Gastric Sleeve
Do you want to lose weight but no amount of dieting and exercise has helped you reach your goals?
People like you are turning to bariatric surgery in Puerto Vallarta, Jal., to help them make a dramatic change and lead a healthier life.
Bariatrics Health Mexico performs safe and effective gastric sleeve surgery using the advanced da Vinci® XI Surgical System.
We Make Bariatric Surgery Affordable
Weight loss surgery options like gastric sleeve and gastric bypass can be prohibitively expensive in the United States and Canada, so many people turn to Mexico for their procedures. This type of medical tourism allows patients to receive the care they need without breaking the bank. Our bariatric doctors are proud to serve people from all over the world and they look forward to serving you.
What Is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Like gastric bypass, gastric sleeve surgery is a bariatric procedure that modifies the stomach to help obese patients lose weight. During the surgery, about 80% of the stomach is removed, giving it the appearance of a sleeve.
Because your stomach is much smaller afterward, gastric sleeve surgery restricts the amount of food you can consume and helps you feel fuller after eating far less food than usual. It also lowers the amount of ghrelin you produce, which can reduce your desire to eat.
Gastric sleeve surgery can help patients lose up to 80% of their excess body weight in 6-12 months, but your results will depend heavily on the lifestyle changes you make after your surgery.

"My husband had gastric sleeve surgery September 2022, our experience was above and beyond what we both had imagined. The staff was very professional and kind, hospital was clean and his room was spacious. I even had a place to stay with him. The transfers to and from were on time, and the hotel was as clean, beautiful, and had good food!"

The Difference Laparoscopic Surgery Can Make Using the Latest Techniques for Improved Outcomes
Our surgeons use single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for procedures like gastric sleeve to improve healing and recovery times, reduce the risk of infection, and lower postoperative pain and discomfort. With SILS the entire sleeve gastrectomy can be performed through one incision in the belly button, so patients also don't have to worry about covering up scars on their abdomen after surgery. They can go shirtless, wear crop tops, or try out bathing suits with confidence.
Achieving Healthy Weight Loss
and Maintaining Your Results
After your sleeve gastrectomy, there are some steps you can take to aid in your weight loss and contribute to long-term success. These include:
Follow Postoperative Care Instructions
You will be provided with postoperative instructions that you should follow to ensure a safe recovery and the best results. These instructions will include following a liquid diet and resting for several days.
Eat a Healthy Diet
Our packages include a consultation with our highly trained nutritionist, Dr. Yedid Ocaranza. Once you're eating regular foods again, a healthy diet will help ensure you are getting the vitamins and nutrients you need to maintain a healthy body and contribute to sustainable weight loss. You will also be required to take protein, vitamin, and mineral supplements for a set period of time.
Exercise Regularly
Once you're cleared by your doctor, simple exercises like walking will help improve your stamina and prevent serious complications like blood clots. Slowly increasing the intensity of your workouts will help you lose weight faster and keep it off.
