Procedures

Every case has its own path

There is no “best” procedure: there is the right one for your case. The recommendation is defined in a medical assessment, with clear clinical criteria.

Gastric balloon

A non-surgical alternative for selected cases. A temporary device that supports a phased plan.

Learn about the balloon

Gastric sleeve

The most common bariatric procedure. Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery with a guided recovery protocol.

Learn about the sleeve

Gastric bypass

Indicated in specific cases such as severe reflux or long-standing diabetes. Defined together with the Dr. during the assessment.

Medical & nutritional management

If surgery isn't your path today, medical and nutritional support is also a serious way to start. It all begins with an assessment.

Eligibility for each procedure is confirmed only in a medical assessment. This information is for guidance only and does not constitute a diagnosis.
