Dra.Itzel Fernandez

Dr Itzel Fernández is a specialist in bariatric and weight loss surgery in Mexico City, dedicated to providing comprehensive solutions to obesity and associated illnesses for local and international patients.

Obesity is measured in body fat percentage whereas ‘overweight’ simply means weighing too much for your height. Being obese increases your risk of heart disease, arthritis, stroke and diabetes and generally occurs when more calories are consumed than are burned up. There are other factors which may affect your weight and BMI which include: physical inactivity, genetic makeup, consuming high-fat foods and general overeating.

Dr Fernández is a graduate of University of Guadalajara in 2004 and undertook specialist training in obesity and digestive surgery in Europe. She has since gone on to practise, teach and lecture all over the world and is considered a leader in her field of obesity management.

Dr Fernández has expertise across the range of weight loss surgery procedures, including gastric balloon, gastric sleeve, gastric band and gastric bypass, as well as other abdominal surgeries such as abdominal hernia, cholecystectomy, appendectomy and colon surgery.

She is a principal surgeon at Obesity Solutions in Mexico City, aiming to become the weight-loss leaders in Mexico and welcoming clients from abroad to state-of-the-art facilities.
