What Is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery is a minimally invasive operation performed to help people with severe obesity lose weight safely. It works by reducing the stomach size or rerouting digestion to limit food intake and absorption.
Who Is Eligible for Bariatric Surgery?
People with a BMI over 30 and obesity-related conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea may qualify. Each patient’s suitability is assessed individually by our medical team.
How Much Weight Can I Expect to Lose?
Most patients lose between 50–80% of excess weight in the first 12–18 months, depending on procedure type and lifestyle.
What Are the Benefits of Bariatric Surgery?
The benefits of bariatric surgery go far beyond weight loss. Many patients experience major improvements in diabetes, blood pressure, sleep apnea, PCOS, joint pain, and asthma — and even a reduced risk of certain cancers. Most importantly, it brings back energy, comfort, confidence, and a healthier, longer life.
What Are the Possible Risks of Bariatric Surgery?
Like any surgery, there are risks — bleeding, infection, or nutrient deficiencies — but serious complications are rare when performed by experts.
