For patients with BMI above 35 (or above 30 with comorbidities), bariatric surgery offers the most effective and lasting weight loss. Health1 provides comprehensive bariatric care from evaluation through long-term follow-up.

Types of Surgery

Sleeve gastrectomy (most common): 75 to 80% of stomach removed laparoscopically. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: stomach reduction plus intestinal rerouting for greater weight loss and diabetes remission. Mini gastric bypass: simplified with comparable results.

Who Qualifies?

BMI 37.5+ regardless of comorbidities, or BMI 32.5+ with diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnoea, or NAFLD, after 6+ months of failed conservative weight loss.

Results

60 to 80% excess weight loss within 12 to 18 months. Type 2 diabetes remission exceeds 70%. Improvements in BP, cholesterol, sleep apnoea, and joint pain within weeks.
