About me

I am Dr. Mónica Restrepo Moreno, an Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeon at Clínica CES and a university lecturer with 18 years of experience in the comprehensive treatment of obesity.

I specialized in bariatric surgery because I deeply believe that obesity is a chronic disease that deserves the same scientific rigor and compassion as any other medical condition. I don't judge; I support.

I perform procedures such as gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, intragastric balloon, and bariatric revisions, always with a multidisciplinary approach that includes a nutritionist, psychologist, and internal medicine specialist.

I am a member of the Colombian Association of Surgery (ACS) and hold certification in advanced laparoscopic surgery. I offer financing options so that cost doesn't become a barrier to your health.

Frequently asked

Who is a candidate for bariatric surgery?
Generally, individuals with a BMI greater than 40, or greater than 35 with comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea. Individual cases are also evaluated. The process includes a multidisciplinary preoperative assessment.
How long does it take to recover from a gastric sleeve?
Hospitalization typically lasts 2 to 3 days. You can return to light activities in 1 to 2 weeks. Full recovery is usually 4 to 6 weeks. Most patients resume their normal lives with significant improvement in their quality of life.
Do you offer financing options?
Yes, we work with financial institutions and payment plans to ensure the procedure's cost is not an obstacle. During your initial consultation, I will inform you of all available options.
