What is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery is a set of surgical procedures designed to help people with severe obesity lose weight and improve their overall health. These procedures are considered when patients are unsuccessful with traditional methods, such as diet and exercise, and have health risks associated with obesity.
At New Life, we have a team of highly experienced surgeons. They will guide each patient through a complete evaluation to determine the most appropriate procedure for their individual needs. Bariatric surgery not only helps reduce weight, but also improves or eliminates associated diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnea, among others.
Types of Bariatric Surgery We Offer
There are several types of bariatric surgery procedures, each with its own characteristics and benefits. The choice of procedure depends on the patient's medical conditions, weight loss goals and personal preferences. At New Life, we offer the following surgical procedures:
- Gastric Bypass: This is one of the most common procedures. The stomach is reduced in size and the small intestine is modified to limit food absorption. As a result, patients experience significant weight loss and improvement in comorbidities associated with obesity.
- Gastric Sleeve: In this procedure, a large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow tube. This procedure reduces the stomach's ability to store food, which helps patients control portions and reduce caloric intake.
- Adjustable Gastric Banding: Through a band that surrounds the stomach, its size is reduced, limiting the amount of food that can be consumed. It is less invasive than other procedures and allows adjustments to better suit the patient's needs.
Our medical team will work closely with each patient to help them decide which option is best suited to their health and goals. Bariatric surgery at New Life is performed in a safe and comfortable environment, where every step is tailored to the patient's needs.
Benefits of New Life Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery not only has a direct impact on weight loss, but can also significantly improve patients' quality of life. Some of the most prominent benefits include:
- Improvement of type 2 diabetes: Many patients experience marked improvement or even elimination of type 2 diabetes symptoms, reducing the need for medication and improving blood sugar control.
- Reduction of hypertension: Bariatric surgery can result in a significant improvement in blood pressure, reducing dependence on antihypertensive drugs.
- Improved sleep quality: By reducing abdominal fat, many patients experience a decrease in sleep apnea symptoms, which improves sleep quality and overall rest.
- Emotional and psychological well-being: Weight loss, along with improved physical health, can have a positive effect on patients' self-esteem and emotional well-being, promoting a more positive view of themselves.
Preparation and Recovery Process at New Life
Preparation for bariatric surgery is a comprehensive process that involves several stages. First, we perform a thorough evaluation to ensure that the patient is a good candidate for the procedure. This includes medical analysis, consultations with nutritionists and psychologists, and a detailed review of eating habits and health history.
After surgery, recovery is a gradual process. At New Life, we offer a postoperative follow-up plan that includes regular medical consultations, psychological support and nutritional counseling. In addition, our patients receive an exercise program tailored to their needs and abilities, which helps them stay active and healthy during their recovery.
