Get Free ConsultationBariatric surgery is one of the most-referred General Surgery procedures MedTrav coordinates — both options below are performed laparoscopically at partner hospitals, with the choice between them driven by your specific health profile.
Roughly 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller sleeve-shaped stomach — a simpler procedure than bypass, with no rerouting of the intestines.
Combines stomach size reduction with intestinal rerouting — often recommended when reflux or type 2 diabetes are also being managed.
Confirmed based on BMI and obesity-related health conditions, alongside a full medical and psychological readiness review.
BMI, comorbidities and prior weight-loss attempts reviewed by a bariatric surgeon to confirm eligibility and the recommended procedure.
Bloodwork, cardiac clearance and a nutritionist consultation completed shortly after arrival.
Gastric sleeve or bypass performed through small incisions, typically 1–2 hours.
Liquid diet begins within a day of surgery, progressing gradually under nutritionist guidance.
A detailed diet progression schedule and vitamin supplementation plan provided before you fly home.
Tele-consultation check-ins to track progress, shared with your home physician for ongoing care.

What this actually covers, and what it doesn't: Post-surgery nutritionist follow-up and compression garments are commonly left out of online quotes — MedTrav's estimate states plainly what's bundled into the hospital package.

Gastric sleeve (sleeve gastrectomy) removes roughly 80% of the stomach, leaving a smaller banana-shaped stomach. Gastric bypass reroutes part of the digestive tract in addition to reducing stomach size. Your surgeon recommends one based on your weight, health conditions (like diabetes or reflux) and goals.
Eligibility is generally based on BMI and obesity-related health conditions — typically BMI over 37.5, or over 32.5 with conditions like type 2 diabetes or hypertension, though your surgeon confirms this after reviewing your full medical history.
This varies by individual and procedure type — your surgeon can give you a realistic range based on your starting weight and the specific procedure, but results depend heavily on following post-surgery dietary guidance long-term.
Typically 3–5 days for laparoscopic gastric sleeve or bypass, assuming no complications — both procedures are usually performed laparoscopically (small incisions) rather than open surgery.
Yes — a structured diet progression (liquids, then pureed, then solid foods) over several weeks is standard after either procedure, along with lifelong dietary adjustments and vitamin supplementation. Your discharge plan includes this in detail, along with nutritionist support.
