What will our team at Tijuana Bariatric Center Do for You?

Our Tijuana Bariatric Center not only focuses on performing bariatric surgery. It also provides other aids that will make the weight loss procedures effective. To do this, we work with patients individually before, during, and after surgery. Some of these services are:

Evaluation and assessment

As a first step, the team of bariatric experts performs a complete evaluation of each patient to determine the health conditions, needs, expectations, risk factors, and the type of surgery the patient requires. But this assessment is not only physical, the doctors also make sure that you are mentally prepared since a bariatric patient will face significant changes in his life and needs to be aware of everything that implies.

Clearing doubts and provide training

At the beginning of this process, you may have common questions about bariatric surgery that may concern you. So do not hesitate to have frank communication with your doctor since part of the process is to help you solve all those doubts.

To help you make an informed decision, we provide you with useful information about obesity and all the details of the process involved in gastric sleeve and gastric bypass surgeries.

Bariatric treatment

Once the best option for the patient is determined, all preparations for surgery are made. That involves scheduling the date, conducting preoperative studies, and guiding you every step of the way prior to surgery. And if you come from abroad, we make sure you have comfortable accommodation and all ground transportation.

On the day of your procedure, your medical team will review your general health, prepare you for surgery, and provide you with anything you need at your room.

On the day of your operation, your medical team will check that you are ready for the surgery. In the same way, after the surgery, you will undergo continuous check-ups, evaluation, and report the results obtained, as well as some indications about your care for your recovery.

Follow-up phase

The second most important part of your process is follow-up. From here, you will continue to have support staff who will guide you in the care of your recovery and the new routine that you will implement to lose weight continually and permanently.

You will be assigned periodic consultations (virtually or in person) that will allow you to see the progress of your goals. There are times when a patient may stagnate in their weight loss or feel that it is going very slow, so with the help of a specialist, the cause can be determined to provide a satisfying solution to continue with your progress.

Nutritional, psychological, and physical counseling

Before and after surgery, we offer you nutritional plans and physical activity routines that you must implement in your new life routine. As the goal is for them to be permanent changes in patients' lives, we help them make a comfortable and natural transition.

AFFORDABLE, HIGH-QUALITY BARIATRIC CARE

Many patients that come through our doors wish they had made this decision a long time ago. What took them so long? The majority have agreed that a primary reason had to do with the high medical costs in the United States and the difficulties of having their health insurance cover them.

Health & Wellness Bazaar through Tijuana Bariatric Center offers the same -and, sometimes even better- medical treatments, facilities, and certified physicians of the best hospitals in the U.S but at a fraction of their rates. The reason? Those clinics and hospitals have incredibly overhead expenses to pay each year. In contrast, patients who come to Tijuana can take full advantage of comfortable facilities with the highest standards that save costs.

TYPES OF BARIATRIC SURGERIES

Although there are various methods and types of weight loss surgery, the fundamental principles are based on two aspects; 1) reducing the amount of food a person can take in, and 2) reducing the body’s natural nutrient absorption ability for a quick weight loss. With that in mind, the most performed surgeries in patients with BMI levels of 35 or greater are the following:

Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve). - A significant portion of the patient’s stomach is reduced, causing almost immediate satiety sensation and reducing dramatically the production of hormones responsible for making a person feel hungry.

Gastric Bypass. - This surgery uses both stomach reduction and malabsorption when it connects or bypasses the stomach portion to the small intestine. Thus, the number of calories absorbed from any type of food is extremely reduced. As a result, bariatric patients with the highest BMI levels can see much faster results in terms of weight loss.

Gastric Band. - Similar to gastric sleeve, this method reduces the size of the stomach to reduce the amount of food a person can store, but instead of making an incision, a band is placed around it.

ARE YOU A SUITABLE CANDIDATE?

First of all, in order to know if a person is eligible for bariatric surgery, a doctor will focus on his or her BMI. These three letters stand for Body Mass Index, which according to specialists and official channels such as the World Health Organization, is the determining factor is a person is obese and/or the level of his obesity. Therefore, anyone can know his BMI by dividing his weight by the square of his height, which usually is expressed in kilograms (km) and square meters (m2).

Consider the following chart to know the levels of obesity according to health specialists and research performed for several years:

Level BMI
Underweight Less than 18.5
Healthy Weight More than 18.5 and less than 25
Overweight More than 24.9 and less than 30
Obesity More than 29.9 and less than 35
Severe Obesity More than 34.9 and less than 40
Morbid Obesity More than 39.9 and less than 50
Extreme Obesity More than 50

The most suitable candidates to undergo some type of weight loss surgery are those patients who are in the Severe Obesity Level or more or have a BMI of 35 or more. There are cases when a person’s BMI is between 30 and 35 and suffers from comorbidities, such as Type 2 diabetes and hypertension. In these cases, bariatric specialists might recommend the patient for weight loss surgery. Moreover, if a patient has a BMI of 25 or more in addition to severe effects from diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, or similar, is definitely the best candidate for such procedures.

Another common denominator in patients highly recommended for bariatric surgery is that they have struggled for many years to lose weight with various methods such as physical exercise or strict diets without satisfactory results. These make the nest bariatric patients since they are already committed to drastic health and life changes, which are required after weight loss surgery to ensure optimal long-term results.

Will You Choose the Bariatric Center?

Things will not get better unless you choose better. There are many offers out there to choose from when it comes to losing weight and feeling better. Nonetheless, you know when something sounds too good to be true. Granted, undergoing weight loss surgery might not sound as easy as other methods, but we can ensure that the outcome will make it worthwhile.
