About Us
We are a group of professionals with consolidated management of obesity through endoscopic procedures and multidisciplinary management. Due to the increase in the volume and interest of foreigners, we have decided to create this program with the same quality and follow-up that have characterized us but at an affordable price for foreigners.
why bariatric endoscopy?
Bariatric endoscopy encompasses innovative, minimally invasive methods without surgery. They are performed through the mouth.
These procedures are performed in select specialized centers as in the case of ours.
It includes procedures such as intragastric balloon, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, and procedures for patients who have previously undergone bariatric surgery and present weight gain.
In recent years there has been a worldwide boom in this type of approach, since it allows addressing a complex problem such as obesity from a less invasive and more accessible option. In addition to having approval by the FDA for the management of obesity both as primary treatment and for cases of weight gain.

why glp-1 drugs?
This type of drugs has become increasingly known for its effectiveness in weight reduction. Within these we find drugs such as Saxenda. Its mechanism of action is focused on reducing hunger and increasing satiety in the patient. With this, by associating it with an endoscopic procedure, multiple studies have been carried out where it has been possible to determine the success of this dual therapy management. These drugs are approved by the FDA for this use, unfortunately in some countries their cost is very high, reaching prices of $1,349 USD per month.
Why the multidisciplinary team?
The patient will be accompanied for 8 months by the multidisciplinary team made up of a doctor, nutritionist and psychologist. This is done because statistically the evolution of the patients is much more favorable and better results are achieved when they are approached and accompanied by a multidisciplinary team. Apart from this, doubts and concerns may arise throughout this process, which can be easily resolved by professionals with experience in this type of management.
