Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Tijuana, Mexico

What Is a Gastric Sleeve?
Gastric sleeve surgery (also called a sleeve gastrectomy) involves reducing the size of the stomach to about 15 percent of its original size. when your stomach is smaller, you will feel full after eating less food, and your body will absorb fewer calories. this leads to a healthy rate of dramatic weight loss.
The gastric sleeve procedure is a safe and effective weight loss surgery. in fact, a five-year study conducted by the world journal of gastrointestinal surgery found that 98 percent of gastric sleeve recipients showed effective results and zero complications.
Sleeve gastrectomies are performed laparoscopically, so there is minimal scarring. during the surgery, the bariatric surgeon will remove stomach tissue and staple the remaining tissue shut so that it forms the shape of a tube, or “sleeve.”

FAQ
Frequently Asked Question
The average cost of a gastric sleeve depends on several factors. The average cost of getting a gastric sleeve procedure in the U.S. is around $15,400. However, getting your procedure done in Mexico can be much less expensive, even after you factor in travel, hotel, and hospital fees.
Most insurance providers in the USA cover gastric sleeve procedures under bariatric procedures. However, getting your procedure done in Mexico may impact your insurance’s ability to pay out. Check with your insurance provider to make sure gastric sleeve procedures are covered.
Recovering from gastric sleeve takes about the same amount of time as recovering from gastric bypass. Generally, you’re in hospital at least overnight and need to recover for several days in bed. Within 2 weeks, though, you’re able to return to most normal activities. Exercise and heavy lifting should be postponed until you get your doctor’s opinion.
Patients, on average, can expect to lose around 50% of their excess body weight in the first year. That is, if a patient’s current weight is 300 pounds, and the weight they want to be at is 150 pounds, they can expect to lose around 75 pounds as a result of the procedure in the first year. Weight loss does plateau over time, though.
