Bariatrics

Obesity is a common lifestyle disease that currently poses one of the greatest challenges for 21st-century medicine. It results from an unhealthy diet consisting of large, irregular, and frequent meals, improperly selected food ingredients containing preservatives and enhancers, and very low or completely limited physical activity.

Bariatry, a branch of medicine that deals with the surgical treatment of obesity, comes to the aid of obese and overweight patients. It is currently one of the most effective methods of treating obesity. It aims to significantly and permanently reduce stomach capacity through the use of appropriate bariatric techniques.

Bariatric surgery is primarily recommended for individuals with a BMI over 40. However, some patients with a BMI over 30 are also eligible for gastric bypass surgery. Not sure what your BMI is? You can easily calculate it on our clinic’s website. Open the BMI calculator and check your result.

During a medical consultation, your doctor will be able to choose the best gastric bypass method based on your medical history and test results. The choice of bariatric method depends on comorbidities. Our patients can count on the full support of a dietitian and psychologist.

If you’d like information about bariatric surgery, the diet before and after gastric bypass surgery, the preparation process, or simply want to make sure the procedure is right for you, we invite you to contact us. The consultation is free and takes place with Bariatric Patient Coordinator Grażyna Dobek. Ms. Grażyna Dobek has undergone bariatric surgery and works with obese patients daily. A conversation with her can help clear up many of your doubts.

The Mazan Surgery Clinic is one of the few centers in Poland to be a Certified Obesity Treatment Center. At our facility, patients can count on comprehensive assistance in the fight against excess weight, which can sometimes be life-threatening. In addition to surgical intervention, patients can also benefit from dietary and psychological consultations.

Additionally, in cases of excessive weight loss, the clinic offers plastic surgery services in so-called post-bariatric procedures, which aim to remove excess, loose and sagging skin. Our main goal is to provide comprehensive, multifaceted, and long-term support to patients suffering from obesity or overweight. This will allow them to begin a new, healthier, and above all, lighter chapter in their lives.

In response to your expectations, we are pleased to announce that we have appointed a bariatric patient coordinator at our clinic. This role is held by Ms. Grażyna Dobek, who, several years after her gastric bypass surgery, shares her experience and knowledge in the field of obesity treatment with you. She provides guidance on how to prepare for the procedure and how to safely achieve the desired therapeutic effect.

Ms. Grażyna also understands the challenges patients may face in the subsequent stages of therapy after gastric bypass surgery and provides accurate answers on how to overcome subsequent crises in this new phase of life. We encourage our current and future patients to contact us by phone.
