Ideas About Gastric Bypass you should rethink
- You don’t choose the type of surgery: The specialist selects the surgical procedure and explains why it is the most suitable for you.
- Testimonials: Don’t assume that the success stories of others who recommend gastric bypass will apply to you. It worked for them, but that doesn’t guarantee the same outcome in your case.
- Add to your Guiavital surgical package a surgeon with over 20 years of experience, and ensure an effective and ultra-safe medical journey in Colombia.

Why Don’t You Need to Know Everything About Gastric Bypass?
- Don’t wear yourself out: If gastric bypass is the best option for you, you only need to understand how it fits your clinical case. Why learn everything about sleeve surgery if it’s not suitable for you?
- Be convinced: The answers you truly need about gastric bypass will NEVER be found on the internet—they are only available during your consultation with the surgeon.
- With Guiavital, you’ve found the surgical package that includes a top-tier bariatric surgeon — offering you the highest chance of success. Now it’s time to get informed, plan your journey to Colombia, and let us help you every step of the way.

El artículo del Daily Telegraph titulado "My doctor is on TikTok – should I trust them?
That well-known Australian newspaper supports our position.
Over nearly two decades of observation, we’ve identified a clear pattern: surgeons who are still building their experience are often the most visible on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok.
In contrast, their mentors—senior surgeons with more than 20 years of experience—tend to stay out of the spotlight. They know that the patients who value their extensive case history also understand that in their hands, the risk of complications is lower and the chances of success are higher. But for those unfamiliar with them, social media often becomes the only place to start their search.
An article published by the Daily Telegraph, titled “My doctor is on TikTok – should I trust them?”, reveals:
High prevalence of misinformation on social media: A global study found that up to 40% of medical posts about diseases and 43% about vaccines contain false or misleading information. This makes social media a risky place to seek serious and trustworthy medical advice.
Questionable motivations of “TikTok Docs”: Some doctors on social media are more focused on growing their followers than providing evidence-based medical guidance—posing a serious risk for patients who trust their advice blindly. Read the article ...
For all these reasons, we believe that if Guiavital can bring together this select group of expert surgeons, your best decision is to start with a professional consultation to verify everything directly—and take a step away from the noise of social media..

Gastric Bypass vs. Sleeve Gastrectomy: Which Is Better?
There is no one-size-fits-all diagnosis, and each patient must receive a personalized evaluation to determine the most suitable option.
Advantages and Limitations of Each Procedure
- Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve)
- Only restricts stomach volume, which limits food intake.
- Risk of weight regain: If the patient overeats, the stomach may stretch, leading to weight regain over time.
- Less complex than gastric bypass but does not affect carbohydrate absorption.
- Gastric Bypass
- Restricts food intake and blocks absorption of a significant percentage of carbohydrates and fats.
- More effective in the long term, especially for patients with poor control over their eating habits.
- Requires more advanced surgical skills, as it is more complex than the sleeve.
Key Takeaway
While gastric bypass offers greater long-term benefits, both procedures can fail if the patient does not adhere to lifestyle changes and follow medical advice.
Ultimately, the success of either surgery depends on the patient’s commitment to adopting healthier habits after the procedure.
