Initial Consultation
The first meeting takes place in person or online via video call. Medical history, existing conditions, and goals are reviewed; preliminary tests are planned.
Tests and Consultations
Blood tests, upper endoscopy, abdominal ultrasound, chest X-ray, ECG, and — when needed — endocrinology, cardiology, pulmonology, and psychiatry assessments are completed.
Hospital and Surgery
Hospital stay, preparation and travel planning depend on the type of procedure, the protocol of the treating healthcare institution and individual clinical assessment. This information site does not state fixed durations and does not organise accommodation or transport; these are arranged with the treating healthcare institution.
After Discharge
Close contact is maintained in the first week; follow-up visits are scheduled via telemedicine. Controls at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months are recommended, followed by annual reviews.
