Frequently asked questions
Is bariatric surgery safe?
Yes, very! Laparoscopic techniques are very safe and serious complications are very rare. Dr. Dawood has performed 600+ successful procedures with no major complications.
Will the weight come back?
If you commit to a healthy diet and exercise — no. The results are permanent because the stomach does not return to its previous size. The key is lifestyle change.
How much weight will I lose?
Usually 60-80% of the excess weight in the first year. Results vary depending on the initial weight and adherence to the nutrition programme.
Are there scars?
The incisions are very small (several small punctures) and leave no visible scars. Most people return to work in 2-3 weeks.
Will I be able to eat normally afterwards?
You will eat much less and specific types of food. It starts with liquids, then purees, then normal food. The quantities will be smaller — that is the point!
When will I see the results?
Weight loss starts immediately. In the first month you lose 5-10 kilograms. Full results appear over 12-18 months.
