Gastric Bypass surgery

Bariatric surgery using the Gastric Bypass technique helps people treat obesity and metabolism problems. Roux-en-Y bypass (Capella) is a method that aims to build a new gastric pouch (stomach with about 50ML) and anastomosing (sewing) it above the intestine. The parts of the organs such as the stomach and the intestine that remain in the same place, what happens is that the path of the food and digestive enzymes are no longer passed through the parts where the deviation occurs. With this, the patient starts to eat less food, because the storage capacity is smaller, increasing the level of hormones that generate satiety, reducing hunger.

Gastric Sleeve surgey

Considered one of the most satisfactory weight loss procedures, the Gastric Sleeve is a method that has as its objective the construction of a new stomach, which in turn has its format reduced, practically in the shape of a thin tube.

The stomach has its size reduced, in which an average of 75% of its structure is removed and the rest ends up being stapled.

Gastric band
