Weight-Loss Surgeries in Cancun

Gastric Sleeve Surgery - Growing in popularity, Gastric Sleeve is a permanent, restrictive weight-loss surgery procedure. Gastric Sleeve is a new weight-loss surgery, but is promising. With comparable weight-loss to Gastric Bypass Surgery, and low complication and risk rates, gastric sleeve surgery is constantly being chosen verse other surgery types. Gastric sleeve works by cutting a stomach into a sleeve shape, reducing the size by 85%, to limit the capacity of the stomach.
Take Aways:

• Permanent
• New Procedure (Lacks long-term data)
• No Intestinal Changes (No Malabsorptive Issues)
• Wide-Range of Food Options

Gastric Bypass Surgery - The standard in bariatrics, the one in which all other bariatric surgeries are judged. Gastric Bypass Surgery is an old, and respected weight-loss surgery. Typically reserved for patients with dangerously-high BMIs (body mass index), gastric bypass provides the highest expected weight-loss of all the bariatric surgeries. Gastric Bypass uses both, restrictive and malabsorptive techniques to achieve weight-loss. By creating a small pouch for the new stomach, and bypassing part of the intestines, gastric bypass helps users quickly lose weight.
Take Aways:

• Permanent
• "Gold Standard" (Lots of long-term data)
• Higher Complication, Risks and Side Effects
• Small-Range of Food Options
• Highest Expected Weight Loss

Gastric Banding Surgery - Reserved for patients on the lower-end of the BMI scale, Gastric Banding is the least invasive, restrictive bariatric surgery. By implanting a banding system, Lap-Band system or REALIZE Band, around the upper portion of a stomach, patients will feel fuller faster allowing them to lose weight. Gastric Banding or adjustable gastric banding, can be adjusted by a bariatric surgeon to allow patients the flexibility and to efficiently lose weight.
Take Aways:

• Reversible
• Lots of long-term data
• Low Complications and Risks
• Least Invasive
• Adjustable

Patients sometimes want to revise and go with another bariatric surgery. Revision surgery helps to correct a surgery gone wrong, or helps to convert gastric bypass to gastric sleeve, or gastric banding to gastric sleeve. More patients are opting to undergo Gastric Sleeve, after they've undergone with Gastric Banding Surgery. Patients who've undergone bariatric surgery before, only to be disappointed about the weight-loss do have options.
