Bariatric and metabolic surgery is a surgical specialty focused on comprehensively treating obesity and its associated diseases. This type of intervention not only helps weight loss but also significantly improves conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea, among others.
Services include specialized consultation and outpatient surgeries, with a careful preoperative evaluation, where the patient’s health conditions are analyzed, the most appropriate procedure is chosen, and a close follow-up in the postoperative period, ensuring a rapid and sustainable recovery in the long term.
