Our Approach To Weight Loss Surgery

The decision to have weight loss surgery is a tough one. We understand that you have questions and excitement about how it will impact your life. We are here for you at Angeles Health, and can answer any questions you may have.

Angeles Health is Mexico’s largest private hospital network with 22 hospitals, over 2,000 doctors, and medical specialist across the country. As a multi-disciplinary hospital network, we treat weight loss surgery as a serious, in-patient procedure and have a dedicated weight loss surgery center to ensure your treatment is managed effectively.

Our Four Stage Process:

1. Pre-Surgery

You will need to complete a thorough weight loss medical questionnaire which helps us ascertain if you are suitable for the surgery. You will also get a free consultation with your doctor.  Prior to the surgery you will also need to complete a psychological review to ensure you are mentally prepared and suitable for the procedure.

2. The Procedure

Your procedure will be completed by Dr. Juan Lopez Corvola, one of the top ten weight-loss surgeons in the world. He has performed more than 5,000 laparoscopic surgeries, of which 1,500 were gastric band surgeries. He currently is a staff member at Hospital Angeles, Tijuana. Dr. Corvola is supported by a team of doctors including a nutritional specialist.

3. After Care in the Hospital

After the procedure you will be treated as an in patient in a private hospital room. Additionally, your surgeon will check on you regularly to make sure that the procedure has gone as expected. You will also spend time with the nutritional specialists who will talk you through the dietary requirements and aftercare. You will be given full aftercare documentation before you are discharged from the hospital.

4. After care at home

Once you are signed off as ‘fit to fly’ home, your care doesn’t stop there. We are committed to continuing to support you and provide advice to you as part of our free 12 month follow up program.

Your dedicated case manager will also be with you through the whole process and is here to address any questions you may have. Just get in touch today – we are here to help.
