Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Guadalajara, only $5,350.00*

The gastric sleeve procedure, also called a sleeve gastrectomy, is a type of weight-loss surgery that reduces the size of the stomach. During the procedure, Dr. Cordero removes about 75–80% of the stomach, leaving behind a narrow, sleeve-shaped pouch. This smaller stomach limits the amount of food that can be eaten and helps decrease hunger by reducing the production of hunger hormones. This surgery is performed laparoscopically, using small incisions and specialized instruments.

A gastric bypass is a weight-loss surgery that both reduces stomach size and changes the way food is absorbed. In this procedure, Dr. Cordero creates a small pouch at the top of the stomach and directly connects it to a section of the small intestine, bypassing the rest of the stomach and part of the intestines. This limits how much food can be eaten at once and decreases calorie and nutrient absorption. The surgery is most often done laparoscopically, through small incisions in the abdomen.

Gastric Plication, also called laparoscopic gastric plication, is ideal for moderately overweight patients. It is a less-invasive procedure that reduces stomach size without removing any part of it. During the surgery, Dr. Cordero folds the stomach inward and stitches it in place, creating a smaller, tube-like pouch. This limits the amount of food the stomach can hold and helps promote a feeling of fullness with less food. Like other bariatric procedures, it is usually performed laparoscopically through small incisions.

An intragastric balloon is our least invasive bariatric procedure and is well-suited for moderately overweight patients. Dr. Cordero places a soft & expandable balloon in the stomach. It is inserted endoscopically through the mouth and then filled with saline to occupy space in the stomach, leaving less room for food. This helps patients feel full sooner and eat smaller portions. The balloon typically remains in place for about six months before being removed.
