Procedures
We provide full service weight loss surgery solutions offering several options.
Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG): Also known as “the sleeve”. This surgery once used as a first stage surgery in patients with a very high BMI, has now become a stand alone surgery for patients wanting a procedure less invasive than the gastric bypass, yet they don’t want to or cannot commit to fills and frequent follow up care that the Lap Band requires.
The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: This surgery is a combination of a restrictive procedure (similar to the VSG) and a malabsorption surgery. The patient will be restricted to eating a small amount of food and will not absorb all the calories consumed. This surgery is known as the “Gold Standard” bariatric surgery in the Untied States.
Mini-Gastric Bypass: This surgery is a modified version of the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. The stomach is fashioned into a long, narrow tube. The new small stomach is attached to the small intestine about 6 feet down. The larger stomach is sealed and left unattached. The Mini Bypass is done laporoscopically through five 1 inch incisions. The mini gastric bypass typically takes 30 – 40 minutes to complete.
Plastic Surgery: We offer Plastic Surgeons that specialize in plastic surgery after massive weight loss. See the procedures offered and read our surgeon’s credentials.

What to Expect After Your Surgery
Here is a general overview of what to expect in the weeks following a weight loss surgery.

Once you have moved on to solid foods, you should not consume liquid calories or soft calorie dense foods. The Lap Band will only restrict solid foods and not liquid calories. You will need to avoid sweets and junk food and should incorporate exercise in to your daily activities. You will need to refrain from drinking liquids ½ hour before and 1 hour after meals. Non calorie liquids should be consumed between meals.

Do I Qualify?

Generally in the United States, surgical candidates possessing a BMI of 40 and above or 35 with 2 co-morbidities such as diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnea. Most other countries already have clinical results for patients with BMI’s between 30 – 35. All patients that stand to benefit should be considered for surgical treatment.

Testimonials
I just wanted to thank you for the extra care taken and concern showed during my stay at the Emmanuel Medical Center to get my Lap Band procedure on June 8, 2009. My every need was satisfied and the level of service was OUTSTANDING!! read more...
-D. R.
I had surgery 5 months ago and am happy to report I’m doing very well. I was very nervous about going to Mexico alone for surgery, but the whole staff made it so much easier for me. I was so happy that I had someone to pick me up at the airport, drive me around, and make sure I had everything I needed. I have lost 52 lbs. since surgery and I just want to say thank you to everyone!
-Barbara
Thank you for making it possible for me to afford to have Lap Band surgery! Without any insurance, I would never have been able to afford to have it done in the U.S. I'm so happy there are great surgeons and people in other countries like you so I can get healthy and live a better life. The care I received was outstanding and everyone was so friendly. Thank you!
-Marla
It’s only been 6 weeks since my VSG surgery. I wanted to email you to tell you thanks. I didn't know what to expect when I got on the plane, but you guys really delivered what you promised. I met both surgeons and they were both so caring and made me feel comfortable. I thought it was especially nice that I had an English speaking facilitator to take us shopping and show us some sights. That was a nice touch. By the way, I've lost 18 lbs already!
-Gail
Here’s an update on me since my gastric bypass surgery almost 7 months ago. I have lost 82 lbs and feel great! Please say thank you to everyone for me. You may use this email on your website as my testimonial. You really know how to provide a quality service at an affordable price. I would recommend Mexico Weight Loss Surgery to anyone wanting weight loss surgery. In fact, I already have recommended them to some of my friends and family. They take great care of you and the surgeons, staff and hospital are top notch! I can’t imagine finding a better experience even at twice the price!
