In the modern world, people are constantly exposed to stress. Technologies designed to simplify life, and the development trends of the world have played a cruel joke with people. Many are forced to sedentary lifestyle, working in the office. A lot of people consciously spend their leisure time sitting at a computer or watching TV. At the same time, an impressive amount of food is often consumed, which can be far from healthy and very high-calorie.

Bariatric surgery in Kyiv: the importance of the field and a modern approach to treating obesity

Bariatric surgery is a field focused on treating patients who are overweight and have metabolic disorders. It is not about aesthetics, but about a medical way to reduce the risks of type II diabetes, hypertension and joint diseases. Bariatric surgery in Kyiv is considered an effective solution in cases where diet therapy and medication do not produce lasting results and health continues to deteriorate.

At our Avicenna Med medical centre (48 Degtyarivska Street, Kyiv), we use advanced bariatrics methods with minimally invasive technologies. Here, patients undergo diagnosis, surgery and recovery in one place, which increases safety and saves time. This comprehensive approach allows bariatric surgery to be not just an intervention, but part of a well-thought-out medical programme to restore quality of life.

What happens as a result?

The body receives a huge amount of calories, which in most cases are not consumed, but “settling” in the form of cholesterol in the vessels and fat on the sides.

In the absence of sufficient physical activity, pathological obesity occurs, which has already become a global problem. The main symptom of pathology is body weight exceeding the norm by more than 40%.

In addition to the state of obesity, there are a number of unpleasant symptoms and diseases, including life-threatening ones:

Constant thoughts about food, an overwhelming feeling of hunger;
The impossibility of adaptation in society, provoked by psychological problems caused by unpresentable appearance;
Difficulty of movement (including simple household manipulations – for example tying shoelaces or cleaning the house);
Sweating, frequent shortness of breath, weakness;
Development of concomitant diseases provoked by obesity: hypertension, lung disease, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, infertility, uncontrolled urination, bronchial asthma, etc.

Obesity Surgery (Bariatric Surgery)

Of course, one of the simplest and most effective truths is the rule that you need to eat less and move more. But this rule doesn’t always apply, and not to everyone. In cases where a person is no longer able to cope with obesity on his own or is in a state that threatens their life, an innovative method of solving the problem is used – bariatric surgery.

What is it like and how it helps to lose weight?

Surgical treatment of obesity (bariatrics) is carried out in order to reduce the amount of food consumed or to limit the absorption of incoming calories. During the operation, part of the stomach or small intestine is removed / isolated. In some cases, a combination of methods is possible (the best option is chosen for each person individually).

In bariatric surgery, several methods are now used to solve the problem of obesity. The most common of them is laparoscopic resection of the stomach, the purpose of which is to minimize its volume, and gastric bypass surgery, designed to reduce its volume simultaneously with the deactivation of the small intestine section from the digestive process.

Why choose bariatrics at Avicenna Med

Choosing a clinic for surgical treatment of obesity requires a balanced approach. At Avicenna Med, bariatric surgery in Kyiv is based on a combination of surgeons’ experience, accurate diagnosis and modern technologies. Patients receive not just a single service, but a comprehensive medical programme from the first visit to follow-up care after weight loss. We invite you to familiarise yourself with the main advantages of our clinic:

This approach makes bariatric surgery as safe and predictable as possible for the patient. It is not only the operation itself that plays an important role, but also the attention to detail that accompanies the patient at every stage of treatment.

It is important for the patient to understand that the result depends not only on the operation itself, but also on competent follow-up care. At Avicenna Med, this stage is given no less attention: doctors monitor weight loss dynamics, adjust nutrition and give recommendations on lifestyle. This approach helps to consolidate the effect and make the changes sustainable for many years to come.

On average, patients lose 60-80% of their excess weight within the first year. The weight loss is gradual and is accompanied by improved health indicators.
