Take Control of Your Weight
If you’ve struggled with your weight for years. Despite diets, workouts, medications, or injections you are not lacking discipline. Obesity is a complex medical condition, and for many patients, sustainable weight loss requires a medical solution.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery (Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy) is one of the most effective and widely performed bariatric procedures in the world. At our Tijuana surgical center, we provide safe, evidence-based care designed to help patients achieve significant, lasting weight loss.
What Is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Gastric Sleeve Surgery, also known as Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG), is a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure in which approximately 75–80% of the stomach is removed.
The remaining stomach is reshaped into a narrow sleeve. This creates powerful weight-loss effects by:
- Limiting the amount of food you can eat
- Reducing production of ghrelin (the hunger hormone)
- Helping you feel full faster
- Improving metabolic response
Unlike gastric bypass, the intestines are not rerouted. This makes the procedure technically simpler while still delivering substantial, long-term weight reduction.
What To Expect From Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Our specialists here at Lighter Dream Bariatric Services can perform gastric sleeve operations on patients in 45 minutes or so. This type of bariatric surgery, as weight-loss surgeries are collectively called, is one of the quickest to do. And results can already be noticed in just a couple of weeks.
