Bariatric Surgery

Gastric sleeve surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) laparoscopically removes approximately 80% of the stomach, creating a small tube-shaped pouch that limits food intake. Cost covers the laparoscopic procedure, hospital stay (2–5 days), and often a post-operative nutrition program. China's bariatric surgery centers offer the same laparoscopic techniques as top Western hospitals at 60–75% lower cost with comprehensive aftercare.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the intestine to reduce food absorption, achieving significant and sustained weight loss. It is more complex than a gastric sleeve, involving longer surgery time, extended hospital stay, and ongoing nutritional monitoring. China's experienced bariatric surgeons perform this procedure with the same techniques and safety standards as leading Western centers at 60–75% lower cost.
