The goal of such a procedure is to reduce the size of the stomach and/or intestines, thereby reducing the amount of food a person can eat at a meal. With a dramatically reduced calorie intake, patients can often drop a significant amount of weight and succeed in losing excess pounds and achieving a healthy lifestyle. At Renew Bariatrics, Dr. Perez provides top-notch care at a fraction of what it costs in the United States.

Bariatric Surgeries Performed

He is skilled at several bariatric procedures and can help you decide which one is best for your health and your weight loss needs. Have a look at his wide range of expertise, and know you can trust him with your bariatric surgery.

  • Gastric sleeve surgery – The surgery involves removing part of the stomach so that it holds less food. This allows a patient to feel full sooner, controlling calorie intake. When calories consumed are fewer than calories burned, the patient will begin to lose weight. 
  • Gastric bypass surgery – This procedure involves bypassing part of the intestines. Like gastric sleeve surgery, a patient can eat less food but still feel satisfied. With fewer calories being consumed, the patient can lose a significant amount of weight, even when other methods haven’t worked. 
  • Revisional bariatric surgeries – These are done to correct issues with a past weight loss surgery, even if done in another clinic or hospital. Revisional procedures may also be done to enhance a current procedure.
