Allurion Program
Discover the innovative new procedure of a gastric balloon contained within a capsule. This is taken without the need for anesthesia, endoscopy, or surgery. After swallowing the capsule, an x-ray is taken to verify that it is correctly seated. Within 4 months it is eliminated naturally while having a weight loss of around 10-12% total. Recovery is very fast, with a maximum duration of 72 hours. The duration of the program is 6 months.
Gastric sleeve
The gastric sleeve is a metabolic bariatric procedure in which 70 to 90% of the stomach is removed, managing to lose weight in relation to the new size of the stomach, resulting in a weight loss of up to 40 kg. In this procedure, recovery and reintegration into daily life takes longer.
Bariclip
Bariclip is a new procedure performed laparoscopically that uses a vertical barrier device to separate the stomach in two. The capacity is reduced to 10-30%, it is the part where the food passes and digests. The remaining 70 to 90% of the stomach is not removed or cut, nor is the anatomy or nutrient absorption altered. It is a completely reversible procedure.
Laparoscopic surgery
It is a procedure where surgeries are performed through small and aesthetic incisions. Devices are placed and surgery is done using a camera attached to a monitor with special tools to solve the problem this way. They have a faster recovery and can soon be incorporated into their daily activities. Some of the procedures that are performed through this route are surgeries of the esophagus, gallbladder, appendix, hernias, among others.
