Obesity is a disease that significantly affects the quality of life, more than 54 medical conditions associated with obesity have been identified, among them diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, sleep apnea, fatty liver, etc. all of them can be improved with surgery.
​
To date, bariatric surgery is the only treatment with long-term results, medical management only has long-term results in 3% of patients and does not adequately control comorbidities.
By improving diseases associated with obesity, Bariatric surgery reduces the risk of mortality and frees the patient from the use of many medicines
​
We have extensive experience of more than 15 years performing these procedures daily and with more than eight thousand patients operated on.

Most studies show that with bariatric surgery lose weight more than 98% of patients and in the long term (more than 5 years) maintain the loss more than 67% of patients.
The most surprising thing is the metabolic effect of surgery, which manages to improve diseases that were previously considered incurable, such as diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, etc. which has led to talk more about metabolic surgery than about bariatric surgery only.
In 2004, Dr. Henry Buchwald, ( [i] ) published his first meta-analysis that includes 131 studies and 22,094 patients where it is shown that diabetes was completely resolved in 76.8% or improved in 86% of the patients included, later in March 2009, Dr. Buchwald published a second meta-analysis ( [ii ] ) in which 621 studies and 135,246 patients are included, corroborating the complete resolution of diabetes in 78.1% and the improvement or resolution in 86.6%, turning the fact into something practically irrefutable.
The most surprising finding has been that diabetes is beginning to resolve before the patient loses weight, in some cases the day after surgery
