Gastric bypass
This surgery helps to decrease and restrict the absorption of food, leaving a small size in the stomach for food storage, and creating a deviation to the small intestine in Y de Roux, achieving faster satiety due to the size of the stomach, plus a bad absorption that adds efficiency to the technique.
Gastric sleeve
It is the most widely used bariatric surgery, in this surgery approximately 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a very small size generating a narrow tube. After gastric sleeve surgery, the person will eat less food, will feel satisfied faster, and will be less hungry.
Gastric balloon
The gastric balloon is a flexible and soft silicone sphere, it is inserted into the patient's stomach, by means of an endoscopy, to reduce the storage capacity of the stomach, generating satiety faster and reducing food consumption, in order to achieve weight loss in people with obesity.
