Mom could not make an accurate diagnosis, and we decided to be examined in Korea. I left a request in bookimed. And what surprised immediately rang. I told you how, all the tests that were done, and I was advised by the Ehwa clinic. We immediately agreed and signed up with a mammologist. Everything is clean in the clinic, all doctors, all medical staff are qualified, and very friendly. The translator was with my mother all the time, and he explained everything very clearly. They quickly took the tests, and immediately established a diagnosis, they said it was necessary to do the operation. The operation lasted 5 hours (general preparation, etc.) after the operations in the clinic 10 days. They did everything neatly, everything had almost healed. I am satisfied with the clinic and the medical coordinators of Bookimed. Thank you all very much!

FAQ about Gastric bypass in Republic of Korea

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?
