Bariatric or metabolic surgery is sometimes used as a treatment for people who are obese. It can lead to significant weight loss and help improve many obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. If you want help in your weight management journey, a team of doctors will meet with you to develop a healthcare plan that best fit your needs.

If a gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy surgery are your chosen treatments, contact us to get recommendations and a treatment plan. With most weight loss treatments in Cali, you can save up to 70% of the USA and Europe.

To qualify for these types of treatments you have to:

• Have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or more, or a BMI between 35 and 40 and an obesity-related condition that might improve if you lost weight (such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure)
• You’ve tried other weight loss methods, such as dieting and exercise, but have struggled to lose weight or keep it off
• You agree to long-term follow-up after surgery – such as making healthy lifestyle changes and attending regular check-ups with your doctors

As mentioned, the most common treatments we offer are:

• Gastric band – a band is placed around your stomach, so you do not need to eat as much to feel full
• Gastric bypass – the top part of your stomach is joined to the small intestine, so you feel fuller sooner and do not absorb as many calories from food
• Sleeve gastrectomy – some of your stomach is removed, so you cannot eat as much as you could before, and you’ll feel full sooner.

Lastly, our doctors are also equipped to treat obesity in adolescents and do a follow up pharmacological management.
