Who we help

When to consider surgery

Bariatric surgery is considered when diet, exercise and medication no longer deliver lasting results, and excess weight is affecting your health. Check any signs that sound familiar — and request a doctor’s assessment.

Important to know

Severe obesity causes continuous damage to the body and raises risks to your life. If you’ve tried other ways to lose weight without success, consider a bariatric consultation. The final decision is always made by the operating doctor or a medical board — after reviewing your tests, BMI and medical history.

About bariatric surgery

What you need to know

Modern life — low activity, calorie-dense and processed food, high stress — has naturally driven an obesity epidemic worldwide. Obesity is a medical disease in which excess body fat does daily harm to the body.

 

It’s proven to raise the risk of serious conditions: heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, metabolic disorders, joint and back problems, and it also affects mental health. Thanks to modern medicine — bariatric surgery in particular — that risk can be significantly reduced.

 

Surgery is considered when conservative methods no longer help. After weight loss, many related disorders resolve or become less severe, and quality of life improves.

Goal of the surgery

Lasting weight loss

On average around 70% of excess weight is lost in the first 12 months.

Better health

Diabetes, blood pressure and sleep apnea often ease or resolve.

Restore quality of life

More activity, easier movement and renewed confidence.

Procedures

The surgeries we help with

The two most common procedures deliver substantial, sustained weight loss. The right procedure is determined by a doctor after assessment.

Sleeve gastrectomy

Most of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow sleeve. Food volume drops and hunger eases thanks to lower release of the hunger hormone ghrelin.

Approximately

$3,000 – $5,000

Gastric bypass

A small stomach pouch is created and connected to a lower part of the intestine. Food bypasses part of the GI tract — fewer calories absorbed, faster fullness.

Approximately

$4,000 – $6,500

Band / gastric balloon

Less invasive options: an adjustable band around part of the stomach, or an inflatable balloon inside — both reduce the stomach’s capacity.

Approximately

$2,500 – $4,000

Comparison

Gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy

Both procedures deliver substantial, sustained weight loss. Which one suits you is decided by a doctor based on your condition and goals.

FAQ

Answers to the key questions about surgery

Who is bariatric surgery for?
As a general rule, surgery is considered at a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 35. At a BMI of 30–34.9 it may be recommended if you have weight-related conditions: type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, heart disease or arthritis (often in the knees). Being motivated to follow the diet and lifestyle changes after surgery matters too. The final decision is made by the operating doctor or a medical board.

The two most common procedures:

  • Sleeve gastrectomy — most of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow sleeve; less food volume and less hunger.
  • Gastric bypass — a small pouch is created and connected to a lower part of the intestine; food bypasses part of the GI tract and fewer calories are absorbed.
  • Adjustable band — a band around part of the stomach reduces its capacity.
  • Gastric balloon — an inflatable balloon inside the stomach reduces the amount of food taken in.
On average a patient loses about 70% of excess weight within the first 12 months. Beyond weight loss, surgery often eases or resolves related disorders: the risk of death drops by around 25% thanks to lower cardiovascular and cancer risk, and type 2 diabetes resolves in a large share of patients within a few years, due to hormonal changes and the way the body starts to use glucose.
Serious complications are rare, but risks exist: reflux (GERD) may develop or worsen — patients with significant GERD symptoms are sometimes advised against sleeve gastrectomy. Staple leakage, changes to digestion and, more rarely, an ulcer are possible. That’s why a specialist’s assessment matters: the doctor chooses the best procedure based on your needs, lifestyle and health.
Recovery usually takes 4–6 weeks. In the first days there may be pain, sometimes nausea, and constipation is common — more fluids and early movement help. Walking and leg exercises are recommended the day after surgery to avoid blood clots. People usually return to everyday activities after about a week and to normal exercise after a few weeks; heavy lifting is best avoided for around 6 weeks. Your medical team gives detailed instructions.
Surgery starts from $3,000. The package price usually includes the hospital stay, hotel accommodation, pre-op tests, airport and hospital transfers, translation support and post-op consultations. Our services are already part of the price — you don’t pay extra. The price through us is always equal to or below going direct to the clinic. The final figure depends on the country, clinic, surgeon’s experience and complexity of the case.
