Meet the Surgical Team of Bariatric Support Group
Medical Tourism Solutions is excited to announce a partnership with Bariatric Support Group (BSG) in Cartagena. With this association, North American patients now have increased access to one of the most experienced bariatric surgery groups in the world.
Bariatric Support Group is a fully inclusive organization designed to assist patients in the treatment of obesity. Experts in gastric bypass surgery, with over 3,600 successful procedures performed, BSG also includes dietary counseling and psychological assistance in their pre and post-surgical program.
When it comes to surgery, one of the biggest factors that differentiate the quality of care across the board is the experience of the surgeon. The surgical team at Bariatric Support Group consists of Doctor Felipe Chaux, senior bariatric surgeon, member of the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons (ASBS), and member of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES). Dr. Chaux specializes in bariatric surgery, performing up to 35 procedures per week.
Overseeing the whole process is Doctor Francisco Holguin, general surgeon and medical director of MediHelp Services in Cartagena. Dr. Holguin is an experienced trauma surgeon with years of experience and training in the U.S. He is also a member of the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) as well as the International Society of Surgery (ISS).
Assisting with all procedures is Doctor Abraham Ganem, bariatric surgeon. Performing a gastric bypass operation requires three surgeons, as well as an anesthesiologist. Dr. Ganem has years of experience working with Dr. Chaux in bariatric procedures.
In addition, he is a member of the American Society of Gastroenterology (ASG) and the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES).
Important to emphasize when considering a surgical procedure is the quality of the facility where the work will be performed. MediHelp Services is a full-service private hospital in Cartagena, built to cater to the needs of the international medical tourist. With fully equipped operating rooms and a state-of-the-art intensive care unit, MediHelp Services is designed for the comfort of the international healthcare patient. In addition, it is accredited by ICONTEC, and the ISO 9000:2001 certification of quality standards.
