Obesity is a global problem which, despite increasing public awareness, is becoming ever\nmore widespread\u2014according to World Health Organization data, the number of obese\npeople in the world has nearly tripled compared to 1975. Contrary to common stereotypes,\nobesity is not a cosmetic issue but a serious, chronic disease. Without rapid intervention\nand appropriate treatment, it can lead to severe health complications that may affect\npractically the entire body and, in the most serious cases, significantly shorten life\nexpectancy.<\/p>\n
Modern medicine does not leave patients alone with this problem, offering a range of\ncomprehensive and effective methods of treating obesity. These include conservative\nmanagement, which is suitable at the stage of developing overweight, as well as bariatric\nprocedures\u2014both laparoscopic and endoscopic\u2014that enable rapid and effective weight\nloss even in cases of advanced obesity.\nOur Obesity Treatment Clinic provides patients with comprehensive, holistic support in the\nfight against excess weight, using the latest bariatric techniques\u2014laparoscopic\n(laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or bypass: SG, RYGB, MGB) and endoscopic (endoscopic,\nnon\u2011surgical stomach reduction: ESG)\u2014and modern medical equipment, all in accordance\nwith the highest international standards.\nOur bariatric patients can count on the full range of surgical and endoscopic bariatric\noperations, as well as on the specialist tests and consultations required for qualification. We\noffer two bariatric packages: the LUX PACKAGE with comprehensive diagnostics and the\nPREMIUM PACKAGE, which additionally includes a 1\u2011year comprehensive post\u2011procedure\nAFTER CARE program.<\/p>\n
Bariatric (obesity) surgery is currently the only effective long\u2011term method of combating\nobesity, particularly grade II and III. Surgical treatment offers patients not only the greatest\nchance of losing excess body weight\u2014and thus achieving a healthier body mass index\n(BMI)\u2014but also of changing their lifestyle.\nOne of the procedures performed by our team is surgical sleeve gastrectomy. This bariatric\noperation changes the anatomy of the gastro\u2011intestinal tract by reducing stomach volume.\nIt leads to physiological changes that alter energy balance and fat metabolism. As a result,\nbariatric patients feel less hungry and, because small portions are sufficient, they lose\nweight rapidly and durably.<\/p>\n
Patients with excess weight who decide to change their lives and get rid of overweight face\na dilemma: which treatment method is better, more effective, and\u2014above all\u2014most\nappropriate for their health? There are two main paths: surgical and non\u2011surgical\ntreatment of obesity. Indicators that help make the right decision include initial specialist\nqualification, in which the physician considers the BMI (body\u2011mass index, calculated by\ncomparing height and weight), the patient\u2019s current health status, as well as social,\npsychological, and environmental factors. The final decision largely depends on the\npatient\u2014on willpower, determination, and self\u2011knowledge based on reliable information\nabout the available methods of treating obesity.<\/p>\n
Adults with a BMI of 35\u201340 and above who have not achieved significant results with\nconservative management (diet, exercise) may be candidates for surgical treatment of\nobesity. Patients are qualified for bariatric procedures particularly when obesity coexists\nwith comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, arterial hypertension, or cardiovascular disease.\nBariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for people with so\u2011called morbid obesity.\nA bariatric surgeon will determine whether a procedure is necessary and which type of\nbariatric operation is appropriate.\nSurgical treatment of obesity enables effective weight loss and body\u2011mass reduction in\npeople for whom exercise and diets have not produced the expected effects. The risks\nassociated with surgical treatment are relatively small, while the benefits of weight loss are\nvery large. Modern obesity surgery primarily involves operations on the stomach designed\nto: reduce the sensation of hunger; achieve a feeling of fullness after eating a small amount\nof solid food; decrease the amount of food consumed; and exclude from action that portion\nof the stomach which produces ghrelin\u2014the hormone responsible for sending hunger\nsignals to the brain. Bariatric operations effectively repair disturbed mechanisms of\n\nneuro\u2011hormonal regulation of food intake: they lower ghrelin (the \u2018hunger hormone\u2019) and\nrestore post\u2011meal secretion of GLP\u20111 (the \u2018satiety hormone\u2019).<\/p>\n
Surgical treatment of obesity is not suitable for every patient struggling with excess weight.\nEach patient is individually assessed by a physician. Contraindications to bariatric\nprocedures include: alcohol abuse; dependence on medications or psychoactive substances;\nlack of psychological stability; severe depression; other life\u2011threatening diseases (including\ncancers; inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract); serious diseases of the\nrespiratory, circulatory, or renal systems; lack of access to extended postoperative care;\ninability to function independently without assistance where family or social support is\nlacking.<\/p>\n\n\n
