Hristo Nikolaev Kolev, your specialist for bariatric surgery in Frankfurt, will be at your side personally - from the initial consultation to the operation and long-term follow-up care. This means that you will receive continuous care and can be sure that your individual healing process will be fully supported.
As we run a private clinic, treatment is offered to those with statutory health insurance as a self-pay service. Of course, we will inform you in advance of all costs incurred.
1. Preparation:
Before the procedure, a thorough examination, information and an adapted
diet are carried out to optimally prepare the body for the operation.
A gastroscopy is also necessary. We ask you to send us the corresponding findings report.
2. Procedure:
The reduced stomach is connected directly to the small intestine,
allowing some of the food to bypass the normal digestive route.
3. Stitching & healing:
The surgical connection is stitched securely to support a complication-free
recovery.
4. Initial recovery phase:
Immediately after the operation, you will be monitored in the recovery
room before inpatient follow-up care lasting 2 to 4 days, for which additional
costs will be incurred.
5. Long-term aftercare:
Regular check-ups, targeted nutritional advice and individual lifestyle
adjustments are crucial to the success of the operation.
