Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is a medical procedure designed to help individuals with severe obesity lose weight effectively when other methods such as diet, exercise, or medication have not been successful. These surgeries alter the digestive system by limiting food intake or reducing nutrient absorption, promoting significant and sustainable weight loss. In addition to physical transformation, bariatric surgery can improve or even resolve obesity-related health issues like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and heart disease.
At VivaVel Health’s partner hospitals, patients receive world-class bariatric care from certified surgeons using the latest minimally invasive techniques and holistic support programs for long-term success.

Attend all preoperative evaluations and counselling sessions
