FAQ about Gastric bypass in Spain

What is gastric bypass?

Gastric bypass is a surgery when bariatric doctors create a small ventricle and directly connect it to the middle part of the small intestine. After the operation, a sense of satiety quickly arises in patients and the absorption of food decreases.

After the gastric bypass surgery, patients lose up to 70% of excess weight.

What are the advantages of gastric bypass surgery?

  • reduction of the food amount that a person can eat at one seat
  • the smaller part of the food that enters the stomach is absorbed
  • patients are disliked by many foods (for example, dishes containing refined sugar or fats)
  • the operation is reversible (if necessary).

What results should I expect after the gastric bypass procedure?

During a year after the operation a person loses up to 77% of excess weight.

Studies show that even for 10-14 years after the surgery, 60% of the lost weight is not returned.

Medical problems that are associated with obesity (type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, temporary respiratory arrest (apnea), depression, and back pain), after the surgery may disappear.

According to patients’ gastric bypass reviews, the feeling of saturation comes quickly and the desire to eat decreases.

The amount of weight loss depends on many factors. Among them are:

  • age
  • weight before the surgery
  • health status
  • type of operation,
  • ability to engage in physical exercises
  • strong motivation and cooperation with family and friends.

Where can I have affordable gastric bypass surgery?

Bookimed Medical Doctors present the list of the world’s best countries for gastric bypass among medical tourists. The ranking has been formed according to bariatric surgeons’ experience and gastric bypass reviews.

How much does bypass surgery cost in Germany?

The country is a leader in performing gastric bypass in Europe. 90% of the procedures in Germany are minimally invasive. The scarring and healing process after the procedure are minimized.

The gastric bypass surgery price in Germany is 2-3 times higher in comparison with Asian countries. The main reason for this is the economic development and high living standards of the nation. The cost is justified with high-quality services and patients’ safety.

What is the price of this procedure in Thailand?

Thai hospitals offer high-quality services at the low gastric bypass surgery price. Hospitals here look like 5-star luxury hotels. Thai centers combine the therapy with recreation. 90% of international patients in Thailand are involved in some tourist activities during their treatment according to Medical Tourist Association report.

Thai physicians offer gastric bypass holidays and programs. A patient receives all necessary procedures and services. Due to holidays and programs, the gastric bypass surgery price is cheaper than the separate procedures.

The gastric bypass surgery price in the country is 2-3 times lower than in Germany, Spain, the USA, or Australia. Patients may save up to 35-75% of the money.

How much money will I spend for bypass treatment in India?

India is the 3rd obese country in the world. That’s why Indian bariatricians have a vast experience. Over 100 gastric gastric bypass surgeries are performed here every day.

The gastric bypass surgery price in the state is 3-4 times lower than in European or Middle Eastern countries. The cost of the surgery is based on the economic development and living standards in India.

International patients may save 40-80% of gastric bypass surgery price undergoing the surgery in India.

What is the gastric bypass surgery cost without insurance?

The price for gastric bypass usually includes:

  • consultation with a bariatric doctor
  • the surgical intervention
  • in-hospital stay.

The gastric bypass surgery price depends on clinic’s location (country and city), hospital status, and surgeon’s qualification.
