Frequently asked questions

Is bariatric surgery safe?

Modern laparoscopic techniques are generally safe and serious complications are uncommon — but every operation carries risks, which the doctor explains in detail at your consultation.

Will the weight come back?

If you commit to a healthy diet and exercise — no. The stomach does not return to its previous size, so results are long-term with commitment. 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 small (several small punctures) and the scars are usually small and fade over time. Most people return to work within 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.
