With the gastric sleeve procedure 80% of the stomach is removed through small incisions made laparoscopically. The small remaining portion of the stomach (sleeve) enables the patient to eat smaller portions whilst maintaining a feeling of fullness.
With the gastric bypass procedure a small stomach pouch is created and attached to the middle of the small intestine. This changes the amount of food that the body can digest. It also alters the signals that travel between the digestive system and brain.
The duodenal switch surgery is an extremely specialized which Dr. Rodriguez Lopez has performed hundreds of successful procedures of. Dr. Rodriguez can also revise a gastric sleeve easily to various weight loss surgeries including a Duodenal Switch surgery. This effective weight loss surgery is a great option for people who have significant weight to lose, being both restrictive and malabsorptive.
Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS), is the newest technological advancement in bariatric surgery. Single incision surgery allows bariatric surgeons to perform the same procedures, including gastric band and gastric sleeve, using only one incision.
The Mini Sleeve is performed using 3-5 incisions laparoscopically. Instead of the usual 80% of stomach size reduced, the mini sleeve offers a less invasive surgery with removing just 40-50%.
Our specialized staff, both in the United States and Tijuana, Mexico, work together throughout the entire surgery process. Hotel and hospital stay are both included in our surgery packages.

Patients may not be right for single incision weight loss surgery, because the surgery requires a clear viewing of the patient’s internal abdomen. Lighter patients are more likely to be a candidate for the surgery. Patients are urged to contact our care specialists to learn about their candidacy at 855-768-
