Other Surgery Options
Single Incision Laparoscopic Sleeve Surgery – Single-incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS) is minimally invasive, has fewer scars, and has a faster recovery time. It is the most recent development in minimally invasive surgery. This procedure allows the operation to be performed through only a single incision and reduces the stomach by about 80%. The majority of a hunger-stimulating hormone called Ghrelin is removed, and patients feel full faster. Be Slim Bariatrics performs the single incision gastric sleeve.
Duodenal Switch Surgery – Duodenal Switch Surgery is an effective weight loss surgery that combines Sleeve Gastrectomy and the RNY Gastric Bypass. This type of bariatric surgery is advisable for morbidly obese patients with a BMI greater than 50. Aside from losing weight, BPD/DS also reduces the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and severe sleep apnea. This bariatric procedure in Tijuana is less common due to its complexity. And while BPD/DS is very effective, it involves more risks. The duodenal switch surgery is not recommended for medical travel. Be Slim Bariatrics does not perform the duodenal switch surgery.
