What’s Involved With Gastric Bypass Surgery?​

Gastric Bypass in Tijuana, Mexico

Gastric bypass surgery allows food to bypass a section of the small intestine, triggering a faster sense of fullness, reduced food intake, and lower calorie consumption – a crucial aspect of weight-loss surgery that can lead to weight reduction.

The most common type of surgery is Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. This procedure involves creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach using surgical staples or a plastic band. This stomach pouch is then linked to the small intestine bypass, enabling a low amount of food to bypass the rest of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine. This can lead to significant changes for patients who have type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, and high blood pressure due to weight loss.

Another type of gastric bypass surgery is what is called an open procedure – in which the surgery is conducted via a large incision in the abdomen. 

Laparoscopic surgery is a gastric bypass procedure in which a small incision is made using tiny instruments and a camera to seal part of the stomach. This approach could reduce hospital stays.

“I had a wonderful experience with Renew Bariatrics. Everything was neatly organized and the entire process ran smoothly. The only hiccup had to do with our pickup to head back to the US, due to delays we left at 2:30 rather than noon. We knew something like that could happen though, so planned ahead and there were no real issues. I would absolutely recommend this group to friends and family, it’s very much worth it!”

Alternative Options of the Gastric Sleeve Surgery?​

The most common procedure alternative to open surgery is vertical sleeve gastrectomy or gastric sleeve surgery, which involves no changes to the digestive system or alterations of the part of the small intestine–providing similar weight loss expectations.

Renew Bariatrics recommends Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Tijuana, Mexico, for those looking for high-expected weight loss with minimal risks and side effects. Renew Bariatrics also recommends the Mini Gastric Bypass Procedure in Mexico, endorsed by the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery.

Alternate options for surgery include adjustable gastric banding, a type of bariatric surgery procedure where an inflatable band divides the stomach into two pouches using a laparoscope.

Vertical banded gastropexy is a type of surgery that divides the stomach into two sections, limiting space so that the individual will eat less following a strict, clear liquid diet and exercise regimen. This process uses a surgical stapler, but it is rare because it lacks long-term results.

Gastric Balloon in Tijuana

bariatric surgery and pregnancy

Pregnancy After Gastric Bypass Surgery
