An option for those who not only want to lose weight but also improve metabolic diseases.

Gastric Sleeve & Gastric Bypass are among the minimally invasive surgical options for weight loss and the remission of diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, fatty liver, and many others. For example, the Gastric Sleeve has become the most widely used and effective tool worldwide. This procedure takes approximately 35 to 45 minutes. Typically, we discharge patients within 24 to 30 hours after surgery.

Additionally, because it is performed laparoscopically (minimally invasive), patients can return to their regular activities within 5 to 7 days. The procedure requires only 3 to 4 small incisions (1 cm each), through which approximately 75% of the stomach is removed to create a restrictive effect. All of this is, of course, accompanied by the guidance and care of a multidisciplinary team, including a bariatric nutritionist, psychologist, internal medicine physician, and follow-up doctors, ensuring the best possible results.

RESULTS

For patients with grade 2 obesity or higher, physical changes become noticeable within the first 3 months, with an average weight loss of 20 to 30 kg. However, the most important outcome is the remission of metabolic diseases—most patients completely stop taking multiple medications, while others significantly reduce their dosage.

OUTPATIENT OPTIONS FOR OVERWEIGHT PATIENTS

For patients who are not yet classified as obese but have 10 to 15 kg of excess weight above their ideal weight, we offer non-surgical outpatient procedures that take approximately 20 minutes.

One such option is the Intragastric Balloon, which is NOT a surgery and does not require anesthesia. It involves placing a silicone balloon filled with 400 to 500 ml of saline solution dyed blue. This creates a sensation of early satiety, meaning the patient feels full with less food.

This procedure is also combined with a personalized nutrition and psychology plan. However, it is important to note that this procedure only helps patients move out of the overweight category, with an average weight loss of 15 kg over 6 to 12 months. It does not guarantee the remission of metabolic diseases, making it a simpler tool rather than a definitive solution.

GENERAL SURGERY PROCEDURES

Thanks to our expertise in advanced laparoscopic surgery, we can also perform procedures such as:

• Inguinal Hernia Repair
• Umbilical Hernia Repair
• Gallbladder Removal
• Anti-Reflux Surgery
• Hiatal Hernia Repair, among others.

What are the advantages of laparoscopic surgery?

Unlike open surgery, laparoscopic procedures require only three small (1 cm) incisions, allowing for:

✔ Faster recovery—patients are discharged within 24 hours and can resume regular activities in about 6 days.

✔ Shorter surgery time—procedures typically last 45 minutes to 1 hour.

✔ No post-surgery drainage—patients do not need any drainage tubes after discharge.
