Our affordable Obesity surgery is the best proven method that results in a
durable weight loss. Diets and other medical plans for weight loss have been
shown to have very poor long term results and all with inability to maintain the
weight loss. Long term weight loss without obesity surgery is only achieved by
5-10% of obese women, man and children. Surgery
for obesity has been shown to be very effective and produce, well
documented, long term weight loss. Weight loss of up 70% of excess weight can be
achieved and maintained after gastric bypass surgery.
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery is considered to be the best bariatric procedure for the treatment of obesity and weight loss. We perform this bariatric surgical procedure laparoscopically in Brazil. Only small incisions are required which significantly decrease post operative discomfort and result in quick recovery. The hospital stay is as short as 2-3 days.
Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Surgery results in long term loss of weight and weight control. The goal is not only weight loss, but also improvement in overall health and fitness. This weight loss surgery requires ongoing nutritional, dietary and
activity modifications. Medically supervised diets using registered and licensed dietitians, nutritional instruction and ongoing dietary input will result in optimal weight control and improved health and fitness.
Gastric Bypass and Diabetes type 2
The laparoscopic surgery can send diabetes into remission. Obesity is considered one of the major causes of type 2 diabetes. But studies confirm that about 80 percent of diabetics go into complete remission following the operation. There are
strong indications that when you have the gastric bypass operation, your diabetes (type 2 only) goes away long before you lose the weight.
Why Obesity Surgery in Brazil?
Brazil offers modern, affordable and safe medical Obesity
Surgery. The high quality, training and specialization of surgeons and
medical staff contribute to Brazil being a
worldwide reference in almost all medical procedures. São Paulo, Brazil is
considered to have some of the worlds best equipped hospitals and highly skilled
surgeons. Brazil is the second country in the world that most performs Roux-en-Y Gastric
Bypass Weight Loss Surgeries (USA is in first place). The reputation Brazil achieved in Obesity Surgery can be
explained by the high quality of the surgeons and its lower cost compared to
other countries.
Affordable
Cosmetic Surgery in Brazil
The reputation Brazil achieved in Plastic Surgery extends also to cosmetic surgery after bariatric surgery. Whether a person loses weight through diet and exercise or through bariatric surgery, there are a few problems that arise as a result of the weight loss. One that will be most noticeable is the loose skin that remains after the weight is gone. When someone is overweight, the skin stretches to
accommodate the increased volume of weight. After weight loss, the skin often
fails to tighten, and so it sags. The only way to tighten loose skin is through
plastic or cosmetic surgery. We have specialized plastic surgeons on our
multi-disciplinary medical team.
New Weight Loss Surgery Trends
The Gastric Balloon is a non-surgical procedure available for weight loss in many countries. While gastric balloon procedures generally cost less than other weight loss procedures, the FDA has not approved of the procedure in the United States. The balloon is effective in temporarily reducing hunger, controlling food intake, initiating behavioral (lifestyle) change, and achieving target weight loss. Patients who have the gastric balloon implanted can expect to lose around 35-40% of excess weight, which in most cases results in a weight loss of 30-50lbs (15-20kg). Heavier patients may lose substantially more than this.
The EndoBarrier (Gastrointestinal liner), a non-surgical therapy to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity, received European CE mark approval for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity in December 2009. Clinical trials to date involving more than 280 patients have demonstrated the significant weight loss and diabetes improvement achieved with the EndoBarrier Gastrointestinal Liner. The EndoBarrier is fundamentally a gastrointestinal impermeable barrier or a gastric sleeve that prevents food from coming in contact with the intestinal wall.
