Bariatric surgery is not just a “weight loss operation,” but a modern method of treating obesity, the effectiveness of which has been confirmed by international research, including recommendations from the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) and publications in The Lancet.
How Bariatric Surgery Is Performed at Our Clinic
My work begins not in the operating room, but with a consultation. I carefully review the patient’s medical history, calculate BMI, and assess comorbid conditions - type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and joint problems.
After that, we:
- Conduct a full medical evaluation - blood tests, ultrasound, and cardiology assessment.
- Select the surgical method - sleeve gastrectomy (Sleeve) or gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y).
- Explain all stages of preparation and the postoperative period to the patient.
The surgery itself is performed laparoscopically - through small incisions. This minimizes tissue trauma, shortens recovery time, and reduces the risk of complications. Typically, the patient stays in the hospital for 2–4 days under my continuous supervision.
After discharge, we continue to support the patient with nutritional monitoring and follow-up tests.
