Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why surgery instead of injectable medications?

What gives me the best chance of success?

A clear understanding of the surgery, commitment to lifestyle change, and a multidisciplinary team.

I live outside Mexico. What do I need to do?

Schedule a virtual consultation. Dr. Stefano will design a safe, efficient plan.

Will I never enjoy food again?

Your relationship with food changes for the better. Flavors become more intense; you feel satisfied with less.

How important is exercise after surgery?

It is essential. Physical activity is the single most important factor in avoiding long-term weight regain.
