Gastric Sleeve Surgery

With the Gastric Sleeve we help you reach your ideal weight in a fast and controlled way.

Excess weight can interfere with every aspect of your daily life and increase your risk of serious health conditions.

Gastric sleeve is a restrictive surgery that limits how much you can eat. During the procedure at our Tijuana practice, Dr. Moreno will access your stomach using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques. This procedure involves removing the 80% of your stomach, creating a new one with a tubular shape and with a capacity of 6 oz. When your stomach is smaller, you will feel full after eating less food, and your body will absorb fewer calories. The weight loss will be carried out by two procedures, restrictive due to the reduction in the size of the stomach and malabsorptive, due to the new circuit of absorbing less fat and sugar.

It is the most performed bariatric procedure in the world, very safe and with excellent long-term results. The difference that exists with the gastric bypass is that in gastric sleeve only a portion of the stomach is removed, without making connections (anastomosis) with the intestine.

The Benefits of Gastric Sleeve Surgery also known as Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery

Decreased Appetite

During gastric sleeve surgery, Dr. Andres Moreno will reduce your stomach by about 80 percent to the size and shape of a banana. This allows you to feel full by eating less than you normally would after surgery.

Reduced Health Issues

Studies show that bariatric surgery can alleviate and even reverse diabetes and other conditions associated with excessive weight.

A safe option

This technique carries a lower chance of complications than other weight loss treatments.*

The gastric sleeve procedure is a safe and effective weight loss surgery. In fact, a five-year study conducted by the World Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery found that 98 percent of gastric sleeve recipients showed effective results and zero complications.
