Undergo A Life-Changing Transformation With Gastric Sleeve Weight Loss Surgery In Tijuana, Mexico

Excess body weight can make life more difficult and increase your risk of serious health conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and high blood pressure. If you cannot lose weight with diet and exercise alone, gastric sleeve surgery in beautiful Tijuana may help you achieve the desired results. The price of sleeve gastrectomy in Mexico is affordable, so why not begin your weight loss journey here?

Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Tijuana, Mexico is Simple and Effective

Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) is a lower-risk bariatric procedure than gastric bypass. It only alters the stomach and doesn't reroute the small intestines. Patients experience a substantially lower risk of potential complications than other weight loss surgeries like gastric bypass or duodenal switch. Yet, most patients achieve their weight loss goals.

The amount of weight loss varies. However, you can typically expect to lose about 60% to 70% percent of your excess weight when you undergo gastric sleeve surgery. Reducing your BMI can help you achieve an improved quality of life. You'll have more self-confidence when you can once again participate in sports, walk energetically, and enjoy time with your family.

Benefits of Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Enhanced quality of life
Improved stamina and energy
Increased self-confidence
Decreased joint pain
A boost in cardiovascular health
An end to obstructive sleep apnea
Rapid weight loss – In as little as four to six months, patients often shed as much as half their weight.
Reduced appetite – The combination of a smaller stomach and the absence of the ghrelin hormone leaves patients satisfied with smaller portions of food.
Lowered risk – Because gastric sleeve surgery only restricts the size of your stomach, chances of complications, such as infection or compromised digestive ability, are substantially reduced.

What Can Gastric Sleeve Surgery Accomplish?

Following vertical sleeve gastrectomy, the smaller size of your stomach will make you feel fuller more quickly. The procedure serves another purpose as well: It removes part of the stomach that produces the hunger hormone Ghrelin so that you will feel less hungry in general and you will be able to keep the weight off going forward. The remainder of calories needed come from fat stored in the body, resulting in weight loss.
