Treatment goals

What we aim to achieve

Results vary by patient. Dr. Mónica Restrepo Moreno will assess you during the consultation.

Significant and sustained weight loss, with the support of the team.

Reduced cardiovascular risk: has been shown to help reduce the risk of strokes and heart disease.

How it works

1

Evaluation with Body Composition Analysis

I review your complete medical history and perform bioimpedance analysis (InBody 380) to measure fat, muscle mass, and visceral fat. With this objective data, we determine if this procedure is suitable for you.
2

Preparation with My Team

Evaluation by anesthesiology, nutrition, sports medicine, and psychology before the procedure, and management of your associated conditions.
3

Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass

I reduce the size of the stomach and modify the route of the digestive system: this limits the amount of food consumed and decreases its absorption, which can particularly help with type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
4

One Year of Follow-up

Follow-up appointments with bariatric surgery, nutrition, sports medicine, and psychology for one year, including control body composition analyses.

“Mi experiencia con la Dra. Mónica Restrepo ha sido excelente. Desde mucho antes de mi cirugía recibí un acompañamiento muy completo; todo me fue explicado con claridad y siempre sentí que estaba en muy buenas manos. El día de la cirugía todo fue muy organizado y diligente. Llegué a la hora acordada y de inmediato comenzaron a prepararme para el procedimiento. Durante mi estancia en la clínica estuvieron muy pendientes de mí y me hicieron sentir cuidada y acompañada en todo momento. La Dra. Mónica es una excelente profesional y se nota la experiencia y el amor con el que realiza su trabajo. Pero, además de ella, quiero destacar a todo su equipo, porque el acompañamiento de cada una de las personas que estuvo conmigo fue maravilloso. Hoy, a tan poquito tiempo de mi cirugía, poder ver los cambios que ya estoy experimentando me hace sentir que tomar esta decisión valió completamente la pena. Estoy muy satisfecha y agradecida con todo el proceso. ❤️ Recomendaría a ojos cerrados a la Dra. Mónica Restrepo y a todo su equipo. Gracias por acompañarme en una decisión tan importante y hacer que todo este proceso fuera mucho más tranquilo y bonito.🙏🏼❤️”

Frequently asked questions

How long does the Gastric Bypass procedure take?

The duration of the surgery depends on each individual case. During the evaluation, I will explain your specific procedure, pre-operative preparation, and post-operative follow-up.

What is the difference between gastric sleeve and gastric bypass?

In the gastric sleeve, only the size of the stomach is reduced. In the bypass, the stomach is also reduced and, in addition, a bridge is made in the intestine that decreases the absorption of food. The bypass, also known as metabolic surgery, is a very good alternative if you have severe reflux, a hiatal hernia, hard-to-control type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Which one is right for you is decided at the consultation.

How much does gastric bypass cost in Medellín and what does it include?

Bariatric surgery with Dr. Mónica Restrepo starts from $22,000,000 COP. The exact cost of gastric bypass is determined during the evaluation, based on your background, medical history, and body composition analysis. The price includes clinical expenses, one-day hospitalization, a complications policy, appointments with anesthesiology, nutrition, sports medicine, and psychology, one year of follow-up by bariatric surgery, and control body composition analyses. The evaluation consultation costs $250,000 COP for in-person or $180,000 COP for virtual, and you can finance the treatment with Welli in up to 36 fixed installments.

What side effects can I expect after a Gastric Bypass?

Like any intervention, Gastric Bypass may have expected effects such as nausea, vomiting, or changes in digestion initially. My team will provide clear guidelines to manage them and help ensure the most comfortable recovery possible.

What can I expect during my recovery and in the time after surgery?

In general, the hospital stay is one day. From the second day you can do your daily activities, without lifting objects heavier than 10 kg, and around the fourth day you can return to work that does not involve physical effort. Every recovery is different: at the consultation I explain the care and follow-up my team provides.

Who are not candidates for Gastric Bypass?

Gastric Bypass is not suitable for everyone. We carefully evaluate each case, considering factors such as uncontrolled pre-existing medical conditions, certain psychiatric disorders, or the inability to commit to the necessary lifestyle changes. My evaluation will determine if this procedure is the most appropriate for you.

Are there other options besides Gastric Bypass for obesity?

Yes, there are other options that we will evaluate with you. I also perform Gastric Sleeve and Intragastric Balloon insertion, as well as revisions of previous surgeries. Together, we will analyze which procedure best aligns with your needs and health goals.
