To know if you are a candidate, you must be evaluated by a specialist doctor; however, in general terms you must meet the following requirements:

• Age 16 or older

• Initial Body Mass Index greater than 40, or 35 with some other medical problem (diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, hypothyroidism, etc.) and a current BMI equal to or less than 30.

• You have no significant medical problems (either physical or psychological)

• No drug addictions

• Emotionally stable

• You exercise

• Good nutritional attachment

• Gastric bypass

• Gastric sleeve

• Intragastric balloon

• Weight loss due to hormonal drugs such as ozempic

• Massive weight loss through diet

Depending on the procedure:

• Gastric sleeve: 12 months

It is necessary to have maintained a stable weight for 6 to 12 months after your bariatric surgery.

We must do everything necessary to optimize wound healing and recovery potential prior to surgery, including quitting smoking at least 1-2 months beforehand and improving the patient's nutritional status. This often requires performing blood lab tests and taking some nutritional supplements.

There should always be at least one advisory consultation to ensure that your health is suitable for any surgery.

From 3 to 6 hours, depending on the type of procedure.

All surgeries carry a risk, however, our medical team is trained to reduce complications as much as possible, or, if any arise, to treat them efficiently.

Most patients will spend the first week after discharge at home, ideally with family or friends who may be able to help with healing and activities. Driving should not be done for two to three weeks. In addition, no excessive exercise or activity should be done for six weeks. This is to prevent complications such as delayed wound healing.

Usually by the sixth week, you can begin to stop using compression garments or tapes on the manipulated areas.

There is no pain during the procedure due to the medications used for anesthesia.

After surgery, the pain is non-existent to tolerable, thanks to the different painkillers that your doctor will prescribe you.
