Procedures for every stage of your journey

Every patient is different. During your consultation, Dr. Escoto reviews your history, weight, and goals to recommend the safest and most effective option for you.

How much weight could you lose?

Enter your current weight to see an approximate estimate of weight loss with each option, based on averages from the medical literature.

OptionApprox. lossWeight you could loseWeight you could reach
Gastric Sleeve25–30%
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass30–35%
One-anastomosis bypass (OAGB)33–38%

SASI bypass30–38%

Revision surgery is evaluated on an individual basis and is therefore not included in this estimate.

These figures are approximate averages based on the medical literature, generally at 12–24 months. Results are individual and depend on your starting point, the procedure, and your adherence to follow-up. Only a medical evaluation can give you a real estimate for your case.

Tool

Calculate your Body Mass Index

BMI relates your weight to your height and is a first reference to know where you stand. It's only a starting point: a medical evaluation determines the best path for you.

Enter a valid weight and height to continue.

Bariatric surgery is generally considered from a BMI of 35 with associated conditions, or 40. Only a medical evaluation can confirm whether you are a candidate.

BMI is a reference tool, not a diagnosis. It does not distinguish muscle from fat and does not consider your medical history. Always consult a healthcare professional.
