Why Consider Bariatric Surgery?
Understanding the risks and benefits will help you make an informed and confident decision
1. Achieve Lasting Weight Loss:
Bariatric surgery can help you lose 60% to 80% of your excess weight and maintain it. Unlike diets and exercise, which often result in “rebound” weight gain for over 90% of people, this surgery offers a long-term solution.
2. Regain Control of Your Appetite:
Enjoy reduced hunger and fewer food cravings, making it easier to stick to a healthier lifestyle.
3. Enhance Your Life and Longevity:
For those struggling with obesity, bariatric surgery dramatically reduces the risk of death from heart disease by 40%, diabetes by 92%, and cancer by 60%, contributing to a longer, healthier life.
4. A Safe and Proven Procedure:
With a risk of complications comparable to, or even lower than, gallbladder or hip surgery, bariatric surgery is a safe option. It’s been refined over 70 years and is one of the most well-studied treatments in modern medicine.
5. Quick Recovery, Minimal Discomfort:
Thanks to minimally invasive techniques, you can expect to go home within 24-48 hours, with incisions as small as 0.6 inches (1.5 cm). Our team will work with you to create a personalized recovery plan, ensuring a smooth transition back to daily life.
6. Transform Your Metabolism and Diabetes Control:
Bariatric surgery leads to complete remission of diabetes in 78% of patients, allowing many to stop their medications entirely. The remaining 22% experience better glucose control and reduced medication needs, with benefits often starting before you even leave the hospital.
7. Endorsed by Leading Medical Societies:
In 2016, 45 professional societies, including the American Diabetes Association (ADA), recommended considering metabolic surgery for patients with type 2 diabetes and a BMI of 30.0-34.9 if hyperglycemia isn’t controlled with medications.

Am I a Candidate for Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery is ideal for those who have struggled with obesity despite efforts in diet and exercise and are seeking a proven, long-term solution to improve their health and quality of life.
To find out if bariatric surgery is right for you, start by calculating your Body Mass Index (BMI) here.
You may be a candidate for bariatric surgery if:
a) BMI ≥ 35 kg/m²:
You’re eligible regardless of other health conditions.
b) BMI ≥ 30 kg/m² with Comorbidities:
If you have obesity-related health issues such as diabetes, you’re a strong candidate.
c) BMI 30-34.9 kg/m²:
Even without obesity-related diseases, you might still qualify after an evaluation by our team, especially if you’ve made previous weight loss efforts and are committed to a healthier lifestyle.
Note: Bariatric surgery should be performed by a certified surgeon. In Mexico, check certification here.
