Bariatric surgery is an effective surgical treatment for obesity that helps patients lose weight, normalize blood sugar and blood pressure, and restore energy and overall quality of life.
The effectiveness of bariatric surgery is supported by international research. According to data from the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) , patients lose on average 60–77% of their excess body weight within the first year after surgery, with significant improvement or remission of type 2 diabetes also commonly observed.
For residents of Kharkiv considering bariatric surgery, we have prepared detailed information about the process, real patient reviews, and practical recommendations.
How Bariatric Surgery Works
Day 1 - Consultation and Comprehensive Examination
You submit a request on our website, after which we analyze the provided information: weight, height, age, and medical history. Based on this data, we conduct an online consultation and discuss the full cost of the procedure. If everything meets your expectations, we schedule a convenient date for an in-person consultation in Kyiv. On the appointed day, you come to the clinic, where a multidisciplinary medical team performs a full evaluation:
- Surgeon
- Endocrinologist
- Dietitian
- Anesthesiologist
- Psychologist
The goal is to assess your overall health, determine the most appropriate type of surgery, and ensure the procedure is safe for you. Not every patient is eligible for bariatric surgery, therefore a team evaluation is mandatory.
After the consultation, patients may stay in comfortable hospital rooms with all amenities, including secure parking and a cafeteria, until the scheduled surgery date. This allows you to prepare calmly, receive additional consultations, and complete necessary examinations without stress.
During the first day, the following tests are performed:
- Blood and urine tests
- Cardiological and endocrinological assessment
- BMI evaluation and analysis of comorbidities
Day 2 - Surgery
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The duration ranges from 1 to 3 hours depending on the type of surgery:
- Sleeve gastrectomy
- Gastric bypass
Our surgeons perform precise, minimally invasive procedures, after which the patient is transferred to the inpatient unit for monitoring.
Days 3–5 - Inpatient Recovery
- Continuous medical monitoring
- Support from doctors and nursing staff
- Postoperative nutrition guidance
- Recovery and physical activity supervision
After discharge, the patient continues postoperative follow-up remotely. Required laboratory tests are performed at the patient’s place of residence, and results are sent to us for evaluation. At 3 months and 6 months, we additionally send email reminders regarding follow-up examinations and recommendations to ensure safe and effective recovery.
