Procedures Performed
Dr. Cueva specializes in a range of weight loss surgery options, with a primary focus on gastric sleeve surgery. This transformative procedure, which enabled him to shed an impressive 60 pounds, involves a remarkable process that not only reduces the size of the stomach but also acts as a powerful tool in promoting weight loss. Here’s what this journey typically entails for patients:
A surgery that involves removing up to 70% of the stomach through small, minimally invasive incisions in the abdomen. It's like sculpting a new you.
The remaining stomach is ingeniously tailored to be roughly the size of a banana. This serves a dual purpose: it curtails the amount of food you can consume while also helping to rein in your appetite. It's a secret weapon for effective weight management.
Ideal for individuals whose BMI falls within the range of 35 to 40 and beyond, this surgery is tailored to address your unique needs.
Typically, within the first year following this transformation, patients witness a remarkable weight loss of around 50 pounds. Additionally, there's often a significant reduction in BMI, which can be as much as 10 points. It's an inspiring journey toward a healthier you.
