Obesity Surgery

The heart of the matter

The obesity surgery unit treats patients suffering from this chronic condition. In extreme situations obesity can lead to complications and serious problems in everyday life.

Modern living styles have made it very difficult to reduce obesity and maintain weight loss over the long-term. When increased exercise and a balanced diet are not sufficient for sustainable results, obesity surgery may be recommended.

6 to 12 month preparative procedure

Preparation before surgery

The decision to undergo obesity surgery must be an integral part of a personalised and coordinated healthcare program, recommended to you by the Hôpital Franco-Britannique.

The staff of theEndocrinology-Diabetology-Nutrition unit and the Digestive tract surgery unit will support you throughout your treatment.

Before undergoing obesity surgery, you must be fully aware of the nature of the intervention, preparation procedure, any associated conditions for success and the risks of failure.

At the Hôpital Franco-Britannique, you will receive a global treatment approach thanks to our multi-disciplinary team of endocrinologists, bariatric surgeons, plastic surgeons and dieticians.
