BariClip With B-Clamp in Tijuana, Mexico
Are you struggling to lose weight with just diet and exercise? Are you looking for a safe and affordable way to overcome obesity?
If you are ready to lose weight and are not a candidate for traditional weight-loss surgery, BariClip with B-Clamp® might be a good option.
Our board-certified bariatric surgeons in Tijuana can expertly place your BariClip so you can overcome obesity and live a healthier life.
What Is the B-Clamp?
A REVERSIBLE SOLUTION TO WEIGHT LOSS
The B-Clamp is a titanium structure placed around your stomach wall to limit the amount of food you can consume. Unlike a gastric sleeve, no part of the stomach is removed and the procedure is reversible.
The Benefits
OF BARICLIP SURGERY
Weight Loss
Patients who undergo BariClip surgery can expect to lose on average 35% of their excess weight. BariClip gives patients the kickstart they need to live healthier lives.
Reduces Risk of GERD
BariClip decreases the amount of intragastric pressure, reducing your risk of developing postoperative gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Reversible
One of the biggest benefits of BariClip over other bariatric surgeries is that the procedure is reversible. If you no longer wish to have the clip after you reach your weight loss goals, your surgeon can easily remove it.
Less-Invasive
BariClip, like most bariatric surgeries, is done laparoscopically so you will have minimal scarring. Unlike other bariatric surgeries, BariClip does not require your stomach to be cut or your small intestine to be rerouted.
Am I a Candidate
OF BARICLIP SURGERY
BMI
You could be a good candidate for BariClip with B-Clamp if you have a body mass index (BMI) between 29 and 40. That is lower than most other bariatric surgeries, and patients with a BMI higher than 40 should consider other options.
Commitment
The B-Clamp provides you with the tools you need to kickstart your weight loss journey. For lasting results, you must be committed to leading a healthy lifestyle.
GERD
If you suffer from GERD or acid reflux, the B-Clamp might be recommended to you over other bariatric surgeries due to its ability to reduce intragastric pressure.

Are There Any Risks
TO THE BARICLIP PROCEDURE?
Slippage
Although extremely rare, there is a chance of the clamp slipping off of your stomach. This makes the procedure ineffective and will also cause issues in the rest of your body. This will need to be corrected by your bariatric surgeon as soon as possible.
Erosion
Similar to Lap-Band®, the B-Clamp can also cause erosion. This happens when your B-Clamp weakens the tissue underneath. This can lead to infections, leakage, and further complications.
Leakage
Because the titanium clamp is covered in smooth medical-grade silicone, the chance of it poking through the stomach wall is very low. You need to seek medical attention as soon as possible if a puncture does occur.
Recovery and Aftercare
Since this is a minimally invasive surgical procedure, the recovery time is fairly quick. Most patients will be able to leave the hospital the same day of their surgery and return to normal activities within 48 hours. You must follow the treatment plan of your bariatric surgeon to ensure successful results. Weight loss will happen quickly within the first year, and you must continue to exercise and eat a healthy diet to maintain your results.

How does BariClip affect weight loss?
During BariClip surgery, a large portion of the stomach is closed off. The remaining functioning pouch is much smaller and unable to hold large amounts of food giving you the feeling of being full much quicker than before.
What are the long-term effects of BariClip surgery?
Bariclip surgery is a new bariatric procedure, so not much is known yet about its long-term effects. Trials continue to be conducted as we learn more about its immediate and lasting effects. One trial was done from 2012-2016 on 117 patients. They saw 66.7% of excess weight loss with minimal adverse events. This study deemed BariClip surgery an excellent weight loss procedure with minimal complications.
