When is bariatric surgery justified?
Surgery is prescribed only when clear criteria are met
The role of body mass index (BMI)
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.
Key factors
- The patient's body mass index (BMI)
- Overall health and any related chronic conditions
- Earlier attempts to lose weight by conventional means have failed
Why don't diets and exercise work for everyone?
Many people spend years on different diets and exercise, yet the body resists: metabolism slows, appetite rises and the lost weight comes back. Once it is clear that changing the diet and taking medication cannot fundamentally improve things, bariatric surgery becomes the only effective solution.

Bariatric surgery methods at City Medical Centre
Sleeve gastrectomy
In surgery, most of the stomach is taken out and the rest is formed into a narrow tube. Portions become far smaller and ghrelin, the hormone behind hunger, drops, so the patient feels full quicker and eats less.
Effectiveness: this method is for a BMI of 35 to 45. Patients drop 60–70% of excess weight on average.
Specifics: the outcome lasts less reliably than after bypass. Weight can come back if the diet is neglected, above all with high-calorie drinks and liquid food.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
At the top of the stomach the surgeon makes a small 50–70 ml pouch, linking it directly to the small intestine. Intake of food is restricted and calorie absorption falls, since food passes through less of the gut.
Effectiveness: the operation counts as the “gold standard” for BMI above 45–50 with type 2 diabetes; 75–85% of excess weight is lost.
Specifics: more lasting results than other bariatric methods. Associated conditions such as diabetes and hypertension often go into remission. Because digestion is anatomically altered, vitamins and minerals must be taken for life.
Mini gastric bypass (MGB)
It is an improved variant of the classic bypass. Unlike the standard method, here the surgeon forms only one connection (anastomosis) linking the small stomach to the small intestine. The simpler technique is less demanding and needs less recovery time.
Effectiveness: similar to the classic Roux-en-Y bypass; up to 75–80% of excess weight is lost.
Specifics: a shorter operation and quicker recovery. The procedure can technically be reversed, but the single anastomosis carries a risk of bile reflux.
Single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI-S)
A modern combined approach, SADI-S merges the benefits of sleeve gastrectomy with those of intestinal bypass. It takes two stages — turning the stomach into a narrow tube, then rerouting the small intestine so that the larger part is excluded from active digestion.
Effectiveness: one of the most powerful bariatric operations — excess weight loss reaches 80–90% with a long-lasting result.
Specifics: the smaller stomach, minus its ghrelin-producing zone, dampens appetite, and bypassing a portion of the intestine limits calorie absorption. It is an option in super obesity (BMI over 50), severe type 2 diabetes, or as a second stage after an ineffective sleeve.

to confidence and harmony
City Medical Centre sees obesity comprehensively. From the first examination, each patient has a personal diagnostic program (lab and instrumental) built to identify every disorder present in the body.
A method matched to your goal
Our doctors choose the surgical method individually for each patient. Before deciding, they review your health, weight history and related conditions to offer the most suitable surgical treatment.
Support that stays in touch
After surgery the City Medical Centre team continues to support you. Throughout year one, specialists track weight loss, review your tests and answer all your questions on diet and recovery.
Fast recovery
Laparoscopic bariatric operations at City Medical Centre make recovery far shorter. Most patients are moving on day one and resume their normal life within a week.
Full diagnostics on site
No need to run between clinics. Our centre has everything for your work-up, from our own lab to ultrasound and gastroscopy. Preparation is quick, with no queues, all in one building.
Recovery after bariatric surgery
Much of recovery depends on the individual, but minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques keep the rehab stage as short as possible.
Duration
The patient remains under observation at the clinic for 1 to 5 days, depending on the scope of surgery and related conditions.
Activity
Sitting up, standing and drinking are allowed in the first hours after surgery.
Wound care
Absorbable sutures are used; they dissolve on their own.
Work
Returning to work takes 7–14 days after surgery, depending on how physical your work is.

In the early weeks, intense exercise, sauna and bathhouse are ruled out.
Diet
A staged diet is prescribed for 1–2 months — from liquids to solids to let the stomach adapt.
Pace
On average, patients who follow the specialists' advice lose 10% of excess weight a month.
Stabilization

Frequently asked questions
about bariatric surgery at CMC
Bariatric vs plastic surgery: what's the difference?
Many people confuse them, but the goals are fundamentally different. Bariatric surgery is a medical way to treat obesity and related diseases. It changes how the digestive tract works, getting at the causes of excess weight and metabolism. Plastic surgery only reshapes the body's outer contours; it does not treat obesity or affect metabolism.
How soon can I return to work and normal life?
Will there be visible scars?
Using modern laparoscopic technique, we perform the operation via 4 small punctures of 5 to 15 mm. Cosmetic sutures are placed, leaving marks that are nearly invisible after healing.
What diet do I need to follow?
Diet changes happen in stages, from liquids to soft food and then solids. It centers on protein and limits high-calorie, fatty food.
What types of bariatric surgery are there?
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.
Can I plan a pregnancy after surgery?
Bariatric surgery does not rule out pregnancy, but doctors suggest waiting 12–18 months or more. During that time the body settles, weight reaches target values and nutrition status normalizes.
Do I need to take vitamins after surgery?
Yes, after bariatric surgery vitamins are a must. The altered digestive anatomy reduces absorption of some nutrients, which makes regular vitamin and mineral supplements a permanent part of the patient's life.
Can the weight come back?
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.

Everything about bariatric surgery for New Kingston patients

Each is chosen individually based on BMI, related conditions and personal goals.
Step one: consultation. Step two: laboratory and instrumental tests, gastroscopy and specialist reviews. Step three: surgery through small punctures by a permanent team, not a duty shift.
