Surgeries
Types of Weight Loss Surgeries
There are several types of weight loss surgeries available, each with its unique benefits and risks. Understanding the different options can help patients make an informed decision about which procedure is best for their needs and goals.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a popular weight loss procedure that involves removing a large portion of the stomach. This restrictive surgery limits food intake, reducing hunger and promoting weight loss. The gastric sleeve procedure is typically performed laparoscopically, resulting in minimal scarring and a faster recovery time. Patients can expect to lose 60-80% of their excess weight within the first year after surgery.
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric bypass surgery, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is a more complex procedure that involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting a section of the small intestine. This surgery limits food intake and reduces nutrient absorption, promoting significant weight loss. Gastric bypass surgery is typically performed laparoscopically and requires a longer recovery time compared to gastric sleeve surgery. Patients can expect to lose 70-90% of their excess weight within the first year after surgery.
Adjustable Gastric Banding
Adjustable gastric banding is a purely restrictive surgery that involves placing an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach. This procedure creates a small stomach pouch, limiting food intake and promoting weight loss. The band’s tightness can be adjusted through an access port placed under the skin, allowing patients to achieve optimal weight loss results. Adjustable gastric banding is typically performed laparoscopically and requires a shorter recovery time compared to gastric bypass surgery. Patients can expect to lose 40-60% of their excess weight within the first year after surgery.
Sadi-S
The SADI-S (Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy) is an advanced bariatric procedure designed for super obese patients (those with a BMI over 50 or severe obesity-related health conditions). It combines the benefits of a sleeve gastrectomy with a duodenal switch, offering significant weight loss and improvement in obesity-related comorbidities like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
If you’re considering the SADI-S procedure performed by Dr. Huacuz, a board-certified bariatric surgeon in Tijuana, Mexico, here’s what you need to know about the procedure, its benefits, and the typical all-inclusive package offered at bariatric surgery centers in Tijuana.
Revision Surgery
Revision bariatric surgery is a highly specialized field, and Dr. Huacuz, a board-certified bariatric surgeon in Tijuana, Mexico, is experienced in performing complex revision procedures. These surgeries are designed to address issues such as weight regain, inadequate weight loss, or complications from a previous bariatric procedure. Below is a detailed overview of the revision surgeries Dr. Huacuz performs, including conversions from one procedure to another, and what you can expect from the process.
Duodenal Switch
The (Bilio pancreatic Derivation) or Duodenal Switch, as it is commonly known, is considered a mixed procedure, in which the restrictive element consists in leaving a tubular stomach with a capacity of 100 to 120 ml. (similar to Sleeve Gastrectomy) and the mal-absorption element consists in deviating the food through the DUODENO, and therefore obtaining a shorter segment for intestinal absorption, which turns this into a procedure with a higher mal-absorption level.
Basically the person will eat less because the stomach’s capacity will be reduced. The stomach’s emptying process remains untouched which translates into a minimal possibility of vomit.
- Prices might change due to a patient’s medical condition.
- The quotes are considered for patients with BMI lower than 49.
- Airfare to San Diego Airport is not included in any of our surgery packages.
