Who is the Best Bariatric Surgeon in Colombia?
Assuming the best bariatric surgeon in Colombia is the top result on Google or the most visible on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok can be misleading. Online, all surgeons may appear similar, but the best surgeon isn’t the one who spends the most on marketing—it’s the one with the most EXPERIENCE. Here, we explain how to identify them.
We know it’s very common for the most experienced bariatric surgeon to no longer focus on social media visibility.
What Is the Most Important Factor in Choosing the Right Bariatric Surgeon?
Undoubtedly, EXPERIENCE is the key factor. In 2005, when bariatric surgery was just beginning to gain traction in Latin America, Colombia already had solid data to showcase. At that time, we started identifying bariatric surgeons in the country’s five major cities who had already operated on a considerable number of patients.
Today, more than 18 years later, we continue to entrust our patients to these same surgeons. The reason is simple: they now have more than 5,000—and in some cases, over 10,000—bariatric surgeries completed.
En conclusión
The best bariatric surgeon in Colombia is, in reality, the one with the most EXPERIENCE. However, if you don’t know the right questions to ask to properly assess experience, you may struggle to find certainty. It’s our duty to help you make the right choice. Just contact us…
Frequently Asked Questions About Bariatric Surgery
In bariatric surgery, a surgeon’s case volume refers to the number and variety of cases they have handled throughout their career. This concept is essential for patients considering weight-loss surgery because a surgeon with extensive case volume has gained experience across various bariatric procedures, such as gastric bypass or gastric sleeve, and has treated patients with different conditions and complexities.
The higher a bariatric surgeon’s case volume, the more likely they are to have encountered and successfully managed complications, reducing risks for the patient and improving long-term outcomes. For this reason, choosing a surgeon with a high case volume is a key factor in ensuring a safe and successful bariatric surgery.
The bariatric surgeons who have treated our patients have consistently demonstrated high case volumes. Choose your surgeon in the city where you wish to undergo surgery:
