BMI Calculator

Weight loss surgery is an option if you have a body mass index (BMI) of 32 or higher or have a BMI between 30 and 35 and an obesity-related condition.

Gastric Balloons give patients a window of opportunity to help them lose weight quickly and effectively. The effects of these procedures last for approximately 6 months. These weight loss surgery cyprus procedures can be very helpful to patients with a BMI below 35 wanting to lose weight.

Please read the information below which outlines the different procedures available.
We are happy to discuss these options with you, to help you make an informed decision.

Weight Loss Surgery (Bariatric Surgery)

Gastric Sleeve

It is an operation method that reduces the stomach capacity by 80%. It is a surgical method planned with the logic of reducing food intake and thus calorie intake by reducing only the volume without changing any part of the gastrointestinal system. With this method, it is generally possible to reduce 30-52% of body mass. Unlike many surgeons, we routinely bury the cut line after sleeve gastrectomy with suture, as a standard for all patients, we adjust the size accordingly by placing a calibration tube. This method is called an adjustable gastric sleeve.
