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?
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.
Dr. Garcia has over a decade of expertise in the field of bariatric surgery and is strongly committed to patient safety, health, and longevity. He has completed over 10,000 successful weight loss procedures and is passionate about restoring peace of mind and quality of life to thousands of medical tourists each year.
Dr. Garcia believes that no one should have to experience the discomfort, disease, and low self-esteem that comes with excess weight. Dr. Garcia has himself undergone a weight loss journey and he knows firsthand how challenging the process can be. However, as a skilled, result-oriented surgeon, Dr. Garcia considers each procedure a partnership, wherein the patient must commit to ongoing lifestyle changes in order to support long-term success with weight loss. He has therefore created a comprehensive strategy to address the emotional, dietary, and exercise-related components of the weight loss journey.
Dr. Fernando García obtained his Licensed Physician Degree at the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo before completing a demanding residency in General Surgery at Hospital General (General Hospital), endorsed by Universidad Autónoma de Baja California (UABC). He is currently a professor of Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery at Universidad Autonoma de Baja California and has been on staff for over a decade at Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social.
By undergoing your weight loss surgery through Tijuana Bariatric Center, you will receive unparalleled care in our highly rated and accredited hospitals
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.
The price that medical tourism patients pay for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy in Mexico is thousands of dollars less than in the United States.
