FAQ ABOUT Explore Top Bariatric Surgery Clinics

Browse frequently asked questions about explore top bariatric surgery clinics

  • What is the safest surgery for weight loss?

    Gastric sleeve surgery is generally one of the safest bariatric surgery.  It has fewer complications and a quicker recovery than options like gastric bypass. However, the safest weight loss surgery depends on your health.

  • Is bariatric surgery painful?

    Bariatric surgery involves some discomfort, but pain levels vary by surgery type and individual tolerance. Most patients experience manageable pain in the first few days. However, prescribed medication usually relieves the pain. 

  • Can I live a normal life after bariatric surgery?

    Yes, you can live a normal life after bariatric surgery. While there are adjustments to make, many people experience significant improvements in their overall health and quality of life. 

  • Can I be pregnant after bariatric surgery?

    Yes, you can become pregnant after bariatric surgery. However, most doctors recommend waiting at least 12 to 18 months after surgery before trying to conceive.

  • What is the life expectancy after bariatric surgery?

    Life expectancy often improves after bariatric surgery. The surgery reduces obesity-related risks like diabetes and heart disease. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key to long-term success.

  • Is there anything you can never eat again after bariatric surgery?

    After bariatric surgery, certain foods can be hard to eat or you should avoid. This is because the surgery makes your digestive system more sensitive to certain foods. Sugary and high-fat foods, for example,  may cause discomfort.

Bariatric surgery is a type of weight loss surgery designed to help individuals who struggle with severe obesity. This procedure involves altering the digestive system to limit food intake or reduce nutrient absorption, which leads to significant weight loss. 

This surgery is more than just a cosmetic procedure; it’s a powerful tool for improving health, reducing the risk of obesity-related diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and sleep apnea, and ultimately enhancing quality of life.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Bariatric Surgery?
 

Bariatric surgery for weight loss is typically advisable for individuals who have been unable to achieve lasting weight loss through diet and exercise alone. To be considered a good candidate, you should meet the following criteria:

  • Body Mass Index (BMI): A BMI of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35-39.9 with obesity-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or severe sleep apnea.
  • Weight-Related Health Issues: If your weight is causing significant health problems, the surgery might be an option.
  • Commitment to Lifestyle Changes: Successful weight loss surgery requires a commitment to long-term lifestyle changes. This includes diet and exercise.
  • Mental and Emotional Health: Being mentally prepared and having realistic expectations are crucial for a successful outcome.


What Are the Different Types of Bariatric Surgery?
 

There are several types of this procedure, each with its own approach to helping patients lose weight:

  1. Gastric Sleeve Surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy): This is one of the most common types. It involves removing about 80% of the stomach, leaving a small, banana-shaped portion that limits the amount of food you can eat.
  2. Gastric Bypass Surgery (Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass): This procedure involves creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach. Then, the surgeon connects it directly to the small intestine. This not only limits food intake but also reduces calorie and nutrient absorption.
  3. Gastric Banding (Lap-Band): In this procedure, an adjustable band is placed around the upper part of the stomach to create a small pouch that limits food intake. This option is less common today due to the availability of more effective procedures.
  4. Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS): This complex surgery involves removing a portion of the stomach and bypassing a large section of the small intestine. It’s typically for patients with a very high BMI.


Risks and Benefits of Bariatric Surgery
 

Like any surgery, bariatric surgery comes with risks and benefits. Understanding these can help you make an informed decision:

Benefits:
 

  • Significant Weight Loss: Most patients lose between 50% and 70% of their excess weight within the first two years.
  • Improved Health: Many obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea, improve or even resolve after surgery.
  • Enhanced Quality of Life: Patients often experience increased energy, mobility, and self-esteem.


Risks:
 

  • Surgical Complications: As with any surgery, there is a risk of complications. These are such as infections, bleeding, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.
  • Nutritional Deficiencies: Some types can lead to deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, requiring lifelong supplements.
  • Dumping Syndrome: This occurs when food moves too quickly through the digestive system, causing nausea, vomiting, and dizziness.


How Much Does Weight Loss Surgery Cost?
 

The cost of weight loss surgery can vary significantly. It depends on the type of procedure and where it’s performed. On average, here’s what you can expect:

  • Gastric Sleeve Surgery: €8,000 to €15,000
  • Gastric Bypass Surgery: €10,000 to €20,000
  • Gastric Banding: €5,000 to €10,000
  • Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch: €12,000 to €25,000


Prices can vary widely depending on the country, the surgeon’s experience, and the hospital’s facilities. It’s important to consider the long-term health benefits and potential cost savings from reduced medical expenses in the future.
