Biography

Dr. Edgar Serrano is a board-certified bariatric and metabolic surgeon specializing in advanced minimally invasive weight-loss surgery for patients traveling from the United States to Mexico. Through Serenity Surgery Planner, patients are guided through a structured and medically supervised cross-border surgical program designed to prioritize safety, transparency, and long-term metabolic health.

Obesity is treated as a chronic metabolic disease — not a cosmetic condition.

Each patient undergoes:

  • Comprehensive medical evaluation
  • Nutritional assessment
  • Laboratory risk stratification
  • Psychological clearance when indicated
  • Structured preoperative preparation

Surgical candidacy is determined based on medical criteria. Not all patients qualify. Ethical patient selection is central to safety and outcomes.

Dr. Serrano's approach integrates evidence-based bariatric protocols, enhanced recovery pathways, and advanced laparoscopic techniques.
