Obesity/Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery permanently changes the size and structure of the stomach — and in some cases the digestive pathway — to help people with severe obesity eat less, absorb fewer calories, and lose weight in a way that diet and exercise alone haven't achieved. It's also one of the most effective treatments for obesity-related conditions like Type 2 diabetes and sleep apnoea. In the US, the procedure costs $20,000–$30,000 and is often not covered by insurance. In Mexico, India, or Turkey, the same surgery — laparoscopic, in an accredited hospital, with a full support programme — runs $4,000–$8,000.

Overview
▸ What's included? Bariatric surgery works by permanently changing how the stomach and digestive system process food, reducing how much you can eat and — in some procedures — how much your body absorbs. The most common options are the Gastric Sleeve (a portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller, tube-shaped stomach), Gastric Bypass (digestion is rerouted to limit both intake and absorption), and Mini Bypass. For patients who aren't ready for surgery, a gastric balloon — placed endoscopically and removed after 6 months — is a non-surgical option to kick-start weight loss. ▸ Why do patients travel...
