Gastric Sleeve in Cancun

A gastric sleeve surgery trip to Cancun, a Mexican resort city, could be a complete value-for-money alternative to having the surgery in your home country. Many people who have failed to lose weight despite eating right and slogging it out in the gym turn to gastric sleeve surgery to banish the menace of obesity.

Apart from the sleeve, people also go for gastric bypass surgery in Cancun.

  • Additionally, the resort city is quite Americanized because of a sizable American Diaspora and is thronged by a large of number Spring Break revelers. So despite traveling abroad, your whole experience is not that “foreign”.
  • Mexico Bariatric Services always underscores patient satisfaction and hence works with one of the prime hospitals of the city. So despite paying only a fraction of the US prices, you can look forward to highly satisfactory services.
  • Your surgery will be scheduled quickly with any weighting periods involved.
  • With its beautiful tropical beaches and pulsating nightclubs galore, Cancun is a travel magnet. Consider spending a couple of days savoring the resort city’s touristy offerings (of course before your surgery), if you want to give your medical trip a tinge of a vacation too.

Gastric Sleeve Explained

  • The bariatric procedure involves removing a large part of the stomach (almost 75% of it).
  • The reduced stomach is just the size of a banana and even resembles it.
  • Because of the smaller stomach size, you feel full after eating only small quantities of food. This aids in weight loss.
  • Gastric sleeve is alternatively known as sleeve gastrectomy, vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), gastric reduction, and greater curvature gastrectomy.
  • Since your surgeon will insert a laparoscope (a tiny camera) through a tiny incision, he will be able to the see the inside of your stomach. Hence, there won’t be any need to make large incisions. In fact, 2 to 5 tiny incisions suffice for surgery.
  • After excising a major part of your stomach, the surgeon will join the remaining parts with staples.
