Argentina Obesity Center

Obesity is one of the most prevalent causes of multiple diseases and conditions that afflict people in the United States today. Some people who are more than 100 pounds overweight may find it difficult to lose weight through traditional methods and look to weight-loss treatments and surgeries to provide the answer for long-term weight loss.

Obesity and weight loss treatment and surgeries are generally only an option for people who are more than 100 pounds overweight.

When these fail, surgery is an option for those who have not responded to such treatments and who are severely obese.

Bariatric Surgery at Argentina Obesity Center
Bariatric Surgery is a catchall phrase for several different types of weight loss procedures and surgeries. Candidates for any type of bariatric weight-loss surgery should not expect it to work miracles, as patients are expected to engage and maintain strict eating habits, as well as developing new lifestyle habits and behaviors.

Treatments Offered:

• Gastric Bypass in Y DE ROUX
• Adjustable Gastric Band
• Gastrectomy in Sleeve

Gastric Bypass surgery for obesity is a procedure that results in dividing the stomach to create a small pouch that is directly attached to the small intestine. This pouch can only hold 1 ounce of food, though it may stretch in time to allow a person to eat about a cup of food at a time.  This type of procedure is considered the most drastic, although it contains the highest success rate with patients losing between 60 and 70% of excess body weight within a year.
