Struggling to choose between the minimally invasive technique of a restrictive surgery and the quick results from a malabsorptive procedure?

Learn more about how Tijuana Bariatrics in Tijuana, Mexico, can help patients achieve their wellness goals.
An Innovation in Bariatric Surgery
SADI-S Surgery in Tijuana
The most widely accepted bariatric surgeries due to their success are restrictive surgeries (such as gastric sleeve) and malabsorptive surgeries (such as gastric bypass). Wouldn’t it be fantastic to have a combination of the two? Here is the good news: now it is possible! Let’s take a look at more widely used procedures and how they compare to Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy (SADI-S).
SADI-S offers patients a long-term weight-loss solution that can significantly improve their wellbeing. Nearly anyone who has struggled with obesity and has been unsuccessful in losing weight and keeping it off can benefit from this incredible procedure offered by the bariatric surgeons working alongside Tijuana Bariatrics in Tijuana, Mexico. To begin the journey towards a new life, reach out to our bariatric surgery office in Tijuana, Mexico, today.
Why Should I Consider
the SADI-S Bariatric Procedure?
Though some patients might find procedures like a gastric sleeve or gastric bypass are better suited to their needs,
SADI-S from Tijuana Bariatrics in Tijuana, Mexico, provides a number of advantages, including:
Rapid Weight Loss
Patients can enjoy the satisfaction of losing significant weight during the first year following surgery. According to Obesity Surgery, a peer-reviewed journal, patients lost 94.7% of excess weight after one year and continued to maintain weight loss in the following years.
Greater Metabolic Benefit
The results of SADI-S weight loss surgery on diabetic patients are simply incredible. Data shows that glucose levels in all diabetic patients normalized after just six months and they could stop anti-diabetic therapy. Metabolic disorders like hypertension and high cholesterol also improved.
Quick Recovery
Patients who undergo SADI-S patients experience a speedy recovery. Following weight-loss surgery, patients can expect to spend no more than two days in the hospital. Many patients can return to work in as little as one week after they return home from their bariatric surgery.

Who Is a Good Candidate
for SADI-S Weight Loss Surgery?
SADI-S has proven to be an effective solution to obesity and its negative effects on patients’ health. It is also a good option for those who have undergone a restrictive bariatric procedure and have had trouble with keeping the weight off. Generally, good candidates of SADI-S include:
BMI of 50 and Over
Obesity-related diseases including hypertension, high fasting plasma glucose, and a high body mass index are considered three out of the four biggest global health threats today (smoking is the fourth). In the United States, more than one-quarter of patients interested in bariatric surgery are super obese. The prevalence of comorbidities in those with a BMI greater than 50 includes a significant increase in cardiovascular mortality. SADI-S can help patients with super obesity reduce these associated risks.
Previous Bariatric Surgery
Patients who have undergone options like gastric sleeve or gastric band surgery in the past who failed to shed excess weight can benefit from SADI-S revision surgery. Similarly, patients who lost weight initially but then regained substantial weight after gastric band or gastric sleeve surgery can benefit from SADI-S revision surgery. Unfortunately, since this method uses a similar malabsorption method, patients who have received a duodenal switch are not eligible for this procedure.
Calculate Your BMI
Knowing your body mass index will help you know if you suffer from any type of obesity and will help us know how to treat you.
BMI
BMI Chart
Weight loss surgery is typically recommended to patients with body mass indexes (BMI) between 30 and 60. As patients with very high BMIs may worry that they are disqualified from bariatric surgery. However, the surgeons affiliated with Tijuana Bariatrics have performed weight loss procedures for patients with BMIs of 70 and higher.

Frequently Asked Questions
About SADI-S Surgery
How long does the surgery take?
Since SADI-S is a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure, the surgery only takes between 90 and 120 minutes to perform. Following surgery, patients spend an additional half-hour to an hour in the recovery room. Patients can begin walking around the premises after about four hours.
How long is the hospital stay?
During the next two nights, patients will be monitored in the hospital facilities by their surgeons, general doctors, and nutritionists. These medical professionals will advise the patient on the proper aftercare and new diet, and provide information about the tests required for follow-up treatment.
What is life like after surgery?
Immediately after the procedure, patients will experience a significant decrease in their appetite. This is due to a reduction in the ghrelin hormone which is responsible for making a person feel hungry. Over the following weeks and months, patients should experience the satisfaction of massive weight loss. Blood sugar levels should normalize in about six months. With the proper care, patients can enjoy life-long weight loss and a more active lifestyle.
