WHAT IS THE GASTRIC BAND DOMINICAN REPUBLIC?

Gastric banding: surgical procedure that limits the amount of food intake at a time. This procedure became very popular in many countries around the world during the 90s.

Gastric Band Dominican Republic surgery is considered for people who are obese, defined as having a BMI of 30 or more with other serious health conditions that are related to obesity.

WHY THE GASTRIC BAND DOMINICAN REPUBLIC?

Why has the Gastric Band Dominican Republic become the preferred surgical method for many patients and surgeons?

It is a fast and safe procedure compared to all other methods, a safer procedure.
It can be done by laparoscopy (a large abdominal incision is not required).
The size of the internal diameter of the restriction created in your stomach can be adjusted to the course of your weight loss.
The Gastric Band Dominican Republic is completely reversible. No changes are made in the anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract.

BENEFITS FOR THE PATIENT

The most important benefits of the Gastric Band Dominican Republic procedure versus all other surgical options offered today are the following:

It is reversible, it does not require cuts, it is reconnected surgically, the intestinal tract is shortened.
It is in comparison with all other surgical options a less risky procedure (the rate of serious complications is much lower).
It provides a less drastic but stable weight loss. The total weight loss is usually achieved after 24 months. Leave all options open for other more invasive surgical options in case you do not achieve sufficient weight loss.

“Dr. Pablo Garcia and his team are the best! I felt comfortable every step of the way. The secretary Helen and Noelia are extremely helpful and they both had the gastric sleeve done before, so they can help with any questions or concerns. I’m currently 2 weeks post op and I feel amazing! I’m already 20 pounds down. (A plus: they are modern and speak English). They accommodated me to leave the country on my desire day after a post op and assuring everything was well. Helen even wrote me an excused letter IN ENGLISH for my university. It was amazing and they are very attentive through whatsapp and make themselves available even after you leave the country.”.

“I don’t ever write reviews but I have to because my experience was amazing and out of this world. From the second that I went into his office, he spoke to me in the most honest manner. He told me honestly that VSG was a great surgery for someone like me but ultimately it would be my choice. When I went into his office the first time, I just wanted information but after I saw how attentive he was, I felt comfortable to talk about my weight issues. He’s so respectful, honest, and makes me feel like a long time friend!! I had VSG on 1/10/2018. I trusted Dr. Pablo Garcia and my life has changed ever since. Thank you Dr. Garcia!!”
