Gastric Sleeve Surgery

One of the procedures Dr. Armenta is skilled with at performing Tijuana gastric sleeve surgery. This procedure involves removing a portion of the stomach, meaning the patient won’t need to eat as much to feel satisfied. By restricting calories in this way, the patient can lose a substantial amount of weight without feeling hungry and deprived.

Gastric Bypass Surgery

Dr. Armenta can perform the mini gastric bypass surgery in Tijuana as well as the traditional, roux-en-y gastric bypass. Both are highly studied bariatric surgeries that provide patients higher expected weight loss than the gastric sleeve procedure.

* Note: There are multiple variations of Gastric Bypass surgery. The specific variation chosen for each patient is determined by the surgeon after taking into account the patient’s unique anatomy, medical history, risk factors, and other pertinent details. Additionally, the surgeon’s expertise and preferred techniques are also factored into this decision. These variations of Gastric Bypass include but are not limited to:

  • Roux en-Y proximal
  • Roux en-Y distal
  • Single Anastomosis Gastric Bypass
  • Mini-Gastric Bypass
  • Omega Loop
  • Other specialized techniques or variations
It’s important to note that the exact variation used may only be determined after an in-depth laparoscopic examination during the surgery itself. This ensures that the most suitable method is selected for optimal patient outcomes. Requesting a form of the Gastric Bypass is acceptable but please know it is not guaranteed.

Dr. Rene Armenta Reviews

5/5

Everything went just as planned. I was picked up at the airport on time (the drivers were great.) My surgery and time at the hospital was a positive experience. I felt safe and cared for. Dr. Armenta and the hospital staff were amazing. The hotel they set me up in was nice and conveniently located. The Renew staff was in contact with me several times pre and post-op. The coordinators and nutritionist have been very informative and helpful. No complaints.
