Our Bariatric Surgery Procedures

At Hidalgo Bariatrics, we understand that every patient’s weight loss journey is unique. That’s why we offer a range of bariatric surgery options to ensure you receive the best possible care:

Gastric Sleeve Surgery

One of the most popular bariatric procedures, the gastric sleeve reduces the stomach’s size by approximately 60-80%. This leads to a significant reduction in food intake and helps patients achieve substantial weight loss. The procedure is minimally invasive, promoting faster recovery and minimal scarring.

Gastric Bypass Surgery

This procedure not only reduces the size of the stomach but also reroutes the digestive system, decreasing the absorption of nutrients and calories. Gastric bypass surgery is particularly effective for patients with severe obesity and related health conditions, offering long-term weight loss and improved quality of life.

Mini-Gastric Bypass Surgery

The mini-gastric bypass is a less invasive alternative to the traditional gastric bypass, involving a smaller stomach pouch and fewer intestinal connections. This procedure results in effective weight loss and has a shorter recovery time.

Lap Band Removal and Revision

For patients who have previously undergone lap band surgery and did not achieve the desired results, we offer lap band removal and conversion to gastric sleeve surgery. This revision surgery is performed with precision and care, ensuring improved outcomes and enhanced patient satisfaction.

The Benefits of Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery offers more than just weight loss; it can transform your entire life. Here are some of the key benefits:

Significant and Sustainable Weight Loss:

Bariatric surgery is designed to help patients achieve and maintain a healthy weight, reducing the risk of obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.

Improved Quality of Life:

Many of our patients report a dramatic improvement in their overall quality of life after surgery, including increased energy levels, better mobility, and enhanced self-esteem.

Long-Term Health Benefits:

By addressing the root causes of obesity, bariatric surgery can lead to long-term health improvements, reducing the need for medications and decreasing the risk of serious health complications.
