What sets our Obesity Department apart?
Our department brings together an integrated team of specialists to treat obesity safely and scientifically, including bariatric surgeons, clinical dietitians experienced in managing severe obesity, endocrinologists for obesity-related hormonal disorders, psychologists for emotional eating and behavior change, and physiotherapists for safe activity programs.

What is the difference between simple obesity and morbid obesity?
Simple obesity typically corresponds to a body mass index (BMI) of 30–35 and can be managed with diet and exercise. Morbid obesity refers to a BMI greater than 40, or greater than 35 with comorbidities, and may require surgical intervention.

When do I need bariatric surgery?
Bariatric surgery is advised for patients with BMI > 40, or BMI > 35 with comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, or obstructive sleep apnea, after conventional weight-loss methods have failed.

What types of bariatric procedures are available?
We provide all modern laparoscopic procedures: sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, mini-gastric bypass (one-anastomosis), and intragastric balloon. The most appropriate option is selected based on the patient’s condition and goals.

Is bariatric surgery safe?
Yes. When performed in specialized centers by experienced teams, bariatric surgery is safe. The rate of serious complications is less than 1%, and the success rate for excess weight loss exceeds 80%.

How much weight can I lose after surgery?
Patients can lose 60–80% of their excess weight within the first year after surgery, with major improvements in associated conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.

What is the recovery time after bariatric surgery?
Most patients are discharged within 24–48 hours, return to daily activities within one week, to work within 1–2 weeks, and to sports within 4–6 weeks.

Can I get pregnant after bariatric surgery?
Yes. Bariatric surgery can improve fertility and reduce pregnancy risks. It is recommended to postpone pregnancy for 12–18 months after surgery to allow weight and nutrition to stabilize.

What dietary changes are required after surgery?
After surgery, patients should eat small, frequent meals, chew thoroughly, avoid sugars and high-fat foods, and commit to lifelong vitamin and mineral supplementation.

Can weight be regained after bariatric surgery?
It is normal to regain 10–15% of the lost weight within 2–5 years. With regular follow-up and adherence to dietary and lifestyle guidance, most long-term weight loss can be maintained.

What are the risks of not treating severe obesity?
Untreated obesity increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, sleep apnea, and certain cancers, and negatively impacts quality of life.

Is obesity genetic?
Genetics play an important role, but they are not the only factor. Environment, lifestyle, and diet have significant effects, and obesity can be managed even with a genetic predisposition.

What is the difference between a gastric balloon and other bariatric surgeries?
The gastric balloon is a temporary, non-surgical procedure lasting 6–12 months and is suitable for moderate obesity, whereas sleeve and bypass surgeries are permanent options suited for morbid obesity with more durable outcomes.

How do I prepare for bariatric surgery?
Preparation includes comprehensive medical testing, psychological evaluation, learning the post-operative diet, quitting smoking, and losing 5–10% of body weight before surgery to reduce risk.

What are the markers of successful bariatric surgery?
Success is measured by losing more than 50% of excess weight, improvement of comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension, better quality of life, and the ability to perform daily activities with ease.
