Metabolic Surgery

---

he Medici Metabolic Surgery Program in Tijuana Mexico provides patients an individualized plan to treat diabetes and other metabolic conditions using techniques, such as gastric bypass, adjustable gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy and gastric sleeve plication. Recent medical research has shown that the gastrointestinal tract and specifically the small bowel play a critical role in regulating blood sugar levels and fat metabolism. Therefore, changes in gastrointestinal anatomy can influence diabetes and other metabolic disorders. By tailoring the choice of procedures to the metabolic characteristics of individual patients, surgery can result in much more than just weight loss. It can improve life expectancy and enhance quality of life.

Is Bariatric Surgery (Weight Loss Surgery) a Drastic Way to Loose Weight?

The decision to have a weight loss surgery should be made carefully. It should be made only with a full understanding of the risks and benefits of the procedure, the knowledge and willingness to accept the lifestyle changes imposed by the procedure and committing to life-long follow-up diet. ?Obesity and obesity-related illnesses such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, stroke, cardiovascular disease, and several forms of cancer are increasing at alarming rates in many countries around the globe. Following weight loss surgery, patients experience improvement in obesity-related illnesses, and the risk of early death is diminished. For seriously obese patients who have been unsuccessful in non-surgical weight loss methods such as diets, medications, behavior modification, or exercise programs, weight loss surgery may be a life-saving intervention. That is, for many patients, the risks of remaining obese are more significant than the risks of problems from weight loss surgery.

Patients whose BMI is 35-40, or exceeding 40 are candidates for surgery. These patients have induced physical issues-musculoskeletal or neurological or serious body size problems precluding or interfering with daily lifestyle, family function, employment and/or ambulation. Your physicians at the Medici Clinic in Tijuana, Mexico will assist you with your Bariatric Surgery decisions.
