Bypass Gástrico

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.
