Service Description

Transit Bipartition (TB) is a metabolic and bariatric surgery designed to help patients achieve significant weight loss and improved metabolic health, particularly for obesity and type 2 diabetes. Unlike traditional gastric bypass procedures: - Pylorus-preserving: Maintains normal gastric emptying, reducing dumping syndrome risk - Dual pathway food transit: Part of the food passes through the normal digestive route, and part bypasses the proximal small intestine, improving satiety, glycemic control, and hormone response - Metabolic benefits: Enhances insulin sensitivity, incretin response (GLP-1, PYY), and overall glucose metabolism Who is a Candidate? - Obesity patients (BMI ≥ 30–40) seeking effective long-term weight management - Individuals with type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome not optimally controlled with medication - Patients who have failed prior weight loss attempts - Patients seeking a surgical option that balances weight loss with nutrient absorption Benefits of Transit Bipartition - Significant Weight Loss: Comparable to traditional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with lower malnutrition risk - Improved Metabolic Control: Many patients experience remission or improvement of type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related comorbidities - Preserves Normal Digestion: Pylorus preservation reduces dumping syndrome and nutrient deficiencies - Fewer Complications: Shorter operative time and fewer anastomoses than more complex bypass procedures - Hormonal Improvements: Enhances gut hormone release (GLP-1, PYY), improving satiety and glycemic regulation Why Choose Hermes Health Hub for Transit Bipartition? - US-to-Mexico Coordination: We connect you with board-certified surgeons in Tijuana experienced in TB surgery - Personalized Care: Guidance from consultation to post-op follow-up - All-Inclusive Packages: Surgery, travel, lodging, and post-op logistics handled seamlessly - Patient-Centered Approach: Focused on safety, effectiveness, and life-changing results - Educational Support: Patients receive detailed pre-op and post-op instructions, nutritional guidance, and follow-up monitoring What to Expect Before and After Surgery Pre-Operative: - Medical evaluation, lab tests, and imaging - Nutritional and psychological assessment Personalized travel and surgery scheduling Post-Operative: - Hospital stay of 1–3 days (depending) - Gradual diet progression: liquid → soft → solid foods - Regular follow-up with surgeons and dietitians
