Gastric Sleeve
Gastric Sleeve in Tijuana, Mexico
A Gastric Sleeve, also known as Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, is a minimally-invasive surgery performed on the stomach. This 1-2 hour weight-loss procedure consists of making the stomach into a long tube, or “sleeve”, by removing two-thirds of the stomach which delivers quicker and more prolonged satiety (sense of fullness) and decreased appetite. The smaller stomach pouch restricts food intake by allowing only a limited amount of food to be eaten at one time.
This is a popular weight loss surgery in Mexico because it is designed to help you by eliminating your desire to eat as much or as often. Gastric Sleeve surgery in Tijuana is a simpler procedure to perform than Gastric Bypass, resulting in lower complications and faster recovery times. Another benefit of this surgery is that your stomach will continue to function normally, and as a result, you can still eat most of your favorite foods with no worries about suffering from dumping syndrome.
The procedure has two mechanisms of action:
- Restrictive: Removing 70-80% of the stomach vertically.
- Metabolic: Removing the part of the stomach that produces the hunger hormone, which stimulates appetite.

Lisa Bearden
The people at Trevita were the absolute best! I did not feel uncomfortable due to language barriers or any other part of our visit! Dr. Sandy was so down to earth and easy to talk to. She helped my mom get her meal from Uber Eats. Enrique and Fernanda were also very helpful with information and patient care. The hotel was great and we took advantage of the massage services at the hotel. I would recommend Trevita to anyone considering this journey.
Lizzy Cambell
I had my gastric bypass on 10/10 and I’m already down 35 pounds. When I arrived I was met at the airport by a wonderful lady who took care of our bags and took up to the Quartz hotel. The hotel was beautiful and the staff was super nice and accommodating. The medical facility was as nice as anything in the states and the nurses were always on top of when you needed to take medications. Dr. Sandy was amazing and answered all my questions before I made my decision to go with them to a week after. The Trevita team was really great. Most of people there spoke perfect English and if not there was Google translate. We felt safe around the areas for my support person to go get Tacos or go to the grocery store near by. They also sent us home with medications that were needed back in the states for som much cheaper.My only regret is not doing this sooner.
