Diagnostics and Planning

Before any procedure, patients receive a thorough pre-operative evaluation. This ensures safety and suitability for treatment. The standard diagnostic package includes:

• Pre-operative anesthesia examination.
• Pre-operative chest examination.
• Pre-operative cardiology consultation.

These tests are part of the surgical package cost.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options

Dr. HE Clinic specializes in several endoscopic and swallowable balloon procedures. These are reversible and do not require surgery. Options include:

• SPATZ 3 Adjustable Gastric Balloon: This is placed endoscopically and remains for 12 months. It can be adjusted every three months to maintain effectiveness.
• Elipse (Allurion) Swallowable Balloon: Patients swallow a capsule containing the balloon. It does not require an endoscopy for placement and stays for about 4 months.
• 6-Month Gastric Balloon (MEDSIL): A standard non-adjustable balloon that is placed and removed endoscopically over a six-month period.
• Gastric Botox: This involves an endoscopic injection of botulinum toxin into the stomach. It temporarily reduces appetite to aid weight loss.

Packages for these procedures often include sedation, VIP airport transfers, and hotel accommodation.

Surgical Treatment: Gastric Sleeve

For a permanent solution, the clinic performs laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. This surgery reduces stomach size by about 80%. It is performed under general anesthesia using Medtronic equipment. The all-inclusive package covers the surgery, pre-operative exams, and extensive aftercare. Patients receive one year of support via WhatsApp from both a physician and a dietician. The clinic also provides lifelong patient care follow-up.
