Keyhole surgery in Puerto Vallarta using either 4 or 5 very tiny incisions.
Typically, patients lose about half of their weight within six months of treatment. In about one year, you can expect to achieve approximately 90 percent weight loss*
The size of your stomach will be significantly reduced during the procedure, including the portion that creates the hunger hormone. As a result, you will feel fuller quicker and for longer.*
The less invasive nature of the procedure reduces your risk of infection, malnutrition, and other serious complications compared to other weight loss surgeries.
The Gastric Sleeve is a wonderful tool to help you lose your excess weight through diet and exercise.
*Notice the results may vary for each patient depending on many factors related to race, age, health, gender and whether or not the patient follows the doctor’s post-operative instructions.
Gastric bypass is one of the most popular forms of weight loss surgery. This procedure can help limit your caloric intake, promote feelings of satiety, and facilitate significant weight loss. Gastric bypass surgery, also known as Roux-en-Y, works by creating a smaller stomach pouch and bypassing a section of the small intestines. These two techniques combine to make Roux-en-Y one of the most effective bariatric procedures available today. Weight Loss Team and the highly trained bariatric team of bariatric surgeons perform gastric bypass at state-of-the-art CMQ family of hospitals in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The bariatric surgeons at Weight Loss Team use advanced laparoscopic surgical techniques to reduce recovery times. In addition, we have skilled bariatric certified anesthesiologists on staff to ensure your safety and comfort throughout treatment.
There are two aspects to gastric bypass which work together to provide significant results. First, the bariatric surgeon will create a smaller stomach pouch by dividing the upper area of the stomach from the rest of the organ. Typically, the new stomach pouch holds about an ounce, limiting the amount of food you can consume at a time. Next, the surgeon will divide the small intestine, bypassing the stomach and a portion of the gastrointestinal tract completely. He will then attach the top portion of the intestine further down to allow stomach acids and digestive enzymes to mix with the food you eat. This process lessens the number of calories and nutrients your body absorbs. Rerouting the food stream also alters the hormones in your gut to promote feelings of satiety and decrease hunger. At our bariatric center, our doctors are trained to perform gastric bypass using laparoscopic surgical techniques. Instead of creating a single large incision, the surgeon will create several small incisions, which allows for a more comfortable and less invasive procedure. All of our bariatric surgeries are performed under the supervision of our skilled anesthesiologist, Dr. Jovanny Hurtado, to ensure the patients remain relaxed and comfortable during treatment.
