Dr. Jacqueline Osuna discusses the eligibility of Gastric Sleeve:

Dr. Jacqueline Osuna is skilled at performing gastric sleeve surgery (vertical sleeve gastrectomy). Dr. Osuna has performed hundreds of laparoscopic sleeve surgeries. We at Mexico Bariatric Center currently have the lowest price for the gastric sleeve in Mexico. Over the years, Dr. Osuna has had some of the lowest infection rates available. Dr. Osuna is also very empathetic and driven to the patient’s success.

Practically, we recommend this surgery to everyone who is obese except the patients who have lots of esophageal reflux and esophageal damage. For those patients, the best option is gastric bypass.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric Sleeve Surgery, or VSG, otherwise known as vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is a weight loss surgery that induces weight loss by restricting the size of the stomach while reducing one’s appetite. VSG resets the metabolic system of patients wrestling with obesity to give them a second chance at life! Dr. Osuna performs this procedure laparoscopically, removing as much as 85% of the stomach, leaving the stomach an approximate size of 4 oz.

The smaller stomach size forces patients to consume fewer calories. This smaller consumption is further fueled by the reduction in the hunger hormone, ghrelin. Ghrelin, otherwise known as Hunger Hormone Release Inducing, is an amino acid that induces the feeling of appetite. By reducing the size of the stomach, the ghrelin hormone is reduced, which allows appetite to be reduced. This very powerful, simple procedure is a lifetime approach to weight loss and obesity. If you have trouble not losing weight after gastric sleeve surgery, there may be a post-op issue.

Dr. Osuna uses a bougie to guide the cutting and stapling of the gastric sleeve surgery. The tool is inserted into the patient’s mouth and goes down through the esophagus. The bougie size Dr. Osuna uses is 34F, or 0.40 inches in diameter.
