Bariatric Surgery is recognized as the different procedures that help patients make changes to their digestive system, which helps them lose weight effectively.

All Bariatric Surgery procedures generate positive results in the patients who undergo them, as long as it is combined with radical and healthy changes in their diet, complemented by regular physical activity. In combination, this generates successful results in the short, medium and long term.

When can these procedures be applied?

- When there are signs of heart disease or cardiovascular accidents

- When the patient suffers from nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

- If the patient suffers from type 2 diabetes

- If the patient suffers from sleep apnea


In order to be subject to a Bariatric Surgery procedure, it is necessary that the patient must meet certain requirements that must be proven through prior studies and analysis. The patient must also be fully aware of having a healthy diet and exercise routines after the procedure.

Gastric Sleeve

It is a surgery where 80% of the stomach can be removed, in order to leave a long tubular stomach. It is also known as vertical gastrectomy or simply sleeve. It is carried out to treat obesity, reducing the volume of the stomach and therefore its capacity.

To perform this procedure, general anesthesia must be applied and it must be performed by a specialist in Bariatric Surgery.

  • Why is the Gastric Sleeve performed?

    The Gastric Sleeve is the first option for obese patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 50 who have not managed to lose the necessary weight through other methods such as a healthy diet and exercise.

  • What does it consist of?

    This surgical procedure is usually done by laparoscopy in an intervention that lasts between 60 and 90 minutes.

  • Preparation for Gastric Sleeve

    Before undergoing gastric sleeve surgery, the patient will need to undergo various tests and examinations, such as a complete physical examination, blood tests, and an ultrasound of the gallbladder to confirm that they are healthy enough to undergo the surgery.

  • Care after the intervention

    Normally, the patient can return home two days after surgery, and must take painkillers previously prescribed by their specialist. The patient will be put on a diet and little by little solid foods will be introduced into the diet. In addition, it should be monitored by a nutritionist to avoid stretching the remaining stomach and obtain the best results.

The surgeon places a small pouch from the stomach, which connects directly to the small intestine. This means that when the patient eats food, it enters this small pouch and from there goes directly to the small intestine, bypassing most of the stomach and the first section of the small intestine.
