Bariatric surgery

This guide gathers the bariatric surgeons and centers listed on Google Maps in Santiago de los Caballeros and Santo Domingo. Each city has its own list with local text, frequently asked questions and the contact details each professional publishes.

Bariatric surgery is the surgical treatment of obesity. According to a surgeon interviewed by elCaribe, the gastric sleeve is the most common procedure in the country; the gastric bypass is somewhat more complex. There is also the intragastric balloon, which is placed endoscopically. Which procedure suits each person is decided by the medical team after an evaluation: this directory does not recommend procedures or doctors.

These operations require prior tests and nutritional and medical follow-up afterwards. Always ask which team will accompany you and what the follow-up includes.
