Bariatric Surgery in Costa Rica

In Costa Rica we offer three options for bariatric surgery. The most popular ones are gastric bypass, gastric band and sleeve gastrectomy.

Bariatric surgery is intended for people with morbid obesity (people who are 100 pounds or more overweight).

Gastric Bypass is the most commonly performed operation for weight loss surgery in Costa Rica and in the United States.

Gastric Band is a weight loss surgery procedure that creates a smaller stomach pouch by stapling off a section of the stomach, then using a band to restrict the passage of food out of the pouch.

Sleeve Gastrectomy is a procedure that consists in performing a subtotal resection of the stomach or a subtotal gastrectomy.

Bariatric surgery is a life-altering decision — one of the most important decisions a person will ever make. With that in mind, we will assist you with all the options we offer for bariatic surgery, and wich one is the best choice for you.
