Dr. Diaz Mariscal’s clinic offers a range of advanced bariatric and emergency surgical procedures designed to improve your health and quality of life. Each procedure is carefully planned and executed to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients. Here, we provide detailed information about the procedures we offer:
Advanced laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique that involves making small incisions and performing the surgery using a laparoscope. This method is associated with less pain and faster recovery times, making it an ideal choice for many patients. The laparoscope is a thin tube with a camera and light at the end, allowing the surgeon to see inside the abdomen and perform the surgery with precision. This type of surgery is commonly used for procedures such as gallbladder removal, hernia repair, and bariatric surgery.
At Dr. Diaz Mariscal’s clinic, we utilize the latest laparoscopic techniques to ensure the highest standards of care. Our team is highly skilled in performing these procedures, which offer numerous benefits over traditional open surgery. Patients experience less postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker return to normal activities. Moreover, the smaller incisions result in reduced scarring and lower risk of infection.
Our advanced laparoscopic surgery is suitable for a variety of bariatric procedures, including gastric sleeve, gastric balloon, and gastric bypass. These procedures are designed to help patients achieve significant weight loss and improve their overall health. By choosing laparoscopic surgery, patients can expect a safer and more efficient surgical experience with excellent long-term results.
The gastric sleeve procedure, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a popular bariatric surgery option that involves reducing the size of the stomach. During the procedure, approximately 75-80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow tube or “sleeve” that limits food intake and promotes weight loss. This surgery not only helps patients feel full sooner but also reduces the production of the hunger hormone ghrelin, further aiding in weight loss.
At Dr. Diaz Mariscal’s clinic, the gastric sleeve procedure is performed using advanced laparoscopic techniques. This minimally invasive approach ensures smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery times. Patients typically stay in the hospital for one to two days and can return to their normal activities within a few weeks.
The gastric sleeve is an effective solution for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or those with a BMI of 35-39.9 who have obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. This procedure has shown to result in significant and sustained weight loss, improving patients’ overall health and quality of life.
Our team provides comprehensive pre-operative and post-operative care, including dietary and lifestyle counseling, to ensure the best outcomes for our patients. We are committed to supporting you throughout your weight loss journey and helping you achieve lasting results.
The gastric balloon procedure is a non-surgical weight loss solution that involves placing a silicone balloon in the stomach to reduce its capacity. This helps patients feel full more quickly and consume less food, leading to weight loss. The balloon is inserted through the mouth using an endoscope, and once in place, it is filled with saline solution to expand and take up space in the stomach.
At Dr. Diaz Mariscal’s clinic, the gastric balloon procedure is outpatient, meaning patients can go home the same day. The entire process takes about 20-30 minutes, and patients can expect to resume normal activities within a few days. The balloon remains in the stomach for six months, after which it is removed in a similar manner.
The gastric balloon is suitable for individuals with a BMI of 30-40 who have not been able to achieve significant weight loss through diet and exercise alone. This procedure can result in an average weight loss of 20-30% of excess body weight. It is often a short-term solution to kickstart weight loss and help patients develop healthier eating habits.
Our team provides ongoing support and monitoring throughout the six months the balloon is in place. This includes regular follow-up appointments, dietary counseling, and lifestyle coaching to ensure patients achieve the best possible results. We are dedicated to helping you make lasting changes and improve your overall health.
The gastric bypass surgery, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is a well-established bariatric procedure that involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the intestines to this new pouch. This significantly reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold and alters the digestive process, leading to reduced calorie absorption and substantial weight loss.
At Dr. Diaz Mariscal’s clinic, the gastric bypass procedure is performed using advanced laparoscopic techniques. This minimally invasive approach ensures smaller incisions, less postoperative pain, and faster recovery times. Patients typically stay in the hospital for two to three days and can return to their normal activities within a few weeks.
The gastric bypass is suitable for individuals with a BMI of 40 or higher, or those with a BMI of 35-39.9 who have obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. This procedure has been shown to result in significant and sustained weight loss, often exceeding 60-70% of excess body weight within the first two years post-surgery.
Our team provides comprehensive pre-operative and post-operative care, including dietary and lifestyle counseling, to ensure the best outcomes for our patients. We are committed to supporting you throughout your weight loss journey and helping you achieve lasting results.
