What is Gastric Sleeve Dominican Republic?
The Gastric Sleeve Dominican Republic Surgery (also known as the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy) is a bariatric treatment that involves the removal of 75-80% of the stomach. It is now the most popular bariatric procedure in the Dominican Republic and around the world. Within one year of surgery, patients can anticipate to lose 60-70 percent of their excess weight, as well as remission or improvement of obesity-related health issues such as:
- Diabetes mellitus type II
- Hypertension
- Sleep apnea
- Fatty liver disease
- Joint pain
- and Hyperlipidemia
At Obesidad y Bariátrica , the Gastric Sleeve Dominican Republic success rate is around 80-90 percent with lifestyle adjustments. Because of the decrease in gastric capacity and ghrelin (hunger hormone) production, patients have less of a desire to eat. Patients report feeling less hungry in the majority of cases, but not all of them.

What Our Patients Say
“For me Doctor Pablo García is an excellent doctor and human being. You feel full confidence once you enter his consultation, he asks you and is interested in how you feel, he explains what procedure is convenient for you and the entire process and protocol that must be followed. A spectacular follow-up team. Today it is 4 months since my surgery and I feel very happy and more than satisfied with this process of having a healthier and happier lifestyle.”
“I decided to put in the hands of Dr. Pablo Garcia one of the most important decisions of my life and every day I thank God for how wonderful my process has been, from the pre-operative period and the logistics to see each of the specialists, all from the hand of Dr. Rivera, Estrella, Loren and Noelia. Today, 12 days after my gastric sleeve surgery, I can say that, to my surprise, I have never felt pain. With Dr. Pablo, I got rid of all my doubts related to surgery and I have learned a lot about obesity. Thank you doctor for sharing so much knowledge on his IG, for offering so many details, and for showing us a live surgery. Dr. Pablo Gracia is a tremendous professional.”
“I loved my experience with Dr Pablo Garcia. Very friendly and professional, the attention of him and his team were exceptional. Very different from what I am used to here in the Dominican Republic. I have been post-op for 6 months now and everything is going very well and I am delighted with the results. I recommend it 100% especially to patients who arrive outside the country since they give you the attention and guidance necessary so that you can understand the entire procedure and feel confident. I also recommend his book I AM MORE THAN MY BALANCE. I read it in 3 days, I couldn’t stop reading, it guides you to understand obesity and to overcome it long before surgery. It will literally change your life.”
