Initial Consultation
The first meeting takes place as an in-person examination. 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
In the first week the facility's follow-up plan applies; follow-up visits are scheduled as in-person examinations. Controls at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months are recommended, followed by annual reviews.
