Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric Surgery at Green Village Medical
At Green Village Medical, we understand that obesity is a complex condition influenced by a combination of genetic, behavioral, metabolic, and environmental factors. That’s why we offer comprehensive bariatric surgery programs tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle. With the right approach, bariatric surgery is not just a weight-loss tool—it is a path to regaining your freedom, vitality, and self-confidence.
What is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery involves a series of surgical interventions aimed at helping individuals with severe obesity lose weight and reduce the health risks associated with excessive body fat. These procedures work by restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold or by altering the digestive process to reduce nutrient absorption. It is a powerful solution for patients who have not succeeded with traditional methods such as dieting and exercise alone.
Benefits of Bariatric Surgery
| Health Improvement | Lowers risks of diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease |
| Improved Mobility | Reduces strain on joints, improving physical function |
| Psychological Well-being | Boosts confidence and alleviates symptoms of depression |
| Long-Term Results | Sustained weight loss with proper follow-up and lifestyle support |
Types of Procedures We Offer
- Gastric Sleeve: A procedure that removes about 80% of the stomach, reducing hunger hormones and food intake.
- Gastric Bypass: Creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the intestines to reduce calorie absorption.
- Mini Gastric Bypass: A simplified version of the traditional bypass with fewer risks and shorter operation time.
- Revision Surgery: For patients who have had a previous bariatric procedure but need adjustments or corrections.

- Have a BMI of 40 or more

Bariatric Surgery Requirements
To ensure safety and long-term success, not every patient is an immediate candidate for bariatric surgery. At Green Village Medical, we follow internationally recognized guidelines to assess eligibility. Generally, candidates have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher—or 35 and above with obesity-related conditions like diabetes or hypertension. A full medical evaluation, commitment to lifestyle changes, and readiness for post-operative follow-up are essential. Our team carefully reviews every case to offer the most suitable and safe treatment path.

We offer all-inclusive, transparent pricing for our international patients—ensuring there are no hidden fees, and every detail is clearly communicated. Investing in your health is a decision that brings lifelong returns, and our team is here to make that decision as accessible as possible.
