• 2-night hospital stay and 1-night hotel stay for gastric bypass

What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?

• Gastric bypass is a bariatric procedure which involves dividing the stomach into a small upper pouch and a bigger lower pouch.
• The small intestine is then re-arranged to connect to both the pouches.
• By doing so, the food eaten bypasses parts of the stomach and the small intestine resulting in absorption of fewer calories.
• Some of the other names of the procedure are RNY, Roux-en-Y, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and GBP.
• Average length of hospital stay is about 2-3 nights.
• To qualify for Roux-en-Y bypass in Mexico with MTC, your Body Mass Index (BMI) needs to be over 35 (with some exceptions for a lower BMI).
• Please note that only the doctor can decide whether a candidate qualifies for gastric bypass or not after examining his/her medical questionnaire.

We also arrange for mini gastric bypass, a less complicated version of a traditional bypass, across major hospitals in Mexico.
