Available Diagnostic Steps

Patients undergo a full medical check-up before any procedure. The evaluation process is comprehensive. It ensures safety and creates a personalized plan.

• Comprehensive preoperative tests to assess overall health.
• Anesthesiologist evaluation to plan for safe sedation.
• Cardiologist assessment to check heart function.
• Clinical dietician consultation to discuss nutrition changes.

Surgical Treatment Options

The clinic specializes in minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. All procedures use advanced Olympus 3D/4K visualization technology. This provides surgeons with a detailed, high-definition view. The main surgical treatments for long-term weight loss are gastric sleeve surgery and gastric bypass.

Gastric sleeve surgery is a common procedure. It reduces the stomach's volume by about 75-80%. This limits food intake and also lowers hunger hormones. The laparoscopic surgery typically requires a 2-night hospital stay.

Gastric bypass works in two ways. It creates a small stomach pouch to restrict eating. It also reroutes part of the intestine to reduce calorie absorption. Patients usually stay in the hospital for 2 nights after surgery.

The clinic also offers mini gastric bypass. This is a simplified version of the traditional bypass technique. Both gastric sleeve and bypass packages often include hospital stays and follow-up care.

Non-Surgical and Endoscopic Treatments

For patients seeking less invasive options, the clinic provides two procedures. The gastric balloon is a non-surgical, temporary solution. A doctor places it in the stomach via endoscopy. The balloon helps patients feel full faster. This procedure is done without an overnight hospital stay.

Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a newer approach. A surgeon uses an endoscopic device to place sutures inside the stomach. This reshapes it without any external incisions. Recovery is often quicker than with traditional surgery. A one-day hospital stay is typical.

The clinic's packages aim to provide a complete service for international patients. These can include diagnostics, the main procedure, and a hospital stay. Some also feature hotel accommodation, airport transfers, and long-term follow-up care. The team is led by Dr. Grzegorz Kowalski, a recognized surgeon with awards from leading medical companies.
