Personalized response in less than 1 hour
Do any of these symptoms apply to you?
If any of these situations feel familiar, a consultation could be the right first step.
- Severe obesity: "My BMI is greater than 40 and I need a definitive solution".
- Type 2 diabetes: "I have uncontrolled diabetes and want a treatment that addresses both problems".
- Reflux and obesity: "I have severe reflux that prevents the gastric sleeve".
- Failure of previous treatments: "I have already tried diets, medications, and other surgeries without lasting results".
- Long-term commitment: "I am willing to follow a permanent lifestyle and eating change".
Treatment goals
What we aim to achieve
Results vary by patient. Dra. Mónica Restrepo Moreno will assess you during the consultation.
Superior weight loss: The bypass achieves loss of 70-80% of excess weight, superior to gastric sleeve.
Type 2 diabetes remission: In many cases, diabetes goes into complete remission shortly after surgery, even before losing all the weight.
Improvement of reflux: Unlike sleeve, bypass usually improves or eliminates gastroesophageal reflux.
Resolution of comorbidities: Notable improvement in hypertension, sleep apnea, dyslipidemia, and joint problems.
