Obesity Treatment in Digestive Surgery and Gastroenterology Specialist Centro PAD
About the clinic
Obesity treatment at Centro PAD in Madrid, Spain, focuses on advanced bariatric surgery led by a surgical team with over 10 years of experience. Patients can access weight loss solutions such as gastric sleeve surgery for around $10,100 or gastric bypass for approximately $14,600. The medical team performs these procedures at HLA Moncloa University Hospital, which is recognized by Newsweek as one of the World's Best Smart Hospitals.
Bariatric surgery options
The clinic specializes in minimally invasive methods to help patients lose weight and manage health conditions related to obesity. Surgeons use the Da Vinci robotic system, including the X and Xi models, to improve precision during complex maneuvers. These methods involve small incisions, which typically shorten recovery times and reduce post-surgical discomfort.
- Gastric sleeve surgery (sleeve gastrectomy). This procedure costs around $10,100 and removes a portion of the stomach to limit food intake.
- Gastric bypass. Priced at approximately $14,600, this surgery creates a small pouch and reroutes the digestive tract to reduce calorie absorption.
- Robotic-assisted surgery. Doctors use the Da Vinci system for enhanced accuracy during bariatric procedures.
- Advanced laparoscopic techniques. Surgeons perform weight loss operations through tiny openings without large abdominal cuts.
