Factors That Affect Your Candidacy for Gastric Bypass Surgery
The best way to determine your candidacy is to contact our Tijuana practice. Our trained medical staff will discuss your health history and weight loss goals to determine if gastric bypass or another bariatric surgery like a gastric sleeve would be best for you.
Some factors to consider are:
BMI
Patients seeking this weight loss surgery typically have a BMI greater than 40. You may be better suited for another bariatric surgery if your BMI is under 40.
Health
Though good candidates may be dealing with obesity-related health issues like type II diabetes or GERD, to minimize the risk of complications during the bariatric procedure they should otherwise be in decent overall health.
Commitment
A gastric bypass gives you the tools to kickstart your weight loss journey. However, you will need to maintain a healthy diet and active lifestyle to experience the lasting benefits of weight loss.

How Gastric Bypass Surgery can Help You Lose Weight
Unlike some other weight loss surgeries, a gastric bypass helps you lose weight in three ways.
Unlike gastric sleeve surgery, which only shrinks the size of your stomach, a gastric bypass shrinks your stomach and bypasses the majority of your small intestine.

Gastric Sleeve v. Gastric Bypass What Is the Difference?
Gastric bypass and gastric sleeve surgery are two of the most commonly performed bariatric surgeries. Dr. Carlos can determine which procedure is right for you based on your health history and weight loss goals.
Gastric sleeve surgery is similar to gastric bypass in that it shrinks the size of your stomach. Unlike gastric bypass, this is where the gastric sleeve procedure stops. A gastric sleeve only reduces the amount you eat; it does not reduce the number of calories absorbed by the small intestine.
