Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve in Mexico, is one of the most innovative types of Bariatric surgeries currently performed in Mexico. Gastric sleeve is the fastest growing type of Bariatric surgery and is overtaking gastric bypass as the “quintessential” procedure for weight loss surgery.
Gastric sleeve surgery was the first step of a 2-stage duodenal switch operation in patients with super high body mass index (BMI over 59). This procedure has had impressive results and has helped solve many obesity-related diseases.

Tips for gastric sleeve Mexico
1- Observe your current weight, if you are overweight or obese and have always had that problem; You are a candidate for Bariatric surgery!
Surgery is a procedure indicated in people with grade 1 obesity with comorbidities, which means type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoarticular diseases, or even cancer; since surgery is considered a metabolic reversal and by itself improves the condition even in people without a considerable obesity problem, which is why surgery solves chronic diseases
2- If insurance companies usually cover weight loss surgery, but for this you have to qualify for it, and it usually covers it in people with diabetes or hypertension.
Insurance companies are still trying to figure out where these procedures fall on the cosmetic or health spectrum, so coverage often changes from month to month; some people qualify and some do not, for this it is appropriate to go to a consultation with the DR. Ponce.

Information that every gastric sleeve patient in Mexico should know
1. Follow the 3-stage diet. If you try to eat solid foods too early or start you could be at risk of hurting yourself or your stomach. Experimenting with off-diet foods can certainly have uncomfortable side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, and stomach cramps.
2. Take your time getting back to work. Recovery time is one week, but it takes two weeks after gastric sleeve surgery before a person heals enough to work lifting heavy objects. It is also still necessary to take on light tasks when returning to work. Walking is good exercise, but not lifting heavy objects.
3. Never forget to keep checking. Make sure that you return to your GP during the recovery period to ensure that you are healing properly should you live away. Also, stay on track with diet, exercise, and other medications you may need.
