Bariatric surgery is a specialized medical treatment that helps people who are obese or severely overweight lose weight safely and sustainably. It is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but rather a set of techniques and procedures tailored to each patient based on their body mass index (BMI), medical history, and personal goals.
At our clinic, we offer different weight loss surgery options designed to improve your metabolic health, reduce associated diseases (such as type 2 diabetes or sleep apnea), and enhance your quality of life.

Dr. Jesús Lago explains bariatric surgery
Yes. Bariatric surgery is a safe procedure when performed by specialized professionals with proper follow-up. Like any medical procedure, it carries risks, but these are greatly reduced with proper preoperative evaluation and postoperative follow-up.
Long-term results depend largely on the patient’s commitment to changing their eating habits and following medical advice. Although most patients maintain their weight loss, it is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle to avoid weight regain.
Recovery varies depending on the type of procedure. Some allow you to resume your normal routine within 1-2 days. In other cases, such as gastric bypass or duodenal switch, full recovery can take between 2 and 4 weeks.
Yes. Many women experience improvements in fertility after losing weight. However, it is recommended to wait 12 to 18 months after surgery before trying to conceive, to ensure adequate nutrition and a stable weight.
In many cases, yes. Techniques such as gastric bypass or SADI-S have shown complete remission or significant improvement in type 2 diabetes, as well as other obesity-related diseases. The effect depends on the patient’s previous state of health and adherence to treatment.
The technique is chosen together with the medical team after a comprehensive assessment. Your BMI, medical history, habits, associated diseases, and personal preferences are taken into account to recommend the safest and most effective option for you.
There are revision procedures such as SADI-S or duodenal switch, which are indicated for patients who have not achieved the desired result with previous surgeries. Our team can study your case and propose a new surgical strategy if necessary.
