Risks & Safety Information
Bariatric surgery has been shown to reduce overall mortality by 40% in obese patients and significantly improve or resolve obesity-related conditions including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and joint disease.

All bariatric procedures are performed in Ministry of Health-approved hospitals with dedicated bariatric surgery departments, ICU facilities, and experienced multidisciplinary teams (surgeon, anesthesiologist, nutritionist, psychologist).
