Gastric Sleeve
Gastric Sleeve
Gastric Bypass
Gastric Bypass
It is a type of surgery with a mixed mechanism: restrictive and hypoabsorptive. On the one hand, it restricts the amount of food and on the other hand, it decreases the absorption of
the little amount of food ingested.
It consists of creating a new stomach, a much smaller one, approximately 8 ounces in
capacity, which is connected directly to the intestine, avoiding going through the rest of the
stomach and the initial segment of the intestine.

It is for those patients who had a gastric sleeve and years later present significant weight
gain and/or difficult to manage gastro esophageal reflux, can benefit from a sleeve

hours and rapid recovery.
Allurion Program
Allurion Program
It is an intragastric balloon that is placed without anesthesia, without endoscopy and without surgery, you just take a pill with a glass of water.
This implant remains in the stomach for approximately four months. Once its useful life is over, a valve is disintegrated, the liquid is emptied and the balloon is eliminated naturally by
the intestinal transit, without needing endoscopy or anesthesia for its extraction.
With this method an approximate reduction of 10 kilos is sought.
