Gastric Bypass Worldwide

The bariatric weight loss surgery known as Gastric Bypass, or Roux-n-Y, is considered the golden standard of weight loss bariatric procedures.  This bariatric procedure alters the size of the stomach to reduce a patient’s daily caloric intake, and therefore helping  them achieve weight loss.  Surgeons at Mexicali Bariatric Center are  experienced and  have performed  over 500 of these procedures to help patients achieve their weight loss goals. Surgeons at MBC perform gastric bypass surgery (RNY) laparoscopically, meaning that they reduces the invasiveness of the procedure by accessing the stomach through a series of smaller incisions, rather than one large incision. During this procedure, they  create a small pouch within the stomach to restrict the amount of food that can be consumed. Patients who undergo this procedure will notice that they feel full and satisfied much faster than before treatment, and they therefore consume fewer calories.  A 2nd component to the procedure is the bypassing of intestines where the RnY is created, reducing the absorption of calories by the body. This can result in significant weight loss over time. Bariatric Gastric bypass surgery is not intended for patients who wish to shed a few pounds, rather it is for individuals who suffer from obesity and the other negative health consequences that go along with it. During a comprehensive consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your condition and discuss whether you are a gastric bypass candidate.  Typically, individuals who have a BMI over 35 should consider surgical weight loss treatment. To find out your BMI, use the BMI calculator. Being severely overweight can have a negative impact on overall quality of life and result in a number of physical and mental health issues. When performed successfully, bariatric weight loss surgery can potentially cure obesity-related  co morbidities. 

The Lap Band System, also known as laparoscopic gastric banding, is an innovative surgical treatment developed to help you achieve significant reduction in excess body weight. Of all the surgical procedures for reducing the capacity of the stomach, laparoscopic banding is the least invasive. The Lap Band System is unique because the band’s diameter is adjustable to meet each patient's individual needs. Other procedures permanently alter the size of the stomach. The name "Lap Band" is an abbreviated and trademarked combination of the words representing the surgical technique and the product employed in this method (“Lap” from laparoscopic and "Band" from gastric band). Using Lap Band, Mexico / Mexicali  Dr. Alberto Aceves has helped more than 2500 patients achieve their weight loss goals. How does the Lap Band System work? The Lap Band System's silicone elastomer band is placed around the upper part of the stomach to create a new small stomach pouch which can hold only a small amount of food. The larger part of the stomach is below the band. The stoma (stomach outlet) controlled by the band between the two parts slows down the passage of food from the upper to the lower part of the stomach. This results in an earlier and longer-lasting feeling of satiety (fullness). To modify the size of the stoma, the inner surface of the band can be adjusted by adding or removing (inflating or deflating) saline, a salty solution similar to fluids found in the body. The band is connected by tubing to a reservoir which is placed well beneath the skin during surgery. After the operation, the surgeon can control the amount of saline in the band by piercing the reservoir with a fine needle through the skin. If the band is too loose and weight loss is insufficient, the stoma size can be reduced by adding more saline. If the band is too tight, the surgeon will remove some saline. This can be done in a clinic or radiology departmen

VSG /Sleeve gastrectomy, also known as vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is a  procedure that restricts food intake in order to facilitate weight loss. Surgeons at MBC  have bee performing this procedure of the last 8 years laparoscopically, and remove approximately 85 percent of the stomach, leaving behind a small tube or "sleeve." Because the size of the stomach is dramatically reduced during this procedure, MBC gastric sleeve surgery patients cannot consume the same amount of food that they could pre-operatively. Over time, the restriction of calories and food intake, results in significant weight loss.   In addition, the removal of a portion of the stomach actually eliminates some of the hormones which can stimulate hunger. However, unlike other stomach stapling procedure, all of the stomach’s functions are preserved. This means that there are far fewer restrictions on the foods that patients can consume after the procedure. The amount of food that patients can consume, however, is considerably limited. As with all surgical weight loss programs, it is imperative that gastric sleeve patients adhere to a strict postoperative diet. Once goal weight is achieved, usually 1–2 years after surgery, most patients can consume about 1000–1200 calories per day. The Gastric Sleeve surgery technique used at Mexicali Bariatric Center has proven to have   far superior weight loss results long term than other techniques , patients lose 96% f their excess body weight in under 1 year and 94% of patients are keeping it off long term. 

Gastric Sleeve has now become the most popular and effective performed weight loss procedure in Turkey because of the affordable prices. People generally lose 60 - 70% of their extra weight over a period of 12 to 18 months. SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY Gastric sleeve surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy) which is known as ‘’Tube Stomach Operation’’ or ‘’Vertical sleeve gastrectomy’’ is the newest type of bariatric surgery. This surgery can also be referred to medically as gastric sleeve resection, sleeve gastrectomy, weight loss surgery, tube gastrectomy, or laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. This surgery is performed under laparoscopic (keyhole) method and under general anesthesia. The surgery takes around 1,5 hours and approximately 75 - 80% of the stomach is removed. The remaining stomach looks like a tube, taking the name of this surgery ‘’Tube Stomach Operation’’.

Gastric bypass procedures (GBP) are any of a group of similar operations that first divides the   into a small upper pouch and a much larger lower "remnant" pouch and then re-arranges the   to connect to both. Surgeons have developed several different ways to reconnect the intestine, thus leading to several different GBP names. Any GBP leads to a marked reduction in the functional volume of the stomach, accompanied by an altered physiological and physical response to food.

A laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, commonly called a Lap-Band, A Band, or LAGB, is an inflatable  device placed around the top portion of the  to treat , intended to slow consumption of food and thus the amount of food consumed. Adjustable gastric band surgery is an example of  designed for obese patients with a  (BMI) of 40 or greater — or between 35 and 40 in cases of patients with certain  that are known to improve with , such as , , , , , or , among others.

Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical   procedure in which the   is reduced to about 25% of its original size, by surgical removal of a large portion of the stomach along the greater curvature. The result is a sleeve or tube like structure. The procedure permanently reduces the size of the stomach, although there could be some dilatation of the stomach later on in life. The procedure is generally performed   and is irreversible.

There are a lot of surgical procedures that are carried out on a daily basis. All of them are to correct some pathology that pharmacological medicine failed to cure.
