The Three Pillars of Our Program
Our program is built on three foundational pillars, proven to maximize your success in the weight loss journey.
Surgical expertise and options
Metabolic and bariatric surgery can be a powerful tool to kickstart your weight loss journey. Dr. Beltre offers a range of advanced surgical options:
- Gastric sleeve: This is the most popular weight loss procedure worldwide. We reduce the stomach by removing 75 to 80% of it, including the fundus (the part that stretches and produces the hunger hormone Ghrelin). Most patients return to work in one week or less.
- Gastric bypass: One of the first weight loss procedures invented in the 1960s, now a common and effective option. We create a small pouch and connect it to the small intestines, bypassing the upper part of the small intestines. This procedure gives you good portion and appetite control with a robust metabolic hormone release.
- SADI-S (Duodenal Switch): A combination of the gastric sleeve with a more robust intestinal bypass. This surgery combines portion control with malabsorption and is suitable for patients who failed the gastric sleeve or patients with significant obesity.
Nutritional guidance and support
Our certified nutritionist provides personalized guidance and support to help you develop healthy eating habits that will sustain your weight loss success. We offer the following.
- Individualized meal plans: Tailored to your specific needs and preferences.
- Education on healthy eating: Learn how to make smart food choices and manage cravings.
- Ongoing support: Our nutritionist will work with you to address challenges and celebrate your successes.
Comprehensive aftercare
Long-term success requires continuous care. That’s why our comprehensive aftercare program includes these critical foundations.
- Monthly follow-up appointments: Monitor your progress, address any concerns, and receive ongoing support from Dr. Beltre and our team.
- Support group meetings: Connect with other patients, share experiences, and learn from each other’s journeys.
- Access to resources: We provide the tools and resources you need to stay motivated and on track.
