Gastric Banding in Tijuana, Mexico

Explaining Lap Band Surgery

Gastric banding is a kind of restrictive weight-loss surgery that involves the placement of a silicone band on the upper part of the stomach, creating a smaller stomach pouch that serves as the new stomach.

Since the banded stomach now has a much lesser capacity to hold food, the patient feels satiated even after small meals thus leading to weight-loss.

Bariatric Sleeve Surgery Risks

As with any surgical procedure, weight-loss surgeries come with potential risks. Patients should take into account all potential bariatric sleeve surgery risks when considering going under the knife. However, finding the right surgeon will help minimize the chances that they will ever experience such complications.

Vertical sleeve surgery is one of the safest bariatric surgeries available. According to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), less than 1 percent of the 16,000 sleeve gastrectomy patients in the study experienced serious complications within 30 days after undergoing surgery. Among other bariatric surgeries, the study found the risks of gastric sleeve surgery to be some of the least likely for patients to experience.

How Is Gastric Sleeve Different From Other Weight Loss Surgeries?

Gastric sleeve surgery reduces the size of the stomach by 85%. This is achieved by cutting vertically and removing a large portion of the stomach and leaving the rest – the “sleeve” – behind. This limits the amount of food a patient can eat, leading to weight loss. It is different in that it does not involve causing food to bypass any part of the digestive system and requires no artificial prosthetics to be left in after the surgery.

Revision Weight Loss Surgery in Tijuana

If you have already had bariatric surgery, but it has gone bad or you feel as though you did not receive the results you were looking for, it might be good to consider revision weight loss surgery in Tijuana. It may seem financially impossible to be able to afford another bariatric surgery; however, you could possibly save up to 70% on bariatric surgery when you go south of the border.

Since there isn’t one standard fix-it solution to a medical problem as complex as severe obesity, it is common for patients to get revision surgeries when one is not producing the weight loss they desire. A study by the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery at Saint Pierre University Hospital in Brussels, Belgium, found a reoperation rate of 60% of patients who had received gastric band surgery. Luckily, if you need to change your surgical weight loss method, bariatric surgeons in Tijuana are not far.

Revision Weight-loss Surgery in Tijuana, Mexico

What Is Revision Weight Loss Surgery?

Revision weight loss surgery involves either adjusting or reversing a previous procedure, or converting it to a different one that will hopefully work better. Such an option might be necessary for a number of reasons:

  • Insufficient Weight Loss and/or Weight Regain
    • This could happen if you do not properly adapt to the new lifestyle required by your first surgery, or if the first operation fails to address your specific metabolic needs.
  • Unresolved Comorbidities
    • These are the life-threatening health problems associated with obesity, such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, high blood pressure and certain types of cancer. If a bariatric surgery does not mitigate these, it is not doing its job.
  • Medical Complications
    • As with any surgery, there are a number of associated risks involved with bariatric surgery. Some that may necessitate revision surgery are ulcer, stricture, malnutrition, vitamin deficiency, and over-malabsorption, among others.

If you have experienced any of these adverse effects of bariatric surgery, it may be wise to consider RWLS in Tijuana.

Gastric Bypass in Mexico by Dr. Cabrera

If you are obese and feel like you’ve tried everything to lose weight, it might be time to consider bariatric surgery. However, the outrageous costs for weight loss surgery in the United States and Canada could put the life saving procedures out of your financial reach. Fortunately, it is possible to get gastric bypass surgery in Mexico for a fraction of the price of North American clinics.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), medical costs for obese people are annually over $1,400 higher than for those who aren’t obese. This makes it very expensive to be obese in the long run. Getting a low-cost gastric bypass in Mexico could be a smart decision as it has the potential to save you money not just now, but over a long time.

Gastric Bypass in Tijuana, Mexico

What is Gastric Bypass?

Gastric bypass surgery involves the division of the stomach into two sections in order to limit the amount of food you can eat at a time. The smaller pouch is then connected to the small intestine, causing food to “bypass” the rest of the stomach.

This procedure, along with following a strict diet that the surgeon will set out for you, has the potential to cause you to drastically lose weight. This will put you out of risk of the multiple comorbidities associated with being obese, such as:

  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • Heart Disease
  • Liver Disease
  • Hypertension
  • Cancer
  • Mood Disorders
  • Dyslipidemia
  • Reproductive Disorders
