We can help you get your life back
There’s so much more to losing weight than just a number going down on the scale.
Obesity is a complex medical condition that requires a multifaceted approach for successful treatment, and our Center is dedicated to providing comprehensive care tailored to each one of our patient’s needs.
We can find the treatment plan that’s best for you. We offer both surgical and non-surgical solutions to help individuals achieve their weight loss goals and improve their overall health and well-being.
Led by a team of experienced bariatric surgeons, internists and psychologists, our Center offers a wide range of treatment options, including:
Obesity and Metabolic Surgery
For individuals with significant obesity and its related illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, Bariatric Surgery has proven to be the most effective treatment to control both obesity and its complications.
At our Bariatric Surgery Center we offer a variety of surgical procedures, such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, mini-gastric bypass and revisional surgery. Despite being very different procedures, they all share two very important mechanisms that help patients achieve their weight-loss goals:
- A decrease in the size of the stomach, creating a significant reduction in the amount of calories that can be ingested, with or without altering the absorption of these calories.
- A metabolic shift in the hormonal response to food, which eventually leads to a better and faster weight loss, favorably affecting all obesity-related complications.
With twenty years of experience and thousands of successful procedures performed, our Bariatric Team is the most experienced Bariatric group in Cabo. We perform all of our surgeries using advanced minimally invasive techniques, with our patient’s safety being our top priority. This approach allows for a faster recovery, with less pain and discomfort, and with a better cosmetic result than with traditional open surgery.
Endoscopic Bariatric Procedures
For patients that are not candidates for surgery, or patients who still are not ready for surgery, an intragastric balloon may be their best option. Through a routine endoscopic procedure, a balloon is placed inside the stomach and filled with a dyed fluid. The balloon takes up a significant amount of space inside the stomach, which will reduce the amount of food that can be ingested, making you feel full faster and despite eating smaller portions. Also, because the balloon remains inflated throughout the day, hunger is better controlled despite eating smaller portions.
These procedures are less invasive than traditional surgery, and in combination with our Balloon Weight-Loss Program, patients can achieve significant weight loss without the need for surgery. The newer and most effective balloons can last up to a year, helping the patients to lose a greater amount of weight, but also to adapt to the lifestyle changes that will help them keep the weight off after the balloon is removed.
Non-Surgical Weight-Loss Program
For those who may not qualify for or prefer not to undergo surgery, we have developed a successful, medically-supervised weight-loss programs. Our program comprises three distinct phases:
- Phase one: Metabolic Reset. This phase triest to stop the weight-gain and to shift the body’s energy source to improve its metabolism.
- Phase two: Energy Shift. This phase targets excess body fat exclusively, achieving significant and constant fat-loss while maintaining muscle mass.
- Phase three: Metabolic maintenance. After losing the excess weight, this phase is designed to identify the best diet in order to keep the weight off, and at the same time, enjoy the foods and beverages that you enjoy the most.
Our program incorporates nutritional counseling, targeted exercise plans, behavior modification techniques, and, if needed, medically-supervised pharmaceutical adjuvants to help individuals achieve their weight-loss goals in a safe and sustainable manner.
Post-Operative Bariatric Surgery Follow-Up
Bariatric Surgery is currently the best treatment for patients with morbid obesity and obesity-related illnesses. Tens of thousands of Bariatric Procedures are performed in North America alone each year.
