Sleeve gastrectomy is a weight loss surgery performed at Liv Bona Dea Hospital Baku in Azerbaijan. The procedure may cost around $3,750 USD and is led by Prof. Dr. Farid Rafiyev, a metabolic surgeon with 17 years of experience who holds the Bronze International Mini Gastric Bypass Surgeon of Excellence title.
This surgery reduces stomach size by about 80% using laparoscopic techniques. Small incisions mean less scarring than open surgery. Patients typically stay 2 nights in the hospital after the procedure.
Prof. Dr. Farid Rafiyev specializes in gastrointestinal and bariatric surgeries. A Doctor of Medical Sciences, he has published 21 scientific articles. His expertise focuses on minimally invasive weight loss procedures.
Patients can usually walk within 24-48 hours after surgery. Full recovery takes 2-4 weeks. The clinic provides a 3-month diet plan and follow-up consultations for optimal results.
