Welcome to EurObesity Clinic. We have a profound understanding of the problem of obesity as a disease which may and should be treated. Our mission is to help obese individuals to start a new life. Bariatric surgeries
which we perform facilitate not only the reduction of the body weight but also the improvement of the condition and quality of health. This allows our patients to enjoy life which they have not experienced before and we are happy for them. Doing sports, starting a family, climbing – these are only some of the wonderful experiences which our patients can appreciate. It is a source of great satisfaction for us and motivation for further efforts to get through to those in need.
Gastric bypass is a procedure in which the stomach is divided into the upper small pouch of the size of an egg and the bottom section. Then the pouch is connected to the intestine and, as a result, the consumed food goes around the larger part of the stomach and intestine – they are excluded from the digestion and absorption process.
Gastric Sleeve is a procedure in which a large portion of the stomach (approximately 80%) is removed and a part whichcontains around 100-150ml of food is left. As the name suggests, during the surgery the stomach is shaped into a sleeve. Initially, it was believed that the restriction, i.e. a mechanical limitation of the amount of consumed food, isprimarily responsible for the result of the surgery. Now we know that the procedure has a very strong metabolic effect. The removed part of the stomach is the main source of the hormone responsible for the feeling of hunger (ghrelin), therefore, the treated patients do not feel hunger at all or do not feel it so strongly.It does not apply to the period preceding the menstruation when female hormones stimulate appetite regardless of ghrelin production.
