Bariatric surgery is recognized as an important and effective option for the treatment of severe obesity and the different associated conditions and diseases. Furthermore, it is currently considered a treatment option in the management of patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) despite optimal medical treatment with oral or injectable medications (including insulin).

​

These procedures help obese people lose weight. It is an excellent option if you cannot lose weight through diet and exercise or have serious health problems caused by obesity, and offers the only modality that provides long-term weight loss and weight loss maintenance.

​​

The most common bariatric surgery procedures are:

​​

• Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (gastric sleeve)

• Mini-Gastric Bypass

• Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass

• Biliopancreatic diversion

• SADI-S

The favorable results obtained with bariatric surgery in the control of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) in morbidly obese individuals and the existence of metabolic control mechanisms independent of weight reduction, have led to the usefulness of various surgical procedures in patients with mild to moderate obesity and even overweight, with the intention of achieving better control of diabetes.

 

Metabolic surgery is defined as those surgical procedures in individuals with a body mass index < 35 kg/m2 with the intention of producing an improvement in the control of diabetes.

​

Recognizing that surgery produces remission of diabetes and that the latter is a continuum, the challenge for the treating team of the patient with DM2 consists in selecting the best medical and/or surgical tool that produces the desired metabolic benefit at a given moment of the disease. evolution of the patient's disease and with a favorable risk-benefit ratio.

General surgery is on the "cutting edge" as it continues to reinvent itself to the benefit of the surgical patient. Due to today's high-tech instrumentation and advanced technology, procedures such as major abdominal surgery are now replaced with minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques that often reduce pain, accelerate recuperation, and reduce cost without sacrificing good outcomes.

​

Do you want to adopt a healthy diet but don't know where to start?

​

Talking about "diet" refers to the correct way to eat. Our diet must meet certain essential characteristics to function properly: adequate, balanced, complete, enough, harmless and varied.​

 

A healthy diet associated with frequent exercise can prevent and treat many age-related diseases. Eating an inadequate diet and doing little exercise are risk factors for many chronic diseases that can put your life at risk, such as being overweight and obese, cardiovascular disorders, diabetes mellitus and some types of cancer. In addition, diet participates in the development of most of the main causes of death.

Lose weight with an eating plan made only for you!

​

When it comes to losing weight, there is no shortage of fad diets that promise quick results. Such diets limit your nutritional intake, can be unhealthy, and tend to fail in the long run.

​

Weight loss through diet causes biological responses that persist long-term and contribute to weight regain. These diet-induced changes promote positive energy balance and weight regain, and since the conditions responsible for reduced energy expenditure and increased desire to eat persist in the long term, an individual will not only regain all their lost weight , if not more.

​

Losing weight with an improper diet reduces the use of fat for fuel and increases the storage capacity of fat that is not used. These changes lead to a progressive increase in fat accumulation, even if the individual is not overeating.
