Bariatricsurgery.

A complete bariatric plan covering specialist consultations, screening, meal planning, and surgery. Procedures are performed in our ACHSI-accredited theatres by an experienced bariatric team. An optional combination with a tummy tuck addresses excess skin in the same overall journey. The plan is deliberately thorough, with full work-up before any surgery and structured follow-up afterwards.

Overview

Bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention for severe obesity, and the most demanding to prepare for. Our plan is deliberately thorough: seven specialist consultations and full screening precede any surgery.

Bariatric surgery is an intervention for individuals with significant excess weight who have been unable to achieve lasting results through diet, exercise, or medication alone. Every surgical pathway at our centre is supported by a multidisciplinary team to ensure you are medically, nutritionally, and psychologically prepared for lasting success.

Alternatives

For patients who are not yet ready for surgery, or who prefer to begin with a less invasive approach, the following alternatives may be considered as part of a structured weight management programme: intragastric balloon, medical weight management, or nutrigenomic profiling.

Risks & considerations

Bleeding · Infection · Anaesthetic complications · Deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism · Anastomotic leak · Nausea · Vomiting · Food intolerance · Nutritional deficiencies · Weight regain · Gastro-oesophageal reflux

Duration

4 hours

Recovery

3 nights hospital stay · 14 days on-island recovery

What's included
  • 7 specialists consultation (Digestive surgeon, anesthesiologist, clinical nutritionist, psychiatrist, internist, physiatrist, radiologist)
  • Endoscopic screening
  • Medication and consumables in surgery
  • Room admission up to 3 days
  • Medication on discharge

For patients who have achieved significant weight loss following bariatric surgery, an abdominoplasty or extended tummy tuck completes the transformation by removing the excess abdominal skin that diet and exercise cannot address. This combined package covers your full journey.

Alternatives

For patients not yet ready for surgery, non-surgical alternatives include intragastric balloon, medical weight management, or nutrigenomic profiling. For the body-contouring stage, liposuction alone may suit those with good skin tone, while diet, exercise and non-surgical contouring such as radiofrequency or cryolipolysis can help to a limited degree.

Risks & considerations

Bleeding · Infection · Anaesthetic complications · Deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism · Anastomotic leak · Nausea · Vomiting · Food intolerance · Nutritional deficiencies · Weight regain · Gastro-oesophageal reflux · Reduced or permanent loss of skin sensation · Skin contour irregularities · Poor wound healing or skin necrosis · Visible or thickened scarring · Asymmetry needing revision

Frequently asked

Candidacy is based on a combination of factors including BMI, the presence of obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnoea, and a full medical and behavioural assessment conducted by our multidisciplinary team. As a general guide, surgery is considered for patients with a BMI of 35 or above, or a BMI of 30 or above in the presence of significant comorbidities.
We perform sleeve gastrectomy, which reduces the stomach to a narrow sleeve, limiting capacity and reducing hunger hormones. The most appropriate procedure depends on your BMI, your specific health conditions, your dietary habits, and the findings of your pre-operative assessments. This decision is made collaboratively between you and our medical team as part of the full pre-operative pathway — never based on a single consultation alone.
The Bariatric Plan is a complete, supported surgical pathway from work-up to recovery. It includes seven specialist consultations — Digestive surgeon, clinical nutritionist, psychiatrist, internal medicine, physiatrist, radiologist, and anesthesiologist— together with body-composition analysis, endoscopy screening, a personalised meal plan, and the weight-loss surgery itself. Everything is coordinated by our team so that you arrive prepared, supported, and clear on every step of your journey.
Bariatric surgery produces permanent and significant changes to how you eat and relate to food. A psychiatric and psychological assessment ensures that you are emotionally prepared for these changes, that there are no untreated mental health conditions that may affect your post-operative relationship with food, and that your motivations and expectations are healthy and realistic. This is not a barrier to surgery — it is a fundamental part of ensuring your long-term success. Studies consistently show that patients who receive pre-operative psychological support achieve better and more sustainable outcomes.
Most patients lose between 60 and 80 percent of their excess body weight within the first twelve to eighteen months following surgery, though individual results vary based on starting weight, adherence to dietary guidance, and lifestyle changes. Weight loss is most rapid in the first three to six months and then gradually slows. It is important to understand that bariatric surgery is a tool — sustainable long-term results depend on your commitment to the nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle programme that accompanies it.
Yes. Because bariatric surgery reduces the stomach's capacity, the body's ability to absorb certain nutrients is affected. Lifelong supplementation — including iron, vitamin B12, calcium, vitamin D, and a high-quality multivitamin — is essential following surgery. Your clinical nutritionist will prescribe a specific supplementation protocol based on your procedure and your pre-operative blood results, and regular monitoring will be part of your long-term follow-up plan.
Bariatric Plus combines the full Bariatric Plan with an abdominoplasty or extended tummy tuck to address the excess abdominal skin that commonly follows significant weight loss. Because the two procedures are staged — bariatric surgery first, followed by body contouring once your weight has stabilised — this is a planned two-stage journey rather than a single combined operation. We will assess whether combining is appropriate for your specific case and advise on the optimal timeline between the two stages.
Body-contouring surgery — including abdominoplasty or extended tummy tuck — should only be considered once your weight has been stable for a minimum of twelve to eighteen months following bariatric surgery. Operating before your weight has fully stabilised increases the risk of wound complications, compromises the quality of the result, and may require revisional surgery if further weight loss occurs after the body-contouring procedure. Your surgeon will assess your skin quality, nutritional status, and weight stability before approving the timing of any contouring procedure.
For bariatric surgery alone, most patients spend three nights in hospital followed by a period of monitored recovery on the island before flying home — we recommend a minimum of fourteen nights in Bali in total. For Bariatric Plus, the two procedures are staged across separate visits, with each requiring its own recovery period. Following abdominoplasty or extended tummy tuck, an additional ten to fourteen nights in Bali is recommended before travel. A detailed post-operative diet, activity, and supplementation plan is provided for both stages, and telehealth follow-up is arranged to support your recovery once you return home.
In some cases, yes — procedures such as liposuction of the flanks, thigh lift, or arm lift can be combined with abdominoplasty as part of a comprehensive post-bariatric body-contouring plan. However, the appropriateness of combining procedures depends on your overall health, nutritional status, the extent of surgery involved, and the expected operative duration. Your surgeon will assess what can be safely and effectively achieved in a single session and may recommend staging additional procedures separately to minimise risk.
Lifelong follow-up is an integral part of your bariatric journey, not an optional extra. This includes regular blood tests to monitor nutritional status, ongoing review with your nutritionist to adjust your diet and supplementation as your weight changes, and structured telehealth reviews with our team once you are home.
Bariatric surgery produces significant and sustained weight loss for the vast majority of patients, but long-term success depends on lifelong commitment to dietary changes, regular physical activity, nutritional supplementation, and follow-up care. Some degree of weight regain is possible over time, particularly if dietary habits revert. Patients who engage consistently with their nutritionist and follow-up programme achieve the best long-term outcomes. Our team remains available to support you at every stage of your journey, not just in the immediate post-operative period.
