Gastric sleeve surgery is an effective and popular Cancun weight loss surgery option that we perform at our hospitals located in Cancun, which can help patients achieve significant weight loss.
Gastric sleeve surgery reduces the size of the stomach to approximately 15% of its original size. The remaining stomach is shaped like a small banana know as a “sleeve”. This procedure works in several ways: reduced stomach size, hormonal changes, and restriction. By combining these effects, patients can lose a significant amount of weight.
A study in Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases reported that patients experienced significant improvements in their quality of life, including better physical function, self-esteem, and mental health after gastric sleeve surgery.

Many patients put off important surgical procedures due to the high cost of medical care. For Canadian patients, the long wait times for the Canadian healthcare system consequently create a roadblock for patients. For these reasons, medical tourism is an option for patients who want affordable and safe medical care.
The cost of sleeve surgery at using our services is minimal, especially when comparing to the cost at home for self-pay surgery, not to mention hefty insurance co-pays. Renew Bariatrics provides care without compromise by highly skilled doctors and healthcare professionals who care for the patient’s wellbeing.
During a sleeve gastrectomy procedure, the surgeon removes a large part of the stomach to create the small sleeve-shaped stomach. Since the body permanently removes the stomach, it is not possible to reverse the procedure. Since the gastric sleeve is not reversible, other options that exist are:
There are a few way to conduct the sleeve procedure, although our knowledgeable surgeons perform the procedure laparoscopically to achieve optimal recovery results. Other options types are:
At Renew Bariatrics, our complication rate is very low due to our expertise and high level of quality control. In general, the surgery complication rate is less than 1%, but there are risks associated with the sleeve gastrectomy procedure:
Gastric Sleeve Side Effects
Like any surgical procedure the surgery has potential for side effects, most of which are short-term or temporary during the first few days of recovery:
The pre-operative diet is critical in preparing for the surgery. The pre-op diet is designed to shrink the size of the liver and reduce the risk of surgical complications. The durations and items in your diet will be specified by your surgeon.
Here is an example of a pre-op diet, please follow your surgeons specific requirements as diets may vary:
In addition to following a pre-operative diet, it is important to eliminate:
It is also important to prepare for the surgery by getting proper rest, managing stress, and following any other pre-operative instructions you have been given.
Your patient coordinator will provide you with any specialized instructions from the doctor. General guidelines are as follows:
Following the post-op diet after gastric sleeve surgery is imperative for proper healing and setting yourself up for your weight-loss journey.
It is important you drink at least 64 oz of fluids a day, such as water, sugar-free drinks, and decaf tea. Hydration is a must after surgery.
Your surgeon will specify diet phases and durations of each phase. These phases gradually reintroduce different types of foods to the patient's diet. This allows the stomach to heal and helps the patient adapt to new dietary habits.
After the surgery, getting adequate protein will be key in recovery. This will allow muscle to be preserved during rapid weight-loss and ensure your diet is balanced. Protein is also more satiating and will enable you to feel full with less calories.
Avoid processed and high-fat foods such as chips, fast food, and candy. These foods tend to be high in calories and can contribute to regaining weight.
Both carbonated drinks and alcohol irritate the stomach lining. Alcohol is also an empty calorie. While not easy, it is suggested patients permanently eliminate these both long-term.
There are a few alternatives to gastric sleeve surgery. One option is to try pharmaceutical weight loss, such as Qsymia or Belviq. These pills help you lose weight by suppressing your appetite and increasing your metabolism.
You could also try dieting and exercise to lose weight. Other options include weight loss injections, personal coaching, and counseling.
Most of these alternatives, when stopped, cause weight regain, which is why bariatric surgery is typically a sustainable alternative after you have tried all other possible options to lose weight.
