Dr. Gilberto Ungson

License Number: 0023501

Board-certified Bariatric Surgeon.

“As one of Mexico’s experienced bariatric surgeons, I’m grateful to have over 30 years of experience helping thousands of patients overcome obesity and improve their lives. I’ve had the chance to pioneer advanced techniques like the “duodenal switch” and “single anastomosis gastric bypass,” which have made a real impact in the field. One of the most recent innovations, the SADI-S (Single Anastomosis Duodenal-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy), is now endorsed by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, and I’m excited to bring this option to my patients as well.”
