SADI-S surgery information and locations in Mexico

The SADI-S surgery combines both gastric sleeve and bypass techniques, reducing the size of the stomach and altering the path of the small intestine. This procedure is performed laparoscopically, making it less invasive, and promotes weight loss by limiting the absorption of calories and nutrients.
SADI-S or Single Anastomosis Duodenal-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy stands out for having only one connection between the stomach and the small intestine. Compared to the gastric sleeve and duodenal switch, this procedure results in greater weight loss and better control of metabolic diseases.

The procedure involves reducing the size of the stomach by creating a gastric sleeve. After this reduction, a bypass is performed by connecting the first part of the small intestine to its final section. By decreasing the stomach’s volume, the amount of food, calories, and nutrients the body can absorb is limited, which supports weight loss. This type of surgery is particularly recommended for individuals with severe obesity and has also proven effective in managing type 2 diabetes.
