Frequently asked questions
Educational information — not a substitute for individualized medical advice.
Am I a candidate for bariatric surgery?
Candidacy depends on BMI, obesity-related conditions, prior operations, medications, and personal goals. A full assessment is required — online forms help us triage, but decisions are made in consultation.
How long is recovery after sleeve gastrectomy?
Many patients resume light desk work within 1–2 weeks, but timelines vary by procedure, fitness, and job demands. Your surgeon will provide a personalized plan.
What are the main risks?
All surgery carries risk (bleeding, infection, clots, leaks, anesthesia complications). Bariatric programs reduce risk through selection, technique, and follow-up — we discuss this openly before consent.
Will I need vitamins forever?
Most bariatric patients need long-term micronutrient monitoring and supplementation. Compliance protects energy, bone health, and neurological wellbeing.
Do you treat international patients?
Yes — we coordinate consultations, investigations, hospital booking, and follow-up with clear English communication.
Is the result permanent?
Surgery is a powerful tool, not a magic fix. Long-term success depends on lifestyle, follow-up, and support. We focus on sustainable habits.
