Procedures

There are different types of bariatric procedures, currently these promote a significant reduction in weight, safely and effectively. Gone are those years of struggle with restrictive diets and impossible to follow; harmful medications and endless exercise routines. Now you can improve your appearance, health and quality of life.

There are three different approaches: restrictive, malabsorptive, and mixed. In the first case, the stomach volumetric capacity is decimated. While, in the second, it slows down; to some extent, the ability to absorb nutrients and calories from food, the third is a combination of both.

These procedures are divided according to the techniques used in them. We have surgical procedures and non-surgical procedures.
