International Patient Guide: Bariatric Surgery Abroad

For patients travelling from abroad, assessment, preparation and continuity of care are planned in advance together with the physician and the treating healthcare institution.

Preparation from Home

A video consultation includes assessment of height, weight, comorbidities, medication list, and prior surgical history. Existing test results and endoscopy reports are useful for preliminary evaluation.

The Programme Abroad

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 Returning Home

Regular follow-up via video calls. Controls at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months and annual reviews are recommended. The team helps establish contact with a local dietitian and physician for laboratory monitoring.

Important Caution

Medical tourism should prioritise patient safety and continuity of care. Promises made without full medical evaluation, driven only by low price, are not safe.
