About Monterrey Gastro & Bariatric Group
The Monterrey Gastro and Bariatric Group specializes in a comprehensive Bariatric Surgery Program designed to ensure the success of your procedure for life.
We proudly help patients from all over the US and Canada. Our top two weight loss surgeries are the Gastric Sleeve (reinforced) and Mini Gastric Bypass. Our all-inclusive surgery packages include everything that you need from the moment you arrive in Monterrey.
Our surgeries are performed at a certified Hospital part of the American Christus Health Group, and we use and offer top quality facilities and premium healthcare
Procedures:
The Mini Gastric Bypass is a less invasive procedure and requires less time for surgery and recovery, with the same benefits than the regular bypass. The technique for this surgery creates a narrow gastric tube that is attached to the small intestine approximately five feet (200cm) from its starting point, a placement that bypasses the highly absorptive section of the intestine without the necessity of a second intestinal reconnection.
The Gastric Sleeve. This procedure achieves weight loss results by restricting the amount of food that your body is physically able to take in. It involves removing a large portion of the stomach, anywhere from 60% to 85% of the total stomach. The portion left behind is a "sleeve" that will serve as your new stomach. No rerouting of the intestines is needed and there are no malabsorption secondary effects.
The Gastric Bypass is a weight loss surgery that involves both restrictive and malabsorptive technique to achieve weight loss. Involves separating the stomach into a smaller, upper pouch and a larger, lower section, while the small intestine is divided and rerouted.
The Gastric Balloon. A soft and flexible silicone sphere is inserted in the stomach of the patient, by endoscopy, in order to achieve weight reduction. Its main mechanism is to generate a feeling of fullness or early satiety so the person lowers the consumption of food, which in turn simplifies the process of weight loss. In some cases it can be the first step to a weight loss surgery.
Obesity is a complex disease that requires a multidisciplinary team that provides prevention, education, treatment and follow-up.
We know that each patient is unique and treatment options should be decided according to the specific needs of the patient. Monterrey Gastro and Bariatric Group specializes in providing a proven and comprehensive Bariatric program, that includes a personalized nutritional plan and exercise routines.
This approach and constant monitoring enables us to provide quality care during post op for every patient, which is mirrored in the excellent results achieved by our patients.
Care for patients who are overweight or suffer from obesity requires special training, which our team is committed and dedicated to offering with the most advanced and up-to-date professional care.
Our team members have been selected through a process of quality control and have special attention and sensitivity to patients with overweight and obesity.
