Gastric Bypass

Have a strict diet and exercise regimen left you with imperceptible changes in your weight?

Bariatric surgery with double board-certified Dr. Ismael Cabrera may be what you need to successfully turn your life around.

See why so many turn to Stop Obesity Bariatric Surgery in Tijuana, B.C., for safe and affordable gastric bypass surgery.

How Gastric Bypass Surgery Works

Gastric bypass, also called Roux-en-Y, is a type of weight loss surgery that changes how your stomach and small intestine handle food. During the procedure, the stomach is divided into a small upper pouch and a larger lower pouch. The small intestine is then rerouted to connect to the small stomach pouch.

The food you eat will enter into the small pouch, reducing the amount of food you can consume. You'll feel full faster and eat less food as a result. The food then enters into your small intestine which has been rerouted so food can bypass a portion. Because of this, your body absorbs fewer calories.

Anesthesia

Dr. Cabrera and his team will first make sure you're comfortable with anesthesia. You will be put to sleep for your bariatric procedure.

Incisions

Gastric bypass is performed laparoscopically, meaning it can be performed through a few small incisions as opposed to large ones. This surgery is typically performed with five incisions, but Dr. Cabrera will try to do it in three.

Laparoscope

Your bariatric surgeon will place a laparoscope and surgical instruments through the incisions.

Gastric Bypass

Your bariatric surgeon will create stomach pouches using staples and reroute your small intestine.

Sutures

Dr. Cabrera will remove the laparoscope and surgical instruments. He will place sutures.

Recovery

You will recover in the hospital for two nights so our team can ensure you're healing properly. You will then retire to your hotel room until you can return home.

Gastric Bypass Vs. Gastric Sleeve Understanding Your Options

Gastric bypass surgery is a restrictive and malabsorptive procedure, making it an effective option for patients who are morbidly obese. While gastric sleeve may be a good option for patients with a BMI of 35 (or 30 with a weight-related medical condition), gastric bypass surgery may be recommended for patients with a BMI of over 45.

During your consultation, our team will discuss your options and determine which weight loss surgery will be best for your goals. With the proper bariatric surgery, you can expect healthy, consistent weight loss, fewer weight-related medical conditions like sleep apnea, and an all-around improved quality of life. It starts with a message or phone call.

Exceptional experience at this surgical hospital. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the professionalism and warmth of the staff. The surgical team was highly skilled, and they took the time to address all my concerns. The facility itself is modern, clean, and well-organized. My procedure went smoothly, and the post-op care was excellent. I feel grateful to have chosen this hospital for my surgery, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others seeking high-quality medical care.
