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.

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.

Knowing a person's body mass index (BMI) is necessary to know if he is overweight.

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.

How to calculate BMI before weight loss surgery

Before weight loss surgery in Tijuana, it is vital to know the BMI of the applicant. A person's weight and BMI index are closely related to their health. Calculating your characteristics, height, weight, waist size, and the type of physical activity you perform is also essential.

Culturists usually have a high BMI. That is because muscle development weighs more than fat. It is believed that a slightly high BMI can protect them from osteoporosis. In short, those who engage in physical activity often develop high levels of body mass but can have a healthy weight.

On the other hand, sedentary life and poor eating habits can lead to a high BMI that threatens health. In children, young people, and adults, it is necessary to know the causes of weight gain and genetic tendencies and monitor behavior patterns in the presence of a high BMI.

It is worth mentioning that it is also taken into account that in men and women, the development of body mass can vary. For example, when it comes to waist size, men with a measurement greater than 40 inches and women with an index greater than 35 inches are considered at higher risk. In these cases, we need to take into account that there are different body types; in some, the waist tends to grow more than the hips or vice versa.

Typically, the following BMI parameters are used to assess a person's weight according to the CDC:

  • Healthy weight: 18.5–24.9

It is considered that a person has a healthy body weight when it allows him to enjoy a good state of health, low risk of acquiring diseases, and has a good quality of life.

  • Overweight: 25–9

In this category, people have an elevation of 10 to 20% of average weight. Although being overweight is not considered obesity, there is a high risk of developing it.

  • Obesity: 30–9

The higher the BMI, the more body fat and health risks increase. From this, you can classify mild or moderate obesity. People can begin to develop comorbid diseases and other health effects.

  • Morbid obesity: more than 40

Also known as severe or type 3 obesity, it can wreak havoc not so much on people's health as on mobility, which presents a significant risk to their quality and life expectancy.

Do you want to know the formula to calculate BMI? Here's what we show you:

  • Formula: lb./ in2 x 703

That is, that of the person pounds (lb) divided by height squared (inches2) and multiplied by a conversion factor of 703.

What you need to know before drawing up a weight loss plan

Is BMI the only parameter to determine if someone is suitable to undergo surgery at Mexico Bariatric Center? No. While it is true that BMI is an important factor, it is not the only one to consider. Bariatric surgery specialists perform a complete evaluation based on your medical history, causes of obesity, lifestyle, and patient expectations.

In some cases, obesity can be a complication of untreated or even undiagnosed disease, as with hypothyroidism, a condition that causes imbalances in the person's metabolism. It is essential to know that this disease is not contraindicated to undergo bariatric surgery. However, it is vital that the person has medical control and is stabilized.

Similarly, for a successful weight loss surgery in Mexico, the applicant's physical and mental health is equally important. Patients must treat mood disorders like depression and anxiety attacks to begin their process. Good mental health influences your motivation and determination to make the necessary changes in your life.

It is essential to highlight that weight loss surgery is not for everyone. Those who are not willing to make permanent changes in their lifestyle and do not have proper control of their chronic diseases or emotional disorders are not considered suitable candidates for this type of bariatric procedure.

However, it is also necessary to assess the long-term effects. Medical studies indicate that people with obesity typically live up to 10 years less than the general average. In young patients, obesity may not have wreaked much havoc on their person yet, but it is only a matter of time.

With the help of a bariatric surgeon and other specialists, those who want to build a better future and avoid complications caused by obesity can prepare for bariatric surgery. When deciding on weight loss surgery in Mexico, you can count on the guidance of a specialized team. You will have precise advice, constant support, and practical solutions to the obstacles.

BMI, bariatric surgery, and health

In the face of obesity, it is vital to take preventive measures to gain more weight. BMI is an excellent indicator that helps quickly determine whether a person's weight can lead to future health complications. However, all is not lost when you already suffer from obesity and many other health problems.

One body is activated in natural protection mode when trying to lose weight. Metabolism attempts to preserve weight reserves by creating an internal struggle and wanting to be nourished, increasing an appetite. So losing weight or avoiding the rebound effect represents a great challenge.

However, weight loss surgery in Tijuana aims to provide a safe and effective alternative for weight loss. As the primary tool, bariatric surgery reduces the ability to ingest food and impacts the digestive and metabolic systems. So that after surgery, patients may experience higher levels of satiety and their weight loss accelerates.

At the same time that changes in patients' routine and eating habits begin to occur, internal changes also occur. In many cases, people control cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and sleep disorders better. Thus, along with weight loss, he recovers his self-esteem, his freedom of movement, and above all, his quality of life improves impressively.

Candidates for surgery

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 significant change in their lives. These are some factors to consider:

  • The body mass index should be in the range of 30 to 40, depending on the surgery. If this limit is exceeded, there are some factors to consider. For example, your doctor may ask you to lose weight before surgery and be within a suitable range to reduce the risks.
  • People with obesity who suffer from comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, hypothyroidism, joint pain, and others can qualify for bariatric surgery. Of course, before scheduling the surgery, your doctor will make sure they are kept under control.
  • Are you willing to make permanent changes? Then this surgery is for you. Since surgery is not a miracle cure, you need to integrate new consistent eating and exercise habits into your life. If you want definitive results, you must be willing to have new habits for life.
  • o not use tobacco or other harmful substances. People who consume any of these substances cannot be considered for weight-loss surgery as they increase the risks in the procedure and can hinder the recovery process. Therefore, it is recommended to suspend its consumption before surgery and sometime after it.

What is weight loss surgery?

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:

  • Gastric bypass Mexico
    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.
  • Gastric sleeve Mexico
    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.

Weight loss surgery process

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:

Before Weight loss surgery in Mexico

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.

How is the surgery process?

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.

After weight loss surgery

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.

Results of surgery

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.

What are some risks of weight-loss surgery?

All surgeries carry some degree of risks, including weight loss surgery in Mexico. Below, we will take a closer look at some of the risks or side-effects of these procedures that have immense benefits rather than negative effects. Yet, by considering them, we can minimize them and increase their positive results.:

  • Effects after eating. - If you eat too quickly or in substantial amounts after surgery, you may experience gastric reflux, stomach pain, as well as nausea, or vomiting, especially after eating foods with high sugar or fat content.
  • Weight regain. - After a weight loss procedure, the patient must continue with healthy eating habits. In addition, you must distribute your meals well during the hours of the day and avoid emotional eating. Otherwise, you can start to gain weight again.
  • Dumping Syndrome. – This effect occurs when food moves too quickly through the stomach and intestines. Notably, after undergoing gastric bypass in Mexico, some patients suffer from dumping syndrome, which can cause diarrhea, nausea, or sweating. Therefore, the patient should avoid eating foods high in sugar or fat so that the body can get used to the new way of digesting food.
  • Poor nutrition after weight loss surgery. – Due to the malabsorption method that produces weight loss, the body may not absorb all the minerals and nutrients. Thus, patients must stick to a regimen of eating supplements and nutrients in the long term.

On the other hand, there are rare and severe cases in some patients after weight loss surgery, such as:

  • Bleeding
  • Gastroesophageal reflux
  • Intestinal obstruction
  • Infection near cuts
  • Blood clot in the legs or lungs

Although some patients experience latent risks such as those mentioned above, patients who seek the help of our Health & Wellness experts avoid or minimize any risks thanks to the renowned world-class bariatric surgeon in Tijuana. These specialists are not only the best trained for these procedures, but they will also guide you and give you all the necessary instructions, precautions, and guidelines every step of the way.

Benefits of weight loss surgery outweigh by far any risks

Losing weight improves your physical appearance and the diseases associated with obesity. For example, 90% of patients who undergo weight loss surgery experience significant changes in their bodies, such as the cure or improvement of sleep apnea, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and similar chronic conditions. Plus, it significantly reduces the risks of developing cancer and mental disorders such as depression and Alzheimer's.

Another benefit of bariatric surgery is increased self-esteem, both for having managed to eliminate excess weight and having a slim and radiant figure. Thanks to a strong self-esteem, the patient can enjoy a much healthier, more relaxed, and satisfying life, both in the short and long term.

In turn, weight loss after weight loss surgery in Mexico has a direct impact on the patient's quality of life and social interaction. This is greatly beneficial because disorders such as depression or anxiety are reduced, problems that are so common in people when overweight.

After weight loss surgery, food portions are reduced, and their nutritional value increases, which will come in handy because it will help you continue losing weight gradually in a few months; this is perhaps one of the greatest advantages of bariatric surgery.

Without a doubt, there are innumerable benefits after a bariatric procedure, so enjoying them is in your hands. Just reach out to our Health & Wellness experts, and we will show you in detail what other advantages you can experience.

What is the success rate after weight loss surgery?

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.

You are a candidate for a weight loss surgery in Mexico if your body mass index is over 30, you have a serious weight-related health problem, and you are between 15 to 54 years old.

What results can I expect from a weight loss surgery in Mexico?

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.

  • Significant and long-term weight loss
  • Improve or resolve conditions often related to being overweight such as sleep apnea, heart diseases, type 2 diabetes, stroke, gallbladder disease, gout, cancer, asthma, and gastroesophageal reflux disease, among others
  • The amount of weight you can lose will depend on the surgery and changes in your lifestyle, but you can lose half, or even more, of your excess weight within two years
  • Improve the quality of life

The good news is that losing a small amount of weight can reduce your chances of Increase your self-esteem

How to know which surgery to choose

Aspirants to weight loss surgery in Mexico often wonder how they can know which surgery is best. And the answer can be summarized by considering that the best bariatric surgery is the one that adapts to the needs and circumstances of each patient. Therefore, what may work for one, will not necessarily work for others. For this reason, it is recommended to analyze each option with the guidance of a specialist.

During the evaluation, a bariatric surgeon will consider the type of obesity, how many pounds (kilos) it requires to lose, and the level of commitment of the same patient. In those cases where patients are overweight or obese type 1, minimally invasive methods such as the gastric balloon or an adjustable gastric band may be recommended. These help patients acquire good eating habits, and adjustments are reversible, although weight loss capacity is limited.

On the other hand, procedures such as a gastric sleeve or Mexico gastric bypass are recommended in those cases where patients require losing a more significant number of pounds. These, although more invasive, have been proven to achieve more remarkable changes and can be the beginning of a new lifestyle for life. These are characterized by operating through two systems:

  • Restrictive method

It consists of reducing the stomach size so that the ability to eat food is limited. The gastric sleeve is one of the surgeries based on this method and is one of the most efficient for weight loss. In addition, it is usually performed laparoscopically, which favors a shorter recovery time.

  • Malabsorptive method

This method aims to modify the way food is digested. Not only is the stomach reduced in size, but the digestive system is also redirected. Thus, gastric bypass offers the opportunity to lose up to 132 pounds, the most recommended alternative for severe obesity cases.
