Who are we
Many obese individuals successfully lose weight after their surgery. Unfortunately, few succeed in weight loss maintenance.
The diverse causes of obesity allow us to consider and propose a customized treatment and maintenance plan, as per each individual’s case.
Our center is designed to help you lose and maintain your weight loss through integrating dietary, medical or surgical means. In accordance with your life style.
Since we acknowledge the physical and psychological consequences of rapid weight loss especially after bariatric surgery, we’ve created an aftercare program that aids and supports you during that period.

G.A Total weight loss of 45kgs in 9 months Pre-Operative Health Conditions: Sleep Apnea, Dyspnea, Reflux & High blood pressure
Before my operation I weighed 150 kg. I was always tired, had high blood pressure and acid reflux. I was out of breath and feeling sleepy all day long due to my sleep apnea. I did not like the way I looked or felt. I was always worried what other people thought of my appearance. I underwent a Sleeve Gastrectomy . One year later, no high blood pressure, and freed from my CPAP machine. I was able to go to a regular store and buy clothes right off the rack. I feel great! I have a 2 year oId son and I am sure I will be able to see him grow up!
