1. Who is a candidate for bariatric (weight loss) surgery?

Patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 35, or those with a BMI over 30 who also have obesity-related health conditions (comorbidities) such as type 2 diabetes or hypertension, may qualify for bariatric surgery. A comprehensive medical evaluation is required to confirm eligibility and ensure suitability for the procedure.

2. Is gastric balloon a permanent solution?

No, a gastric balloon is a temporary weight loss solution, typically remaining in the stomach for about 6 months. It's designed to aid weight loss by creating a feeling of fullness and reducing appetite. For long-term success, it is best combined with significant lifestyle and dietary changes, and continued adherence to a healthy regimen after the balloon is removed.

3. Will I need to follow a special diet after surgery?

Yes. Following a carefully structured post-operative diet plan is essential after bariatric surgery. Our specialist nutritionists will guide you through various dietary phases (liquids, pureed foods, soft foods, and eventually regular foods in small portions) to ensure a safe recovery, optimize healing, and promote healthy, long-lasting weight loss results.
