Three fundamental pillars for the success in any bariatric surgery:
• Proper restriction
• Fair malabsorption
• Life habits
The most important thing in the surgical treatment of obesity is to achieve a long term nutritional balance between losing weight and increasing life quality.
In order to achieve this balance we rely on three pillars, which are fundamental for the success in any bariatric surgery:
In every surgery we apply the minimally invasive techniques in order to minimize the pain and the hospital stay.
Proper restriction: We provide a restrictive component in all our surgeries which reduces the gastric reservoir, and the need to eat food.
Fair malabsorption: We limit the absorption of nutrients in the intestine in a controlled manner, ensuring the patients’ health is not harmed. Whether or not the malabsorptive component is needed, depends on the characteristics of the patient. An appropriate restriction as well as a moderate malabsorptive component guarantee weight loss while preventing the risk of malnutrition.
Life habits: Surgery alone is not enough to fully recover a patient’s health. It is also necessary for the patient to comply with the post-surgery recommendations, and implement healthy lifestyle habits in regards to physical activity and diet.
