Verified review.
My visit was not so perfect, they were not so professional as I wish. The doctor was good but we have large problems with communication and I feel how he felt uncomfortable about it but cannot do anything with it. That is why I denied to do the operation there and only have a consultation They do not know that I do not speak German but only English I want to say thank you to Lesya, her job was good.

"not just a world specialist, but also a sympathetic person who attentively and thoughtfully listened to my whole story"
Doctor with a capital letter After a long rush about doctors, I finally found Professor Schels - not just a world specialist, but also a sympathetic person who attentively and thoughtfully listened to my whole story, looked at the extracts and appointed additional examinations. All diagnostics took place extremely quickly and clearly. The prescribed treatment of Professor Scheels is working, this is the most important thing. Special thanks to the accompanying Vladimir for the clear translation and help in resolving all issues.

Our Gastric bypass Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Gastric bypass, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Gastric Balloon

A gastric balloon is a non-surgical weight loss option involving inserting a balloon into the stomach to reduce food intake.

Pros: Minimally invasive with no incisions. It offers a temporary solution, allowing removal if needed. 30% weight loss within 6 months is common.
Cons: Potential for nausea and vomiting in 30% of patients. Limited to 6-month duration, requiring further intervention for long-term results.
Effectiveness: Achieves up to 15%-30% total body weight loss.
Duration: 20-30 minutes
Recovery: 1-2 days
Best for: Individuals with a BMI of 30-40. Ideal for those seeking non-surgical weight loss.
Prices: Cost of Gastric balloon in Germany from $3,679

Metabolic Surgery

A surgical intervention aimed at improving metabolic conditions by altering the digestive system.

Pros: Significant weight loss, up to 60% of excess weight. Can improve or resolve type 2 diabetes in 77% of patients. Often results in long-term weight maintenance without needing constant diet adjustments.
Cons: Possible nutrient deficiencies due to altered digestion. Requires lifelong dietary supplements and regular medical follow-ups.
Effectiveness: 60% excess weight loss.
Duration: 2-4 hours
Recovery: 2-4 weeks
Best for: Patients with BMI over 40, or over 35 with obesity-related health issues.

Da Vinci Gastric Bypass Surgery

A minimally invasive robotic-assisted bariatric procedure designed to reduce stomach size and reroute the small intestine.

Pros: Precision of robotic assistance minimizes surgical trauma and enhances recovery. 60% of patients maintain significant weight loss long-term. Reduced risk of complications compared to traditional methods.
Cons: Requires specialized equipment and training, which may limit availability. Longer operation time than standard laparoscopic procedures.
Effectiveness: Achieves 60-70% excess weight loss within 1 year.
Duration: 3-4 hours
Recovery: 2-3 weeks
Best for: Individuals with BMI over 40 or those with obesity-related health issues.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Pros: Significant weight loss, with patients losing up to 70% of excess weight. It improves comorbidities like diabetes and hypertension more effectively than gastric balloon or ESG.
Cons: Requires lifelong vitamin and mineral supplementation. Higher surgical risks compared to non-surgical options like gastric balloon or ESG.
Effectiveness: 60-80% excess weight loss within 1-2 years.
Duration: 2-4 hours
Recovery: 2-4 weeks
Best for: Individuals with BMI over 40, or over 35 with obesity-related health conditions.

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)

A minimally invasive weight loss procedure that reduces the stomach size using an endoscopic suturing device.

Pros: Less invasive than Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. Quicker recovery compared to metabolic surgery. No external incisions. 15-20% total body weight loss in a year.
Cons: Less effective long-term weight loss compared to Da Vinci Gastric Bypass. Possible stomach stretching over time.
