Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Mexico
Gastric Sleeve in Mexico is one of the most straightforward weight-loss surgeries that simply removes two-thirds of the stomach. This is the most popular weight-loss surgery in Mexico and is known as the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG). Sleeve and Mini Sleeve effectively help obese and overweight patients slim down by reducing hunger and making smaller food portions feel satisfying. A recent study reported a 82% excess weight loss in patients in the first year after surgery.
- Short recovery time – back at work within 1-2 weeks
- Stomach capacity is permanently reduced
- Decrease Ghrelin hunger hormones and increase the feeling of satiety
- Easily revisable if you do not get the results you desire
*The cost may vary depending on the surgeon performing the procedure.

Gastric Bypass Surgery in Mexico
Gastric Bypass Surgery, or Roux-en-Y (RNY), reduces the stomach size significantly into a pouch about the size of an egg. Additionally, the new stomach pouch bypasses a section of the small intestine, reducing calories from being absorbed into the body. The RNY gastric bypass has a high success rate and significantly improves and even cures obesity-related health problems. It is a permanent tool that is the #2 choice for bariatric surgeries in Mexico and the United States. Gastric bypass is great for patients with acid reflux and is especially useful for individuals with a 35+ BMI.
- Average of 73% excess weight loss within the first year
- Likely to improve diabetes, high blood pressure, & sleep apnea
- Slightly higher weight loss than the gastric sleeve
- Creates nutrient deficiencies requiring vitamins
* The cost may vary depending on the surgeon performing the procedure.

Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery
Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery creates a new, small stomach pouch shaped like a tube. It also bypasses about 20% of the small intestine, creating less caloric intake. The mini bypass differs from the standard gastric bypass because it only has one anastomosis (connection) instead of two. It connects the stomach directly to a lower partial portion (farther away portion) of the intestine.
- Average 74% excess weight loss within the first year
- Less invasive than gastric bypass surgery
- Single anastomosis – only one connection to the small intestines
*The cost may vary depending on the surgeon performing the procedure.

Duodenal Switch Surgery in Mexico
Ileal (hypoabsorptive) bariatric surgeries, such as Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS), SADI-S, SASI-S, and MagDI, are a combination of restrictive and malabsorptive procedures that provide among the highest expected weight losses and effectively manage metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, compared to other gastric surgeries.
This two-part procedure first reduces the stomach’s capacity by about 60% by creating a sleeve, similar to a gastric sleeve surgery. Next, a large portion of the small intestine (ileum) is bypassed and rerouted to connect to this new, smaller stomach pouch.
- Morbidly obese individuals (BMI of 40+), unless it’s performed to revise previous surgery.
- An average of 80% excess weight loss in one year.
- Highest success in improving or curing health problems like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension.
- A vitamin regimen is necessary for life due to nutrient deficiencies.
* The cost may vary depending on the surgeon performing the procedure.

Gastric Balloon in Mexico
Gastric Balloon is a restrictive, non-surgical procedure that involves feeding a deflated balloon from the mouth to the stomach and filling it with saline or gas. It’s designed to lose up to 20-40 pounds within a 6 to 12-month timeframe before it’s removed.
The balloon makes it uncomfortable to overeat and takes up space in the stomach, so you feel more full. It offers a short-term approach to getting on track with a healthier diet and exercise habits. Some patients opt for gastric sleeve surgery when the balloon is removed due to insufficient weight loss.
- Mexico Bariatric Center offers the Orbera Balloon and Spatz Balloon.
- The balloon is inserted orally into your stomach, and patients can typically return home the following day (if not the same day).
* The cost may vary depending on the surgeon performing the procedure.

Revisional Bariatric Surgery in Mexico
Bariatric Surgery Revision involves reviving a previous surgery with more intricate surgical techniques to yield effective results with high success rates. Mexico Bariatric Center® is known to have the best surgeons specialized in revising failed, outdated, and even the most difficult bariatric procedures.
- Converting Gastric Sleeve to RNY Bypass, Mini Bypass, Duodenal Switch, or Re-Sleeve.
- Revising RNY Gastric Bypass procedures by lengthening the Roux limb (distal bypass), adding a lap band, reducing the stomach pouch size, or Transoral Outlet Reduction (TORe).
- Revising Lap-Band (gastric banding) to VSG or RNY.
* The cost may vary depending on the surgeon performing the procedure.
