In general, Tijuana’s gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. Green is the ideal procedure for many overweight individuals. Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Tijuana with Dr. Green is among the latest medical treatments available to combat morbid obesity. Compared to other medical procedures, gastric sleeve surgery’s relative safety and numerous health benefits have made it an increasingly popular option for both bariatric surgeons and patients seeking effective weight loss treatment.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Tijuana with Dr. Green is one of the surgical weight loss solutions that reduces stomach volume to control food intake and reduce hunger sensations. Unlike gastric bypass surgery, it does not involve cutting, diverting, or bypassing any portion of the intestine, and it does not require a medical implant or periodic adjustments, as in the case of gastric banding.
Approach to Weight Loss Surgery
Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Mexico represents a surgical approach that operates on two distinct fronts: primarily, it reduces stomach capacity, a technique known as restriction. When the weight loss surgeon modifies the original stomach, it not only promotes a healthier lifestyle by curbing hunger sensations but also sends signals to the brain to curb excessive eating.
Furthermore, this surgical procedure diminishes the production of the hunger-inducing hormone ghrelin, significantly reducing its presence. This reduction aids in suppressing appetite, mitigating potential health risks associated with excess weight, and contributing to overall well-being. Moreover, this decreased appetite also fosters reduced calorie consumption, lowered body mass levels, and ultimately, weight loss.

Gastric Sleeve surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed using laparoscopic techniques, employing 4 to 6 specialized laparoscopic tools that are carefully inserted through small abdominal incisions. This approach allows our skilled specialists to work with precision and flexibility. A trocar is then strategically placed in the stomach wall to facilitate the reduction of the stomach’s original size and securely staple it closed. An endoscopic camera is inserted alongside to provide optimal visibility, ensuring precise cuts and minimizing the risk of complications that could affect the patient’s quality of life.
Upon the removal of the excised stomach through the laparoscopic incisions, our team, along with dedicated medical staff, conducts a rigorous leakage test to confirm the stomach’s secure closure, thereby minimizing any potential complications. Subsequently, the 4 to 6 abdominal incisions are expertly sutured. The bariatric patient is then prepared for the post-operative recovery phase within our specialized care unit, where a team of professionals diligently follows a comprehensive patient care protocol.
In recent years, bariatric surgeons have increasingly adopted Gastric Sleeve surgery in Mexico as an effective method for achieving sustainable long-term weight loss. However, the success of the procedure relies on both skilled surgical care and patient adherence to the post-operative instructions provided during their stay in the intensive care unit.
The short-term physical benefits of weight loss are particularly notable, especially for patients with a BMI ranging from 35 to 45. Beyond the visible improvements in physical appearance, Gastric Sleeve surgery has shown a remarkable success rate in managing weight-related health conditions, including hypertension, sleep apnea, nutritional deficiencies, and other associated syndromes. Experience these transformative benefits with Dr. Green in Tijuana, Mexico.
Benefits of the Gastric Sleeve
When considering medical tourism in Tijuana, Mexico with Dr. Green for your weight loss journey, it’s crucial to understand the advantages of the procedure. Gastric Sleeve surgery offers a range of benefits that make it an appealing choice for those seeking transformative results:
- Effective Weight Loss: Gastric Sleeve promotes weight loss by restricting the amount of food that can be consumed in one sitting.
- Reduced Hunger: It diminishes hunger by removing the portion of the stomach responsible for producing the hunger-stimulating hormone ghrelin.
- Normal Digestion: Digestion functions normally since the digestive system remains unaltered.
- No Malabsorption: Unlike procedures involving redirection or bypass of the small intestine, Gastric Sleeve does not lead to malabsorption or nutritional deficiencies.
- Lower Risk of Ulcers: Compared to gastric bypass surgery, there is a lower chance of developing ulcers.
- Less Likely Dumping Syndrome: The stomach outlet (pyloric valve) remains intact, reducing the likelihood of dumping syndrome, a common issue in gastric bypass surgery.
- Simplicity: Gastric Sleeve is a less complex procedure compared to gastric bypass or duodenal switch surgery.
- Laparoscopic Option: It can often be performed laparoscopically, even in extremely obese patients.
- No Implants Required: Unlike some weight loss procedures, Gastric Sleeve doesn’t require the implantation of a gastric band.
- No Adjustments Needed: There’s no need for ongoing adjustments or fillers, as required with LAP BAND or REALIZE Band.
- Safety: It is considered safer than combined restrictive/malabsorptive weight loss surgeries, especially for patients with multiple health issues.
- Conversion Possibility: If further weight loss is needed, Gastric Sleeve can be converted to a gastric bypass or duodenal switch.
- Excess Weight Loss: The expected excess weight loss for the standalone procedure is around 60-70% after two years.
- Cholesterol Reduction: Gastric Sleeve surgery has been shown to lower cholesterol levels.
- Rapid Recovery: Compared to other weight loss surgeries, there is a quicker recovery period.
- Enhanced Psychological Well-being: Achieving significant weight loss often leads to improved psychological well-being, boosting confidence and self-esteem.
