Bariatric surgery
Surgical treatment for obesity, with an individually selected procedure, pre-operative preparation and follow-up care.
When surgery becomes part of obesity treatment
Bariatric surgery is used to treat obesity and related health conditions. A specialist team assesses whether a procedure is appropriate, taking previous treatment, overall health and the patient's needs into account.
At OB Klinika, several specialists assess the patient before surgery is recommended. During the consultation, the surgeon explains the available options, expected benefits, risks and changes the treatment will involve. Surgery forms part of a wider care plan that includes nutritional support and other aspects of obesity treatment.
Preparing for surgery
- Reviewing previous weight-loss attempts and related health conditions
- Medical, nutritional and psychological assessments as required by the team
- Choosing an appropriate procedure and discussing its risks
- Planning follow-up appointments and dietary guidance after surgery
Methods described by OB Klinika
The clinic describes gastric plication, gastric banding, partial jejunal diversion and biliopancreatic diversion. The choice of procedure is individual. We will confirm whether a particular procedure is currently available before arranging a consultation.
Care after your procedure
Follow-up appointments and nutritional care continue after surgery. Your clinical team will advise you on food, physical activity and any supplements you may need, depending on the procedure. OpenMedical can help organise appointments and follow-up care.
