How it works
Treatment at the clinic —
from preparation to discharge
An agreed treatment plan, close monitoring in hospital and support lasting a year.
1Consultation and a treatment plan
The doctor checks your health, goes over your goals and arranges the tests needed to choose a suitable bariatric surgery method.
2Booking the surgery date
To reserve your surgery date, pay the deposit by card at the clinic or online by bank transfer. The terms are fixed in the contract for medical services
3Tests before surgery
Preparation for surgery means blood and urine tests, an ECG, an ultrasound, a gastroscopy and specialist consultations. Your doctor gives you the exact list at the consultation.
4Surgery
The surgeon performs the bariatric operation with the chosen method under general anaesthesia. After surgery the patient is monitored by the medical team.

Once the operation is over, you stay in hospital supervised by doctors. Depending on its complexity and how you feel, this lasts from 1–3 to 4–5 days.
6Recovery
You leave with advice on diet and recovery. Scheduled check-ups then track how you feel, your weight and your test results, and the clinic team stays with you for a year.
The doctor draws up a plan at the consultation and explains how the surgery will go

Surgery is prescribed only when clear criteria are met
- The patient's body mass index (BMI)
- Overall health and any related chronic conditions
- Past attempts to shed weight in conventional ways were unsuccessful
BMI serves as the chief indicator of obesity severity. Divide body weight (kg) by height squared (m²) to calculate it. Surgery is normally justified at BMI above 40, or above 35 with serious accompanying conditions. In selected cases it is considered at lower values as well — if non-surgical methods did not help.
Though often confused, the two have fundamentally different goals. Bariatric surgery is a medical treatment of obesity and related illnesses; it changes the functioning of the digestive tract to address the causes of excess weight and metabolism. Plastic surgery reshapes the outer contours of the body and neither treats obesity nor affects metabolism.
Four main bariatric surgery types are available at City Medical Centre: sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, mini gastric bypass (MGB) and SADI-S duodeno-ileal bypass. The method is picked individually, considering BMI, related conditions and the patient's goals.
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.
Recovery depends on your activity. Office work: after 2–4 weeks. Physical work: after 1.5 months. Sport and activity: swimming allowed after 30 days, other exercise added step by step as weight drops. Travel and holidays: plan them no earlier than a month after surgery.
The diet evolves in steps — from liquids to soft, then solid food — with a focus on protein and limits on high-calorie, fatty food.
After bariatric surgery pregnancy is possible, yet doctors recommend at least 12–18 months of waiting. Meanwhile the body stabilizes, weight arrives at target values and nutritional status normalizes.
Yes, vitamins after bariatric surgery are necessary. The body absorbs certain nutrients less well due to the changed digestive anatomy, so regular vitamin and mineral supplements become a permanent part of the patient's life.
Weight can come back after bariatric surgery, but this is very unlikely if you follow your doctor's advice. Proper nutrition, skipping high-calorie drinks and regular follow-up with City Medical Centre specialists are key.
