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
- Standard approaches to weight loss have not worked before
Why don't diets and exercise work for everyone?
It is common to try various diets and exercise for years while the body resists — slower metabolism, stronger appetite, returning weight. When it becomes evident that diet changes and medication by themselves cannot fundamentally help, bariatric surgery becomes the only effective solution.

Bariatric surgery methods at City Medical Centre
Sleeve gastrectomy
Most of the stomach is removed during surgery, and what remains becomes a narrow tube. This cuts portion size significantly and reduces ghrelin, the hormone of hunger, so patients feel full sooner and eat less.
Effectiveness: the method is intended for a BMI of 35 to 45. Excess weight goes down by 60–70% on average.
Specifics: the result holds up less well than after bypass operations. If the diet is broken, particularly with high-calorie drinks and liquid food, weight may come back.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
A 50–70 ml pouch is formed at the upper end of the stomach and linked directly to the small intestine. It limits food intake and lowers calorie absorption because food moves along a shorter stretch of the gut.
Effectiveness: known as the “gold standard” for a BMI over 45–50 combined with type 2 diabetes. Excess weight loss hits 75–85%.
Specifics: compared with other bariatric methods, the result is more stable. Conditions like diabetes and hypertension commonly go into remission. The altered digestive anatomy requires lifelong vitamin and mineral supplements.
Mini gastric bypass (MGB)
This is a refined form of the classic bypass. Unlike the standard technique, the surgeon makes just one connection (anastomosis) between the small stomach and the small intestine. The simpler approach is gentler on the patient and requires less recovery time.
Effectiveness: comparable to the classic Roux-en-Y bypass — patients lose up to 75–80% of excess weight.
Specifics: quicker surgery and a speedier recovery. The procedure is technically reversible; however, the single anastomosis creates a bile reflux risk.
Single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI-S)
SADI-S is a contemporary combined technique uniting what is best in sleeve gastrectomy and intestinal bypass. Two stages are involved: first a narrow tube is formed from the stomach, then the small intestine is rerouted, leaving most of it outside active digestion.
Effectiveness: ranks among the most powerful bariatric operations: up to 80–90% of excess weight lost, with lasting results.
Specifics: removing the ghrelin-producing zone makes the stomach smaller and lowers appetite, while rerouting food around part of the intestine restricts calorie absorption. Indicated for super obesity (BMI over 50), severe type 2 diabetes, or as a second stage after an ineffective sleeve.

City Medical Centre bariatric surgery centre
— your path
to confidence and harmony
City Medical Centre approaches obesity in a comprehensive way. Each patient, after the first examination, is assigned a personal diagnostic program (lab and instrumental) to identify all disorders in the body.
A method matched to your goal
Choosing the surgical method is individual for each patient at our clinic. Doctors first review your health, history of weight and related conditions and then propose the most suitable surgical option.
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
All bariatric operations at City Medical Centre are laparoscopic, which greatly speeds recovery. Most patients get up and move on the first day and return to normal life within a week.
Full diagnostics on site
No shuttling between clinics. Your full work-up happens at our centre, from our own lab to ultrasound and gastroscopy. Preparation is quick, there are no queues, and it is all in one building.
Recovery after bariatric surgery
How recovery goes is largely individual, yet minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques keep the rehabilitation period to a minimum.
Duration
The length of clinic observation is 1 to 5 days, depending on the extent of the operation and related conditions.
Activity
In the early hours after surgery you can already sit up, stand and have fluids.
Wound care
Absorbable sutures are used; they dissolve on their own.
Work
Work can be resumed 7–14 days after surgery, depending on how physically demanding it is.
Restrictions
In the first weeks, avoid the bathhouse, sauna and intense physical exercise.
Diet
A staged diet is prescribed for 1–2 months, moving from liquids to solids so the stomach can adapt.
Pace
When they follow specialist advice, patients lose an average of 10% of excess weight each month.
Stabilization
The final result is reached in 1.5–2 years. By then the patient has built stable eating habits that prevent the weight from returning.
Important! Recovery is supervised by City Medical Centre specialists, who provide psychological and medical support at every stage of weight loss.

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?
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.
What diet do I need to follow?
Your diet changes in stages: from liquid food to soft, then to solid. The focus is on protein and on limiting high-calorie, fatty food.
What types of bariatric surgery are there?
City Medical Centre performs four main types of bariatric surgery: sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, mini gastric bypass (MGB) and SADI-S duodeno-ileal bypass. Each method is chosen individually based on BMI, related conditions and the patient's goals.
Can I plan a pregnancy after surgery?
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.
Do I need to take vitamins after surgery?
Yes, taking vitamins after bariatric surgery is mandatory. Because digestion is anatomically altered, the body absorbs some nutrients poorly, so regular vitamin and mineral supplements stay in the patient's life permanently.
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.

About weight loss surgery for patients from Thane
Surgery is usually justified with a BMI above 40, or above 35 when serious related conditions are present, and sometimes at lower values if other approaches have failed. People in Thane who have carried 30 kg or more above normal for years, whose weight returns after every diet, or who live with type 2 diabetes, hypertension or joint pain are typical candidates.
A personal coordinator is assigned from day one, so no one goes through the process alone. After the first examination, each patient gets an individual diagnostic programme to identify every disorder in the body. Then the surgeon selects the method and performs the laparoscopic operation, and a doctor stays nearby 24/7. That is the sequence for everyone from Thane.
There are no hidden fees: one package covers everything required for the result. It brings together experienced surgeons, round-the-clock care, meals, nursing, a coordinator and a legal result guarantee. Tick the situations that apply to you and request a free check of your case; a coordinator will contact patients from Thane to arrange the next steps.
