Treatment characteristics
This treatment is the most suitable for those patients with a BMI of 30-40 (moderate obesity).
This procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes no more than 45 minutes.
Once asleep, with the aid of the endoscope, a device is inserted through the mouth into the stomach, where a series of folds are made and sewn, reducing the capacity of the stomach and generating a sensation of rapid fullness
After your time in the recovery room, the doctor may recommend that you spend the night in the centre, but you will usually be discharged after a few hours.
Most patients who have undergone this surgery experience an almost total reduction in hip pain and a significant improvement in their quality of life as they are able to return to normal daily activities.
You only need to remain in Spain for one week.
Although, it would be recommendable for you to stay for a few weeks, in order to have a complete follow-up and easy access to the clinic.
Your doctor will tell you the exact times when starting the treatment.

- If you take medication of any kind not related to the surgery, do not forget to take with you the necessary amount for your stay in Spain, as well as the medical prescription that will allow you to travel with it without problems.
During treatment
- Once you are in Spain, you will have to make an appointment with your specialist. During this visit, the doctor will open your medical record (for which you will be asked to provide all your medical documentation), perform a physical examination and tell you if any further tests are needed.
- If it is not necessary and everything is confirmed, your doctor will tell you when you must go to the preoperative study and will confirm the time of admission for the day of your treatment.
- If the surgeon has told you to stop taking any medication a few days before the surgery, such as anticoagulants, please do not forget to follow the exact instructions given by the doctor or you will not be able to go through with the procedure!
- The same goes for any fasting that the doctor indicates, if you do not comply - You will not be able to go through with the procedure either.
After treatment
- After your discharge from the hospital you may feel nauseous for two or three days, which is normal. You will begin a liquid diet that will last a few days and to which you will gradually incorporate textures and foods. Follow the instructions of the medical team strictly, since they will tell you when to introduce other types of food.
- Keep in mind that during the first year, at least, you will follow a strict control of your progress with scheduled visits (which you can do online in many cases) with the digestologist, the nutritionist and the psychologist to help you throughout the process.
- In addition, you will have to undergo a change in your life habits, for the sake of your health, which include everything from food re-education to regular physical exercise, which you should maintain for the rest of your life.
- Remember that your recovery time will vary depending on your age, your physical condition, your lifestyle habits and your attitude.
- Keep in mind that your successful recovery also depends on you!
