Dr Carlos Altamirano in his YouTube Channel explaining this complex disease and why is so difficult to fight it

Dr Altamirano explaining the complexity of obesity and why we should consider it a disease and not just a pre-condition.

There's a lot of physiological changes when we gain weight and modify our "SET POINT" for the amount of fat our bodies have. So we can either FIGHT OUR METABOLISM or CONVINCE OUR BODY that we don't need that much fat.

​This video shows how a sleeve Gastrectomy is calibrated. I always do ir THE SMALLEST CALIBER POSSIBLE that stills let you eat and drink without problems. The percentage we remove is close to 80% but the gastric capacity will vary depending on the length of the stomach that is different in every patient. Some Patients will be able to drink 3oz and some 5oz since the length is different but I can't make the caliber smaller

​This video talks about patients needing a second weight loss surgery. When is really needed and how the patient needs to be prepared before even considering having a revision surgery

​Since this is a POWERFUL METABOLIC SURGERY, lots of hormones will change that will improve your physiology. Female hormones are not the exception and this video explains why some women will have heavy bleeding or 2-3 periods in the same month after WLS

​If you're looking into a Lap band to sleeve revision please watch this video and try not to be scared (just kidding). This is a complex revision but lots of patients doesn't have this much scar tissue so the surgery is not this messy. I choose this one so people can measure the possible risks and how difficult this revision could be and why they need to choose someone experienced in this kind of revisions.

​This is a Sleeve to Mini Gastric Bypass revision that I consider to be less complicated than the lap band revision in most cases. All of this patients had ZERO follow up from their doctors and were never informed about how the VSG is a metabolic tool that you as a patient need to learn how to use. This is the main reason why I invest MOST OF MY DAY in teaching my patients how to use this AMAZING TOOL!

Dr Altamirano is going to take you through the process of understanding the problem, knowing the arsenal we have to fight it, and help you choose the option that’s best for you.
