Your Options
6 Procedures. The Right Solution for Your Body.
Not all bodies are the same. That’s why we offer the most comprehensive range of bariatric procedures in the region.
Gastric Sleeve (VSG)
The stomach is reduced by up to 80%, creating a tube shape that naturally limits food intake. The most performed bariatric procedure worldwide — safe, effective, and with fast recovery.
Best for: BMI > 35, looking for an effective, proven solution with quick recovery.
Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)
A small stomach pouch is created and connected directly to the small intestine, reducing both food intake and calorie absorption. The gold standard for patients with Type 2 diabetes.
Best for: BMI > 40, Type 2 diabetes, or severe acid reflux.
SADI-S
Combines gastric sleeve with a single-connection duodeno-ileal bypass. Advanced technique with excellent metabolic results, especially for Type 2 diabetes. Few centers in Mexico offer this.
Best for: Very high BMI (>50), hard-to-control Type 2 diabetes, severe metabolic syndrome.
Transit Bipartition
Divides the intestinal transit into two pathways: one for normal digestion and another that reduces calorie absorption. Combined with sleeve to maximize weight loss and metabolic improvements.
Best for: Seeking maximum weight loss or insufficient results with gastric sleeve alone.
Revision Surgery
Had bariatric surgery before and regained the weight? You’re not alone. Revision surgery corrects or improves a previous procedure to give you a second chance at lasting results.
Best for: Previous bariatric surgery patients who didn’t achieve desired results.
Allurion Gastric Balloon
Swallow a capsule in 15 minutes — no endoscopy, no anesthesia, no sedation. Stays for 4 months and passes naturally. Only 2 X-rays needed to confirm placement.
Best for: BMI 27-35, wanting to lose weight without surgery or invasive procedures.
