Minimally invasive surgical treatment is the alternative that offers the best guarantee of success. We perform these techniques using laparoscopic or robotic surgery.
Thanks to these treatments, the patient recovers health and quality of life in a short period of time.
The Area of Obesity at the Clinic is a Center of Excellence in Obesity Surgery, certification granted by the International Federation for Bariatric Surgery (IFSO), the most prestigious institution in the world in this field.
In addition, the Clinic is a leading Center of Excellence in the treatment of obesity at European level, by the European Society for the Study of Obesity (EASO).
After the obesity surgery you will achieve:
- A significant improvement in your quality of life.
- A decrease in health problems associated with obesity: myocardial infarction, hypertension aretrial, type 2 diabetes, varicose veins or increased risk of cancer.
- Acquisition of better eating habits and a healthier lifestyle.

Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass
In this technique, the stomach is sectioned to reduce its size and the small intestine is sutured to the small stomach created. This reduces the amount of food ingested and its absorption.
After the intervention, the average weight lost is usually around 70% of the excess weight and 30% of the total weight.
Laparoscopic tubular gastrectomy
Also called a "gastric sleeve", the stomach is sectioned into a tubular shape, removing approximately 80% of the stomach.
Although the stomach is smaller, food is digested in the same way as before the procedure, and there is no need to section the small intestine.

"A family friend of mine had an operation at the Clínica and, when I saw the results, I didn't think twice and went for it.
I live a totally normal life, eating small meals many times, but totally normal."
