The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass has the longest track record of all the bariatric surgeries available today. Due to its longevity and positive patient outcomes, it is considered by top doctors and experts in the fields of weight loss and obesity as the “gold standard” in bariatric surgery.
Gastric bypass surgically reduces food intake by constructing a tiny pouch at the top of the stomach. This pouch reduces the amount a person can eat in one sitting. The pouch is subsequently linked to a segment of the small intestine, allowing food to bypass the lower stomach and the first two sections of the small intestine. The gastric bypass cannot be reversed and should be regarded as a permanent operation.
Dr. Alejandro Lopez’s patients have improved their general health thanks to his years of experience in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass at ALO Bariatrics. Diabetes was decreased or entirely eradicated six and twelve months after surgery. Patients who have had gastric bypass are now living the healthy lifestyle they had always imagined.
The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is responsible for over half of all weight reduction procedures performed in the United States. However, it is available in Mexico for a fraction of the cost for the same results. It is an effective tool for those who are overweight.

In most cases, the surgery is performed laparoscopically and is a minimally invasive procedure. Patients tend to see upwards of 50% of excess weight lost in the first year.
Obesity isn’t simply a mental battle; it’s a real condition that requires all the aid and support you’d get if you had any other disease. A high BMI shortens your life expectancy, causes or worsens health problems, and affects your quality of life. Being slimmer will not solve every problem in life, but when you are healthy and happy, you are in a wonderful position to confront whatever comes your way. Here are just a few of the advantages that gastric bypass surgery in Tijuana may be able to provide you.
You will be put under general anesthesia. This allows us to safely perform the surgery and prevents you from feeling pain.
Incisions will be made in the abdomen. In most cases, we perform gastric bypass laparoscopically, so these incisions are quite small.
Your stomach will be divided into two sections and your intestines rerouted. The result will be one section of the stomach completely bypassed while the other will still take in food.
Your incisions will be closed and then you will be moved to recovery. We will keep an eye on you there until you are ready to go to your hotel. Once there, we will help you as you recover.
To qualify for gastric bypass, you must:
Recovering from gastric bypass surgery typically involves a timeline of 4 to 6 weeks for full recovery. Patients typically stay in the hospital for 1 to 3 days and may need to take 1 to 3 weeks off work. Pain is usually managed with medication and patients will have a slow transition from clear liquids to solid foods. A slow transition back to regular activity and exercise is also recommended.
For 2-3 weeks before the operation, the pre-op diet for gastric bypass surgery normally consists of a liquid diet. This aids in liver shrinkage and lowers the chance of problems during the treatment. The greater a patient’s body mass index (BMI), the greater their risk of post-operative problems. Patients can lose weight and lower their BMI by following a pre-op diet, lowering their risk of problems.
Protein smoothies, clear broths, and non-carbonated water may be included in the diet. It is critical to follow the exact instructions offered by the surgeon and nutritionist. In addition, patients are recommended to refrain from smoking, drinking alcohol, and taking any drugs that may promote blood thinning in the weeks preceding surgery.
The stomach capacity following gastric bypass surgery is just 1 to 2 ounces, down from 60 ounces, making every single piece of food critical in reducing the risk of nutritional deficiencies that patients confront after surgery.
You’ll be put on a clear liquid diet for the first several days to a week following surgery, consisting of broth, black decaf coffee or tea, and water.
After the first week, you should be able to transition to a full-liquid diet of sugar-free nutrition and protein drinks, smooth smoothies, yogurt, and thin hot porridge. Your surgeon will assign protein targets to you to guarantee appropriate recovery.
You’ll be able to consume soft and pureed meals after around 2-3 weeks. Scrambled eggs, soft ground beef or fish, tofu, canned fruit, and other foods fall into this category. Avoid solid meals, high-fiber foods, and spicy foods.
While reintroducing meals, the post-op diet should be mostly composed of fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and balanced carbs. Avoiding high-fat, high-carbohydrate, and high-calorie diets will be critical for avoiding problems. Patients are urged not to consume too much food in one sitting, otherwise they may experience abdominal pain, nausea, and diarrhea. Patients must follow post-op gastric sleeve diet instructions established by our surgeons and dietitians.
Weight loss after gastric bypass surgery can vary, but on average, patients can expect to lose about 70% of their excess weight after surgery. According to a review of about 136 different studies by Buchwald et al., more than 22,000 patients had weight loss surgeries with those who had gastric bypass recording an average percentage excess weight loss of 68%. Another review by Trastulli et al. revealed a percentage of excess weight loss ranging from 62% to 94% in patients who had gastric bypass surgery. Keep in mind that weight loss results can vary depending on factors such as the patient’s pre-surgery weight and adherence to post-surgery guidelines.

Gastric sleeve surgery is a weight loss procedure in which the stomach is reduced to about 15% of its original size. The reduced stomach size holds less food and enables most patients to feel full with smaller portions, thereby eating less and losing weight. Gastric sleeve surgery is a less expensive alternative to gastric bypass surgery. It combines restriction and malabsorption. It is very effective in obtaining and maintaining long-term weight loss. Gastric bypass, on the other hand, has the longest track record in the U.S., having been performed since 1967. Contact one of our surgeons at ALO Bariatrics to see which is right for you!
The Duodenal Switch (DS) is a weight loss surgery that is similar to the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB). It involves reducing the size of the stomach (weight loss by restriction) and bypassing a portion of the small intestine (weight loss by malabsorption). However, the DS leans more towards malabsorption, while the RYGB leans more towards restriction.
DS is considered more effective in achieving weight loss than gastric bypass, with patients losing more weight than gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. DS is also more effective in resolving type 2 diabetes compared to sleeve gastrectomy, leading to remission of type 2 diabetes in up to 98% of patients.
In the duodenal switch procedure, the surgeon removes 80% of the stomach, similar to the gastric sleeve procedure. However, instead of keeping the small stomach attached to the small intestine, the surgeon bypasses the first part of the small intestine.
LAP-BAND is a type of weight loss surgery that uses a band to make your stomach volume smaller. It is a restrictive bariatric surgery in which an adjustable band is wrapped around the top region of the stomach to form a tiny stomach pouch and delay food flow. It’s not as invasive as other types of weight loss surgery like gastric bypass or duodenal switch. The band can be taken off if needed and it generally has fewer risks and a quicker recovery time. However, the weight loss is not as significant as other types of weight loss surgery.
The average cost of getting a gastric bypass will vary depending on where you get the procedure, who is doing the procedure, and other factors. The average cost of getting a gastric bypass done in the USA is around $23,000. Getting gastric bypass in Mexico will reduce the costs greatly.
If you define success rate by how many patients lose weight after the procedure, the success rate is around 99%. On average, gastric bypass recipients lose 50-60% of their excess weight after a year. Those who do not lose weight from a gastric bypass procedure are usually taken in for revision surgery, which is likely to result in weight loss.
Patients are put under general anesthesia during gastric bypass surgery, so patients will not feel any sort of pain. Post-surgery, patients are given mild pain medicine for abdominal pain. Patients who have severe abdominal pain after surgery are in the minority.
