Tratamiento para la Obesidad

Bariatric surgery produces weight loss by restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold, causing malabsorption of nutrients or a combination of gastric restriction and malabsorption. These procedures also often cause hormonal changes.

Most weight loss surgeries today are performed using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopic surgery).

​

The decision to have a patient offered surgical treatment for obesity is not made solely on the basis of their excess weight. In your assessment, data such as your weight, height, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities (other diseases), among others, must be collected, which are necessary to determine if you meet the selection criteria for bariatric surgery. If so, your consultation will provide you with all the information you need about the procedure.
