Common questions
Frequently asked questions about bariatric surgery
Who can be a candidate for bariatric surgery?
It depends on your body mass index (BMI), your health conditions and your history. That is why we first evaluate you in a consultation and decide together on the best option for you.
How much does the surgery cost?
The cost depends on the procedure we choose together. Write to us or call and we will explain your options during your initial evaluation.
How many days in the hospital are required?
We are pioneers in outpatient surgery. The surgeon and the team will tell you which option is right for you.
What is the difference between gastric sleeve and bypass?
The gastric sleeve reduces the size of the stomach, while the bypass also changes the path food takes through the digestive system. Each technique has different advantages and considerations; the most suitable one is defined in your individual evaluation.
