The four doctors who lead your case

Every surgical patient is evaluated by all four before the operation is scheduled. The surgeon you operate with, the obesity-medicine doctor who manages your medical track, and the team that follows you for 12 months after — that is GOG.

Our approach

Surgery is one step. The program is the work.

What sets GOG apart is not a surgical technique — three Bogotá clinics can perform a gastric sleeve. What sets us apart is the 12-month medical program built around it. Every surgical patient is seen by our nutrition team, psychology team, and physical therapy team before the operation, and again at scheduled intervals through the first year. International patients see the same team remotely via video. That is what the multidisciplinary model means at GOG — not separate appointments at separate offices, but one coordinated case file.
