obesity surgery

One of the modern world’s most severe health issues, obesity is not only an esthetic issue but also affects the overall health and quality of life of millions of people.

The Liv Hospital Obesity Clinic caters for international patients and their accompanying persons, offering the latest techniques, advice, programs and surgery in liaison with international patients’ medical professionals in their home countries.

Operating as a sub-unit of the General Surgery Center, the Liv Hospital Obesity Clinic uses laparoscopic and robot technology to perform bariatric surgery that is known as the “Permanent Weight Loss Method” as a result of significant body weight loss. This method begins to show significant results after 6 months, and takes up to 18 months in total.

With the additional support and consultation of psychologists and dieticians, this can give our international weight loss surgery patients a whole new life of good health and activity.

Patients who seek information on obesity from public sources are exposed to information overload and sometimes misinformation.

Accurate and updated information can only really be obtained from fully equipped centers such as the Liv Obesity Center that specialize in obesity surgery.

Successful obesity surgery cannot only be defined as a certain degree of weight loss over a short period of time. It must also be medically acceptable and proven, and maintain the weight loss in the long term with minimum side effects or complications.

The Liv Hospital Obesity Clinic caters for international patients, their families and accompanying persons, offering the latest techniques, advice, programs and surgery in liaison with international patients’ healthcare providers and professionals in their home countries.
