morbidly obese patients. During gastric sleeve surgery, about 85% of the stomach is completely removed. This means the weight-loss procedure is not reversible, unlike many other types of bariatric surgery.

The remaining portion of the stomach is formed into a sleeve, reducing the amount of food a patient can consume at once. Gastric sleeve surgery patients who undergo this bariatric procedure lose weight quickly due to reduced ghrelin hormones and a suite of naturally occurring hormones, such as GLP-1 and GIP, which make them feel fuller after eating and stay fuller longer. Gastric sleeve surgery has a higher success rate among those who need to lose 100 pounds or more.

Gastric Bypass Surgery

For those who haven’t seen results after standard diet and exercise attempts, gastric bypass surgery may be a viable option. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery is very effective because it divides the stomach into two separate pouches, a lower and upper pouch, which reconnects the smaller pouch to the lower portion of the small intestine.

This smaller stomach pouch can only hold about one cup of food, which restricts the amount of food that a patient can consume resulting in substantial weight loss. By limiting the food ingestion as well as the caloric intake overall, bariatric patients can lose a significant amount of weight in a short period of time. Many patients who have gastric bypass surgery will lose 10 to 20 pounds each month for about a year following their bariatric surgery procedure.

Gastric Balloon

Laparoscopic IntraGastric Balloon (IGB) or Gastric Balloon is a non-surgical implant, basically a fillable balloon, that is placed within the stomach to reduce its capacity. Individuals who are not completely ready to undergo bariatric surgery, the gastric balloon is an excellent non-surgical alternative.

Intragastric balloon is inserted endoscopically through a patients mouth while deflated. This weight loss tool takes about 15 minutes and allows patients to lose minimal weight. To get a jump start on losing weight, patients can opt to get IntraGastric Balloon. The gastric balloon procedure is not permanent. It is generally removed by the doctor after 6 months.

Duodenal Switch Surgery (BPD/DS & SADI)

Conventional Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS) and its variation, the Single-Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy (SADI-S), manipulate the ileum and bypass a large portion of the small intestine. These are indeed among the most potent bariatric operations, primarily because of their unique mechanism of action. They are more aggressive yet more effective than sleeve and bypass; DS patients see more permanent weight loss and reversal of comorbidities.

Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery

Mini Gastric Bypass is a type of weight loss surgery procedure that requires the stomach to divide into two separate pouches much like the regular gastric bypass surgery. This bariatric surgery option is a modified version of the commonly known gastric bypass, with similar results. The digestive system of the small intestine is rerouted with the smaller upper pouch.

The mini gastric bypass surgery helps bariatric patients to get fuller quicker and to feel full for a long period of time. This helps patients of this surgery type to lose weight faster, often losing up to 80% of body weight. Bariatric surgery in Tijuana, Mexico specializes is all weight loss procedures, including the mini gastric bypass surgery.
