Robotic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is offered at Dr. Núñez Santana – Centro de Obesidad in Santo Domingo and Santiago, Dominican Republic. The surgery uses the Da Vinci system, which gives the surgeon 3D views and control from a console.
Dr. Yangel Daniel Núñez Santana is a board-certified weight-loss surgeon with over 10 years of experience. He personally controls the Da Vinci robotic system during surgery.
Through small incisions, the surgeon makes a small pouch at the top of the stomach. The small intestine is then rerouted. This limits food intake and reduces calorie and nutrient absorption.
The procedure may suit people with a BMI of 40 or higher, or those at least 100 pounds overweight. People with a BMI of 35 or higher may also qualify if they have a related condition, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea.
Reported weight loss is 10–35% of total body weight within 2–3 years. The surgery may also improve type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. Some patients need fewer medicines over time.
The international package includes preoperative exams, hospital costs, postoperative medication, nutritional follow-up, and daily home care. It also offers preferred rates at five-star hotels.
Follow-up includes metabolic checks, nutrition planning, and emotional support from a multidisciplinary team. The center has a Bariatric Certified designation and a team of 7 doctors.

The clinic treats patients with severe obesity and related health conditions. Eligible candidates include those with a BMI of 40 or higher. Patients with a BMI of 35 who have comorbidities like type II diabetes or hypertension also qualify. The team offers several intervention levels:

For non-surgical patients, the clinic uses the Allurion Virtual Care Suite. This digital platform connects to tracking devices for real-time monitoring. The medical team follows patient progress throughout the 16-week balloon therapy. During endoscopic sleeve procedures, specialists use a dedicated suturing device and internal cameras to reshape the stomach.
