This is a minimally invasive procedure that induces weight loss by restricting food intake. With this procedure, which is usually performed laparoscopically, the surgeon removes approximately 75 percent of the stomach. This results in the stomach taking on the shape of a tube or “sleeve” which holds much less food, leaving you feeling much fuller on much less food meaning consumption of much fewer calories.
The doctor will examine you and advise which weight loss method is the most effective for your condition.
A basic lab test is going to be done as recommended by the doctor.

Post Bariatric Follow up for 5 years
“I would not get hungry, my usual eating habits change. On my second week I was back to work! It has now been three months from my surgery. So far I have lost 15kgs. I didn’t know I would bounce back that quickly. I’m very excited about the results; I’ve always wanted to do this. I tried very many options and finally I found one that worked, that’s why I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to go through that journey. This journey is life-changing.”

Because this is a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure, the Gastric Sleeve recovery simply requires 2 to 3 overnight hospital stays.

Our surgeons will walk with you from your first consultation, monitor your progress throughout and address any questions or concerns you may have.

Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery is suitable for:
If your BMI is lower than 30, but you are not comfortable with your weight, there are options. If you have tried different weight loss methods but nothing seems to work, we offer our unique course of “Psychological Correction of Eating Habits” that helps you to address psychological factors as well as your nutrition and eating behavior. In addition, you can opt for gastric balloon procedure, which is a bariatric surgery alternative. A soft expandable silicone balloon is inserted into the stomach through the mouth and filled with sterile water to take up space in your stomach. The balloon creates a feeling of fullness and you are satisfied after eating smaller amounts of food as you are used to. It helps in controlling your hunger as well as reduce your portion sizes, which leads to consumption of fewer calories, making you lose weight.
When it comes to weight loss surgery, no BMI is too high. The main goal of the procedures we offer is to help patients achieve a healthy weight. However, please note that if your BMI is higher than 50, the surgeon will ask you to lose more weight before the surgery than what is required for patients with a lower BMI.
When you get a gastroscopy, the doctor checks your stomach for diaphragmatic esophageal hernia, which may lead to reflux after surgery. If a hernia is found, it is repaired during the gastric sleeve procedure.
We recommend that our patients consult their personal doctors before leaving for treatment. Most doctors are aware of the main concerns of medical travel, so patients would greatly benefit from their advice and critical summary of your personal case.
To reserve a date for surgery, we ask our patients to transfer us a small deposit. The balance is paid at our clinic after your consultation with the surgeon. We accept payment in Kenya Shillings, Euros, Pounds and US Dollars, as well as debit and credit cards (Visa and MasterCard).
Some banks have specific policies about making transactions in foreign countries. If you plan on paying with your debit or credit card, please contact your bank to make any necessary adjustments, including increasing your payment card limit if necessary.
