Obesity Surgery

When is Obesity Surgery Indicated?

Bariatric surgery may be recommended for patients who meet one or more of the following criteria:

• Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 40
• BMI ≥ 35 with obesity-related comorbidities (e.g. type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea)
• Documented failure of conservative treatment (diet, exercise, medication)
• Physical or psychological impairment due to severe overweight

Surgical Methods Offered

We offer all internationally established and scientifically validated procedures, including:

• Gastric Balloon – A temporary, non-surgical option in which a soft, expandable balloon is inserted endoscopically into the stomach. It promotes early satiety and helps initiate weight loss, typically over 6 to 12 months. Ideal for patients with moderate obesity or as preparation for surgery.
• Sleeve Gastrectomy – Permanent removal of approximately 80% of the stomach, reducing hunger and calorie intake.
• Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass – Creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes part of the small intestine, reducing both food intake and nutrient absorption.
• Mini-Gastric Bypass / One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) – A simplified, highly effective variation of the traditional bypass, with strong metabolic benefits.
• Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD) – A more intensive procedure that combines significant stomach reduction with bypassing a large portion of the small intestine, leading to profound metabolic and weight loss effects. Rarely performed today due to complexity and nutritional risks, but still an option for selected patients.
• Duodenal Switch (DS) – A variation of BPD that includes a sleeve gastrectomy combined with a duodenal-intestinal bypass. It offers powerful results for patients with severe obesity or metabolic disease, requiring close lifelong follow-up.

Each case is carefully evaluated to determine the most suitable technique for the patient’s health profile and long-term success.

A path to lasting health and quality of life

Obesity is a chronic and progressive condition that significantly increases the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, joint damage, and certain cancers. When lifestyle modifications and conservative treatments are not sufficient, bariatric (obesity) surgery can offer an effective, long-term solution.

We provide comprehensive obesity treatment tailored to each individual – from preoperative assessment and nutritional counselling to surgery and lifelong follow-up.
