A bariatric surgeon is a specialist who helps treat overweight and obesity when weight loss is no longer achieved through diet and exercise alone.
The first step is a comprehensive evaluation to better understand your case, including your overall health, lifestyle habits, and whether conditions such as diabetes, insulin resistance, or other medical issues are present. Based on this assessment, the specialist determines the most appropriate treatment option for you, whether that involves medical management, supervised lifestyle changes, or bariatric surgery.
In Ciudad Juárez, the cost of gastric sleeve surgery typically ranges from MXN $80,000 to $120,000. Pricing may vary depending on the hospital and the surgeon’s experience.
In general, candidates include individuals with a BMI over 35, or over 30 when associated conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea are present. However, a medical evaluation is essential to determine the best course of treatment for each patient.
Not all patients require surgery, as alternative treatment options may also be available.
Most patients are able to return to normal daily activities within less than 15 days. Hospital stays are typically between 1 and 2 days.
Complete recovery varies depending on the patient and the type of procedure performed, but thanks to minimally invasive techniques, recovery times are significantly shorter compared to open surgery.
Like any surgical procedure, bariatric surgery carries certain risks. These risks can be minimized through proper preoperative evaluation, the surgeon’s expertise, and the use of minimally invasive techniques.
Dr. Vizcarra performs a thorough evaluation to ensure each patient is in optimal condition before any procedure is performed.
Gastric sleeve surgery reduces the size of the stomach without altering the intestines, generally allowing for a faster recovery.
Gastric bypass surgery restructures both the stomach and part of the small intestine, which may result in greater weight loss and improved metabolic outcomes, especially in patients with type 2 diabetes.
