Bariatric surgery can be considered for patients who meet specific conditions. Calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index), very important to determine if you are eligible for obesity surgery, then read the paragraph INDICATION (below) and the Preoperative check-up page.
Let’s emphasize once again that, whatever the chosen procedure, a life long change in dietary habits and lifestyle is essential. Bariatric surgery is not a cosmetic surgery, long term follow-up is necessary.
- As a secondary option after failure of medical, nutritional, dietary and psycho-therapeutic treatments, well carried out over the course of 6 to 12 months.
- In the absence of sufficient weight loss or in absence of maintained weight loss, after following supervised diets with a specialist (nutritionist, dietician, endocrinologist) with written proof (prescriptions etc.), very important for your medical insurance company !
- Patient well-informed in advance.
- Assessment and multidisciplinary preoperative support throughout several months.
- The understanding and willingness of the patient to accept the need for lifelong medical and surgical follow-up.
- Acceptable operative risk.
