How it works
Treatment at the clinic —
from preparation to discharge
Monitoring in hospital, an agreed treatment plan and support for a whole year.
1Consultation and a treatment plan
The doctor evaluates your health, talks through your goals and orders the tests needed to select the right bariatric surgery method.
2Booking the surgery date
The contract for medical services fixes the terms; we reserve a surgery date for you, and the deposit can be paid by card at the clinic or by bank transfer online
3Tests before surgery
Before the operation you have blood and urine tests, an ECG, an ultrasound and a gastroscopy, and see specialists. The doctor gives you the exact list at the consultation.
4Surgery
The surgeon does the bariatric operation under general anaesthesia by the method chosen. After surgery, the patient stays under the medical team's monitoring.
5Inpatient stay
After surgery you stay in hospital under doctors' supervision. The stay lasts from 1–3 to 4–5 days, depending on the complexity of the operation and how you feel.
6Recovery
Scheduled check-ups after discharge follow your well-being, weight and test results, alongside advice on diet and recovery. For a year, the clinic team supports you.
The doctor explains how the surgery will go and draws up a plan at the consultation
The consultation is free, before surgery and with no obligation.

Surgery is prescribed only when clear criteria are met
- The patient's body mass index (BMI)
- Overall health and any related chronic conditions
- Previous efforts at weight loss through standard methods did not work
The main way to assess the degree of obesity is BMI. It is body weight (kg) divided by height squared (m²). Generally, surgery is justified with BMI above 40, or above 35 combined with serious related conditions. Lower values may sometimes be considered for surgery too, when non-surgical measures have failed.
Many confuse the two, yet their purposes are fundamentally different. Bariatric surgery is medicine's treatment for obesity and related diseases: it changes how the digestive tract operates and addresses the causes of excess weight and metabolism. Plastic surgery reshapes outer contours of the body without treating obesity or affecting metabolism.
City Medical Centre offers four main types of bariatric surgery: sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, mini gastric bypass (MGB) and SADI-S duodeno-ileal bypass. The method is chosen individually according to BMI, related conditions and the patient's goals.
Our approach is modern laparoscopic technique: 4 small punctures of 5 to 15 mm. We use cosmetic sutures, so the marks turn almost invisible after healing.
Recovery time depends on the activity. Office work: after 2–4 weeks. Physical work: after 1.5 months. Sport and activity: swimming allowed after 30 days, other exercise gradually added as weight goes down. Travel and holidays: plan no sooner than one month after surgery.
You move through diet stages from liquid food to soft and finally solid. Protein comes first, and high-calorie, fatty food is restricted.
Pregnancy after bariatric surgery is possible, but doctors advise waiting at least 12–18 months. During this time the body stabilizes, weight reaches target values and nutritional status normalizes.
Yes, vitamins are a must after bariatric surgery. Changes in digestive anatomy mean the body absorbs some nutrients less effectively, so regular vitamin and mineral supplements are part of the patient's life for good.
Weight can be regained after bariatric surgery, but this is very unlikely with the doctor's advice followed. Proper nutrition, avoiding high-calorie drinks and regular follow-up with City Medical Centre specialists are crucial.
