"}},"texts":{"txt_ikind_after_3_clinics":{"text":"Weight loss or bariatric surgery is an intervention aimed to reduce the volume of the stomach and accelerate the food movement along the gastrointestinal tract reducing the amount of food you eat. Surgical intervention is the only weight loss method that gives a long-term and guaranteed result.\n\t
\nThe operation is necessary for overweight people with the body mass index (BMI) over 40 kg/m². To calculate your BMI, you need to divide your weight in kilograms twice by your height in meters. For example, your weight is 150 kg and your height is 1.7 m — BMI = 150 / 1.72 = 51.9 kg/m².\n\t
\n\tObesity surgery is also prescribed for people with concomitant diseases — hypertension, diabetes mellitus, joint damage. In this case, the operation is carried out with a BMI of 30-35 kg/m².\n\t
\n\tAfter calculating your body mass index, consult with a surgeon. Only a doctor can decide if you need this procedure, choose the most effective bariatric surgery method in your particular case, answer all your questions, and predict the results after the operation.\n\t
\nDuring the surgery, 80% of the stomach is removed. Surgeons form a tube 2-2.5 cm in diameter. Thus, the volume of the stomach and the amount of food absorbed are reduced.\n\t
\n\tGastric bypass\n\t
\n\tDuring this operation, surgeons form a stomach pocket with a volume of 15-30 ml. Food from the pocket gets to the small intestine directly. As a result, patients have a sense of fullness even when taking a small amount of food.\n\t
\n\tGastric band\n\t
\n\tIn this case, bariatric doctors put the upper part of the stomach in a silicone cuff or gastric band. It narrows the stomach cavity and regulates the speed of food movement through it.\n\t
\n\tGastric balloon\n\t
\n\tDuring the procedure, surgeons place an empty silicone balloon into the stomach. Then specialists fill a balloon with the physiological saline to the required volume. The operation helps to simulate a sense of fullness in the stomach.\n\t
\n\tStomach stapling\n\t
\n\tDuring this surgery, metabolic specialists decrease the stomach volume and form a smaller diameter gastric tube. A part of the stomach is not removed, and the gastric wall is sewn with a multi-row suture.\n\t
\n\tBariatric surgery is not performed for teenagers and people with alcohol or drug addiction. Other contraindications include:\n\t
\n\tBefore the operation, you should stick to some rules and follow the doctor’s recommendations. The most important among then are:\n\t
\n\tMore about the presurgical program you can find here.\n\t
\nThe operation plan mainly depends on the method of obesity surgery. Each of them differs in the technique of performing. Generally, the procedure takes about 3 hours.\n\t
\n\tThe hospitalization is required. Usually, the patient stays in the hospital for 2-3 days:\n\t
\n\tBariatric operation is a serious surgical intervention, so has some risks:\n\t
\n\tHowever, the operation is minimally invasive and the success rate of weight loss operation is 98%.\n\t
\nRead more about the rehabilitation after the obesity procedure here.\n\t
\nIf you are planning a pregnancy, postpone it for at least 18 months after the procedure. This is the time when your weight is reduced so pregnancy will be a big burden for the body.\n\t
\n\tAfter this period, pregnancy is usually safer than before the surgery — for both the mother and the baby. You should inform your gynecologist what type of intervention you had and if there were any complications after the procedure (blood clots, blood transfusion, etc.).\n\t
\nDuring a year after the operation, a person loses up to 60-70% of excess weight. In rare cases, it takes about 1.5 years. It is important that losing weight is irreversible if the patient follows all doctor’s recommendations — the weight will go away and won’t come back. This is a major advantage of the surgical treatment of the overweight.\n\t
\n\tBesides, after the weight loss surgery, the patients also notice regress or get rid of other diseases associated with obesity — type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension (high blood pressure), cardiac pathology, hyperlipidemia (high cholesterol), arthritis, infertility.\n\t
\nYes, usually you need to take vitamins and minerals. Supplements provide the patient with essential nutrients needed to maintain good health. A diet that must be kept after the surgery may not always provide the full range of nutrients.\n\t
\nRecognized safety standards for bariatric surgery in Korea align with international protocols including JCI and KOIHA accreditations. Leading hospitals follow Joint Commission International (JCI) guidelines for surgical safety, infection control, and patient identification. These facilities utilize advanced laparoscopic and Da Vinci robotic surgery systems to minimize patient risks.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that choosing a multidisciplinary hospital over a plastic surgery clinic is vital for safety. While clinics like VG Plastic Surgery handle high volumes, larger institutions like Asan Medical Center or SNUBH perform 30,000+ operations annually. These major centers provide 24/7 intensive care support and on-site specialists which are critical for managing bariatric recovery.
Patient Consensus: Patients note that while surgical technology is top-tier, they often need a Korean-speaking advocate for consultations. Many emphasize the importance of checking if the surgeon has specific obesity board certifications before booking.

Those with a BMI of 30 plus obesity-related conditions like diabetes also qualify. Candidates must show psychological stability. They should also commit to long-term lifestyle changes and follow-up care for success.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While local obesity rates are low at 5%, Korean hospitals like Asan Medical Center perform over 65,000 operations annually. This high surgical volume allows clinics to offer advanced technology like the Da Vinci robotic system for bariatrics. Patients should prioritize surgeons like Dr. Yongjin Kim, who has performed 2,000+ bariatric procedures.
Patient Consensus: Patients note that surgeons strictly screen for psychological readiness before approving surgery. Many emphasize that budgeting for a 10–14 day stay is vital for proper recovery and initial follow-up.

Surgeons require these diagnostics to confirm surgical safety and identify underlying conditions like nutritional deficiencies or sleep apnea. Most patients complete all required testing within 1 to 2 weeks.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While many international patients focus solely on the surgery, leading Korean centers like SNUBH and Asan Medical Center utilize integrated digital systems to process up to 10 vials of blood in under 48 hours. This efficiency allows surgeons like Dr. Yongjin Kim, who has performed 2,000+ bariatric procedures, to move from diagnostics to the operating room much faster than in Western hospitals.
Patient Consensus: Patients note that Korean clinics often bundle gastroscopy with sedation as a standard requirement. Many emphasize requesting English translations of all results immediately to ensure their doctors back home can monitor their recovery properly.

This timeframe ensures safe initial recovery and mandatory follow-up checks. Surgeons typically require a 3–5 day hospital stay. Remaining days locally allow for staple removal and final medical clearance before flying.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Clinical data from high-volume centers like Asan Medical Center shows that recovery efficiency often depends on the surgical method used. While traditional gastric sleeve surgery is common, robotic-assisted options are increasingly favored in Seoul. Robotic systems help surgeons achieve higher precision, which can lead to smoother early recovery phases for international patients.
Patient Consensus: Patients note that a 10-day stay feels manageable but recommend having a companion for the first week. Many emphasize using local guesthouses near the clinic to simplify travel for frequent follow-up appointments.

This timeframe depends on the specific procedure and recovery progress. Minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques used in Seoul clinics allow for faster healing. Surgeons typically require stable vitals before clearing international travel.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data from high-volume centers like Asan Medical Center shows that specialized bariatric units prioritize rapid mobilization. This focus on walking within hours of surgery significantly speeds up the official travel clearance. Patients at JCI-accredited facilities often receive comprehensive travel certificates to facilitate airline boarding 5 days post-op.
Patient Consensus: Patients note it is vital to use compression socks and stay hydrated during the flight home. Many suggest staying in a local hotel for a 2-day buffer period after hospital discharge just in case.

Patients start with clear liquids for 2 days before moving to full liquids. The process then advances to pureed soft foods and finally a long-term bariatric diet. This protocol prevents dehydration and surgical complications.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Leading institutions like Soon Chun Hyang University Hospital utilize specialized Bariatric Centers to manage intake. Dr. Yongjin Kim has performed 2,000+ surgeries and emphasizes structured nutrition. Patients at high-volume centers often receive detailed diet sheets to ensure 1.5L daily hydration goals are met.

Facilities like Asan Medical Center and Severance Hospital employ full-time coordinators. They manage visa invitations, airport transfers, and medical translation during consultations and surgery to help international patients.
Bookimed Expert Insight: High-volume centers like Severance Hospital, which serves over 1.6 million outpatients annually, integrate English support directly into their digital BESTcare systems. This ensures your medical records and prescriptions are accurately translated. Choosing a hospital with JCI accreditation typically guarantees a more streamlined logistics experience for English speakers.
Patient Consensus: Patients note that while major hospitals provide professional translators, having a backup translation app is helpful for quick chats with night-shift nurses. Most find the dedicated coordinators essential for navigating local pharmacies and arranging transport back to the airport.
