In recent years obesity has become a serious problem of public health. This condition is characterized by excess fat and several factors influence its development.

A person is considered to have a morbid obesity condition when he or she weights 70% more of his/her ideal body weight.

The main consequences of obesity are:

The Bariatric surgery or commonly known as weight loss surgery is an option offered at Natural Belle to treat obesity. Surgeons at Natural Belle offer a type bariatric surgery that is highly effective and offers excellent and tested results with minimal surgical risks.

Obesity depends on many different factors and each case should be analyzed before deciding what is the best plastic surgery option for each patient. Our surgeon will evaluate each patient in order to determine what type of weight loss surgery is best for him/her.

When deciding where to perform the bariatric surgery patients should consider the following requisites for an adequate procedure.

At Natural Belle we offer our patients two types of bariatric surgery. We believe these two types provide the best results and are also the safest.

The first type is the gastric balloon. The surgeon performs an endoscopy to place a soft, expandable balloon that once in the stomach is inflated with sterile saline. This balloon generates a feeling of fullness which diminishes the feeling of hunger.   

This type of bariatric surgery lasts for an average of 10 months, after this time the balloon is removed via an endoscopy. The period, in which the balloon remains on the stomach, the patient feels full quickly and creates better nutrition habits. This allows the patient to loose weight successfully.

This type of bariatric surgery is ideal for patients with a mild or severe obesity who can not perform any other type of surgical procedure.

The second type of surgery is the gastric SURSET. This type of weight loss surgery is a new surgical alternative also known as gastric threads.  The following are the benefits of this surgery:

The patient can reverse the surgery whenever he wants or he can live with it indefinitely. Since this type of surgery has very low risks it is ideal for both adolescents and elders.
