Sleeve gastrectomy is among the safest bariatric procedures when performed laparoscopically in an accredited hospital with a specialised team. We assess your full medical picture — heart, lungs, blood tests and anaesthetic risk — before any decision is made. If your case carries elevated risk, we will tell you plainly and discuss the alternatives.
This is one of the most common concerns, and it is a reasonable one to raise. Modern anaesthesia is highly monitored, and a consultant anaesthetist reviews your case before the procedure. Serious anaesthetic complications are rare. We would rather you ask this question directly than carry the worry silently — bring it to the consultation.
[DUMMY — client to confirm typical figures] Most patients leave hospital within one to two days and return to desk-based work in about a week. Physically demanding work may require longer. Full recovery, including adapting to a new way of eating, takes several weeks with our nutrition team supporting you throughout.
Yes — and this is central to how we work. Follow-up is not optional and it is not an extra. A full year of scheduled reviews and a nutrition plan is part of the care, because the operation alone does not produce a lasting result. Our team is reachable on WhatsApp between appointments.
No. Obesity is a medical condition with hormonal, genetic and metabolic causes — not a failure of willpower. Most of our patients have made several serious attempts to lose weight before arriving here. Surgery is a medical tool, not a shortcut, and no one on this team will treat your decision as anything other than a considered one.
That depends on your BMI, whether you have type 2 diabetes or reflux, your previous surgical history and your own goals. Sleeve suits most first-time patients; bypass is often stronger for diabetes and severe reflux; revision applies where an earlier operation did not achieve its aim. The decision is made together, after assessment — not from a website.
Weight regain is possible with any bariatric procedure, and it is usually linked to nutrition and follow-up rather than the operation itself. This is precisely why a full year of structured follow-up is built into the care rather than sold as an extra — the surgery creates the opportunity, and the follow-up is what makes it hold.
[DUMMY — client to confirm arrangements] Yes. We regularly see patients travelling from the Gulf and elsewhere. Message us on WhatsApp and we will explain the assessment sequence, the expected length of stay, and how follow-up is managed once you return home.
Cost depends on the procedure, the hospital and your individual medical circumstances — so we give a figure only after assessment rather than publishing a price that may not apply to you. Message us on WhatsApp and we will talk it through honestly.
Message us on WhatsApp or fill in the form on the contact page. The first consultation is free and carries no obligation — it is a conversation about whether surgery is right for you, not a sales appointment.
