Metabolic Surgery

Metabolic surgery for the rio grande valley, texas and other areas

Gastrointestinal metabolic surgery is designed to address a full range of metabolic diseases and condi-tions that can lead to obesity, diabetes, and other ob-esity-related health issues.
 
At our surgery centers in Reynosa, Saltillo, and Mon-terrey, Mexico, we serve patients from the Rio Grande Valley Texas and other areas throughout Mexico and the United States. Through metabolic surgery, the digestive tract can be altered using one or more specially chosen bariatric surgery pro-cedures.

About metabolic surgery at our monterrey, reynosa, and saltillo surgery centers

The gastrointestinal tract is part of the digestive system. It acts upon ingested foods through physical and chemical means. The gastrointestinal tract and, in particular, the small intestine, have been found to regulate blood sugar levels, metabolism, and appetite. Abnormalities in the gastrointestinal tract have been found to lead to obesity, diabetes, and other issues. At Advanced Medicine Institute, our board-certified bariatric surgeons induce changes in the anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract to correct these issues.
 
Through the appropriate form of gastric bypass obesity surgery and other weight loss surgical procedures, metabolic surgery at our practice serving patients from Monterrey, Brownsville, San Antonio, Houston, and other areas, can help many obese individuals reduce or eliminate the effects of diabetes and obtain life-changing weight loss results.
 
As a virtual cure for diabetes for some patients, metabolic surgery addressed the cause or causes of diabetes and achieves results that are unprecedented. Through metabolic surgery and the resultant normalization of blood glucose levels, some patients are able to reduce or eliminate the use of insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents.

The revolutionary nature of metabolic surgery

Metabolic surgery represents an entirely new way of looking at diabetes care and weight loss surgery. By using the appropriate procedure, or combination of obesity surgery procedures, metabolic surgery at our practice serving those from Monterrey and other areas of Mexico, as well as Brownsville, San Antonio, Dallas, and throughout the U.S., can provide a customized treatment designed to meet each patient’s unique needs. Even in patients who do not have diabetes, metabolic surgery can provide dramatic results, including weight loss and resultant increased life expectancy and quality of life.
