GASTRIC SLEEVE IN MEDELLÍN COLOMBIA

Gastric Sleeve in Medellín is a surgical procedure under general anesthesia that effectively helps patients lose weight. This procedure is performed through laparoscopy surgery, in which three (3) incisions of 5mm are made in the abdomen to provide access to the stomach. Subsequently, the stomach is divided into 2 parts and, then, 80% of it is removed.
One advantage of the gastric sleeve is that the stomach keeps working normally, so you can still enjoy most of your favorite foods without the risk of dumping syndrome that can sometimes follow a gastric bypass.

GASTRIC BALLON MEDELLÍN COLOMBIA

The gastric balloon weight loss procedure in Medellín does not require surgery, as it is implanted endoscopically. Insertion and removal of the balloon are relatively quick and less invasive procedures, resulting in a faster recovery. Weight loss with the gastric balloon varies, but typically between 20% and 30% of excess weight is lost. However, results depend largely on the patient's ability to maintain a healthy diet and exercise plan while the balloon remains in the stomach.
The ideal candidate for this type of intervention is someone with a BMI between 30 and 35 who wants to change their eating habits and incorporate regular exercise into their routine to achieve their weight loss goals.

SADI-S BYPASS IN MEDELLÍN, COLOMBIA

The SADI-S bypass, also known as Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal bypass with Sleeve gastrectomy, is a more recent variation of the traditional gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y). This technique uses a single anastomosis (connection) between the stomach and the small intestine, unlike the traditional bypass, which involves two anastomoses. The procedure is designed to be less complex and faster, and it has become an alternative for the surgical treatment of morbid obesity. Its advantages include reduced technical complexity: the SADI-S procedure is technically less complex than the Roux-en-Y bypass, which means a lower risk of complications associated with creating multiple anastomoses.
