WEIGHT-LOSS SURGERY
IN MEXICO
Weight loss surgery in Mexico is an effective procedure that can help people lose weight by making some changes in the body, specifically in the digestive system. Usually, medical insurance does not cover this type of procedure because it is considered aesthetic, although in many cases, this operation is necessary for health reasons rather than aesthetics.
Unfortunately, many people have to pay for these treatments, which are quite expensive in the United States and cost up to $ 30,000. At Health & Wellness Bazaar, we focus on offering Weight loss surgery in Mexico that will allow you to save up to 80% of the total costs of the operation and obtain the same benefits and results.
It is necessary to know a person's body mass index (BMI) to know if he is overweight. This metric helps bariatric surgeons understand the nutritional status of patients; depending on the height and weight of the people, and when it is calculated, it will indicate if the person is underweight (<18.5), is within the established ranges (18.5 -24.9), or if the person is overweight (25-29.9) or obese (30+).
This index is the first step to knowing any person's nutritional and health status. In recent years, obesity has been a constant concern in Canada, the United States, and Mexico, as the percentage of people suffering from obesity has increased, causing much of the population to suffer from obesity-related health problems.
At Health & Wellness Bazaar, we make healthcare a wonderful experience. Thanks to medical tourism Mexico, we offer patients from all over the world the opportunity to have first-class medical care like the rich and famous get with the comforts of a vacation. How is such an experience possible?
Our packages include world-class facilities, personalized service, immediate attention, and the best specialists and surgeons with the highest credentials. Our all-inclusive packages include the following:
Weight loss surgery in Mexico is also known as bariatric surgery. There are several types of bariatric surgeries. Their differences lie in the various surgical techniques performed, but with the same objective: to facilitate weight loss in those who suffer from obesity.
Each patient's specific characteristics and expectations are evaluated to know which one to choose. At Health & Wellness Bazaar, we are experts in delivering an incredibly high success rate in two of the most recommended surgeries:
It is the most common method in bariatric surgery. It creates a small pouch from the stomach and then connects it directly to the small intestine. In this way, the digestive cycle is altered, and malabsorption is created. Thus, it prevents the intestine from absorbing fats and sugars in large quantities. With this technique, patients lose more weight in less time. Although it is more invasive, the weight loss is remarkably quick.
In this procedure, up to 85% of the stomach is reduced, which provides the opportunity to reduce food portions dramatically. It is a less invasive surgery. No modification is made in the digestive process. Rather, it is a restrictive method since it regulates the hunger hormone. You can lose your excess body weight within 12 to 18 months.
Not all patients qualify to be candidates for bariatric surgery. Why? The specialists at our Mexico Bariatric Center evaluate those physically, emotionally, and psychologically prepared for this great change in their lives. These are some factors to consider:
You may have been trying to cope with being overweight for years. But weight loss surgery in Mexico may be just what you are looking for to lose weight quickly and safely. Today you can fill out a contact form and schedule your first consultation. In it, a health professional will evaluate your clinical status and indicate if you are a potential candidate for this surgery.
If you qualify for any of these surgeries, your doctor will explain in detail which Weight loss surgery in Mexico is ideal for you, answer your questions, and help you understand the risks involved. Some parts of the process of these surgeries are the following:
As a first step, you will receive instructions on preparing before your surgery date. You will also carry out the lab tests and the corresponding exams. You may start on a new diet and fitness plan sooner, as well as specific restrictions.
You can plan your recovery and mentally prepare for a fresh start during this time.
Once the date of your surgery arrives, preoperative studies will be carried out to ensure that your health is optimal. The surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and laparoscopically. This modern surgical technique allows the incisions to be smaller and your recovery to be shorter. This procedure can take between 2 and 4 hours.
Patients typically spend between 24 and 48 hours in the hospital for recovery. During this time, the first results of the surgery are evaluated, and recommendations are made on the care for the first few days. During this time, you will not be allowed to eat food so that the digestive system can heal.
For the first few days after weight loss surgery in Mexico, you will begin a liquid-based diet and receive specific instructions on progressively reintroducing other foods. Additionally, you will learn healthy ways of eating and the portions of each meal. Bariatric patients also accompany their diet with vitamin and mineral supplements.
Although you should avoid rigorous physical activity for the first few weeks, patients can generally return to some daily activities or work after one week. Your doctor can schedule later appointments to monitor your progress and help you during the first few months.
There may indeed be ups and downs in the process, but those who are constant and follow the indicated recommendations manage to lose all or almost all the weight they need and more. The final results of weight loss are obtained between 12 and 18 months.
In most cases, patients experience incredible improvement in diseases related to being overweight. If you notice that you are not losing weight as you should or have health complications, you should see your doctor immediately. He will assess your condition and, if necessary, perhaps perform revision surgery.
At Health & Wellness Bazaar, we want to see you well. We know that weight loss surgery offers you the hope of a better quality of life beyond the aesthetic benefit. Take control of your life and start a significant change in your life today.

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON
DISEASES RELATED TO OBESITY?
Heart disease and stroke
Extra weight usually makes people have high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Cholesterol is a substance that is very similar to fat, and the body needs it to produce hormones, vitamin D and other elements that are essential for the proper functioning of the body. However, when there is excess cholesterol in the blood, it can narrow or harden the arteries, which can be dangerous for one’s health, causing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, which is one of the leading causes of death. This disease includes coronary, cerebrovascular disease or peripheral arterial disease that causes severe pain in the legs.
Some of the causes that can cause elevated cholesterol are:
Hereditary: Sometimes the body makes more cholesterol, while the body does not eliminate it as quickly (genes)
Age and sex: Cholesterol in men is usually higher before age 50, while for women tends to rise in menopause
Overweight: Having a weight higher than recommended will cause triglycerides and cholesterol in your body to increase. By losing weight, you can lower your LDL cholesterol and raise your HDL Cholesterol
Diet: Consume saturated fat that is present in foods of animal origin and some oils, consume "trans" fatty acids and cholesterol that comes from foods of animal origin
The good news is that losing a small amount of weight can reduce your chances of developing heart disease or a stroke. Losing 5%-10% of your weight is proven to lower the probability of developing these diseases.
Type 2 diabetes
Most people with this disease are overweight or obese. Diabetes is a life-long disease that affects the way your body handles glucose. The pancreas is responsible for creating a hormone that transforms fructose into energy. People with this disease produce this hormone, although their body does not use it as it should, and sometimes the pancreas can no longer continue producing it and blood sugar begins to increase. Sometimes this disease can go unnoticed, so we want to share some of the symptoms that can occur are: being very thirsty and irritable, peeing a lot, blurry vision, feeling tired, wounds that do not heal, yeast infections, and tingling or numbness in your hands or feet.
Cancer
Obesity increases the possibility of suffering from some types of cancer since having excessive fat tissue can produce an excess of estrogen that can cause tumors of the breast, endometrium, among others. Also, people who suffer from obesity usually have increased levels of this hormone that can cause tumors because obesity produces a state of inflammation and chronic oxidative stress. Likewise, fat cells produce hormones that can stimulate or inhibit the growth of cells.
Low levels of physical activity, poor dietary habits such as small fiber intake, high consumption of saturated fats and refined carbohydrates means that a large part of the population does not maintain a BMI of less than 25 during their lifetime, making them more prone to suffer cancer during his adult life.
Sleep apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea is a frequent and severe disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops for 10 seconds or more during sleep. Some of the most common symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea are loud snoring and repeated nighttime awakenings followed by excessive daytime sleepiness. This disorder is more common in people with excess weight and obesity, which is associated with a soft tissue of the mouth and throat. During sleep, when throat and tongue are more relaxed, this soft tissue can cause the airway to become blocked, among other factors. This disorder can lead to dangerous complications, such as cardiovascular disease, accidents, and premature death. Weight loss can improve sleep apnea, and weight loss surgery is associated with an 85% success rate considerably reducing the symptoms of this disorder.
