Having Gastric Banding Surgery in Mexico?

Having bariatric surgery in Mexico is a good move if you lack insurance, or need a low-cost surgical provider. But there are other benefits to having gastric banding in Mexico, and it has to deal with surgical experience. In the United States medical technologies need to be approved by the FDA, but in Mexico there isn’t a need for this. Because of this, Lap-Band surgery was practiced and preformed in Mexico by bariatric surgeons, long before their American counterparts. In fact, some of our physicians have preformed hundreds of more gastric banding surgeries than some of the top-physicians in America.

What is Gastric Banding Surgery?

Esophagus, Stomach, Intestine, Anus Gastric Banding Surgery, or adjustable gastric banding, is the most common form of bariatric surgery that utilizes a band that wraps the upper portion of the stomach to reduce the amount of food that you consume. This is a restrictive type of bariatric surgery that restricts food intake, thus helping the patient consume less food.

The adjustable part comes in when patients can adjust the band which affects the amount of restriction that is necessary. The physician usually adjusts the band based on your current weight loss, food cravings and other physical reactions.

Gastric Banding uses a proprietary device that restricts the stomach, the two FDA approved “bands,” or implants are the: Lap-Band system and the Realize Band. The Lap-Band system is the most popular, with over 550,000 people undergoing the procedure and over 100,000 people undergoing the Realize procedure.

What are the Risks, Complications and Side Effects of Gastric Banding?

Gastric banding surgery comes with many risks and possible complications, but so does any major surgery. One of the benefits of gastric banding, is that since it’s less invasive than other bariatric surgeries, it actually holds less risks than, for example, gastric bypass. But that still doesn’t mean there are not risks. There is always the risk of death during or after surgery - as with all surgeries - but it occurs once about every 2,000 surgeries.

Specific risks from the implant itself include eroding implant, the implant can deflate, the band can make the stomach blocked and more. There is also infection risks with surgery, as well as bleeding. Side effects can include vomiting, nausea, and diarrhea. Your bariatric physician will tell you all the possible risks, and complications that can occur - it’s important to ask a lot of questions with your doctor before doing the surgery.

Am I a Candidate?

Who is a Candidate for Mexico Gastric Banding Surgery?

Unlike RNY gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy surgery which typically require high BMIs, Lap-Band is least invasive and provides a short-term to mid-term tool for weight loss. Patients with body mass indexes of over 40 are good candidates, but patients with as low as 30 BMIs can also be a candidate.

Based on the manufacturer website, Lap-Band system is acceptable for patients with between 30 and 40 BMIs if they have a co-morbidity such as hypertension, diabetes, or high cholesterol. Realize Band is approved for patients who have BMIs of 35 to 45 and also with a co-morbidity.
