Obesity is a root cause of numerous serious health conditions including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea and joint problems. When diet and exercise fail to produce lasting results, bariatric surgery is the most effective, scientifically proven treatment option. At Enora Health Group, our specialized bariatric surgeons and multidisciplinary team help patients embark on a healthier life.
Before surgery, a thorough evaluation is conducted by endocrinology, cardiology, psychology and nutrition specialists. Your body mass index, existing conditions and lifestyle are all considered to determine the most suitable surgical approach for your needs.

Gastric sleeve surgery reduces the stomach's volume by approximately 80%, reshaping it into a tube-like form. Performed laparoscopically, this procedure both mechanically limits food intake and significantly reduces ghrelin, the hunger hormone. Most patients lose 60-70% of their excess weight within the first 12-18 months. Surgery time averages 45-60 minutes with a hospital stay of 2-3 days.
Gastric bypass is both a restrictive and malabsorptive technique. A small pouch is created from the upper stomach and connected to a section of the small intestine, bypassing a portion of it. This reduces both food intake and nutrient absorption. It is especially preferred for patients with type 2 diabetes, gastroesophageal reflux and high BMI, producing dramatic improvements in metabolic parameters.
The gastric balloon is a non-surgical, endoscopically placed temporary weight loss device. A silicone balloon is inserted into the stomach and filled with saline, reducing stomach capacity and promoting a feeling of fullness. It is removed after 6-12 months. Ideal for patients who are not surgical candidates or need to lose weight before surgery. The procedure takes about 20 minutes with same-day discharge.
When previous bariatric procedures have not achieved satisfactory results or complications have developed, revision surgery is performed. This may include correction of an expanded sleeve, conversion from gastric band to bypass, or bypass revision. Each case is individually evaluated to determine the most appropriate revision strategy.
Metabolic surgery targets the treatment of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome through surgical intervention. It can be performed even on patients with a BMI of 30-35 whose diabetes is not adequately controlled with medication. A significant proportion of patients see blood sugar levels normalize without medication following surgery, and insulin resistance is resolved.
Success in obesity surgery depends as much on post-operative dietary compliance as on the procedure itself. Our dietitians guide you through every phase -- from the pre-surgery preparation diet through liquid nutrition, soft foods and normal eating stages. Vitamin and mineral supplements, protein targets and portion control ensure healthy, long-term weight management.
