- Gastric Bypass surgery is a gold standard weight loss procedure that is recommended to people with a body-mass index (BMI) that starts from 30. 
During this procedure, the top of the stomach is separated from the lower part of the stomach, which allows making a small stomach pouch of approximately 30 milliliters in volume. After that,  the first portion of the small intestine is divided from the lower part of the stomach and connected to the small stomach pouch.
The expected weight loss is approximately 70-80%.
The procedure costs 5950 €.

- Gastric Sleeve surgery is a bariatric procedure that enables a weight loss of approximately 60-70%, without distorting the “natural” structure of the gastrointestinal tract.
The procedure involves removing 85% of the stomach and creating a banana-shaped gastric tube with a diameter of approximately 2-2.5 cm and a volume of 100-150ml.
The advantage of the procedure is that the food passes through every part of the digestive system, which enables the normal absorption of nutrients and medications.
The procedure is indicated to patients with a BMI higher than 30. 
The price of the procedure is 5950 €.

- Mini Gastric Bypass surgery is a weight loss procedure suitable for patients with a BMI
starting from 35. 
The procedure is suitable for patients with a high BMI because it combines some of the principles of a standard gastric bypass and a gastric sleeve.
During this procedure, the volume of the stomach is reduced and completely separated from the rest of the stomach. The part of the stomach that was separated bypasses the duodenum and is connected to the distal part of the small intestine. The bypassed parts of the organs remain in the body but are no longer used for food digestion.
This procedure reduces the weight by approximately 70-80% and costs 5950 €.

- Revision surgery - is a procedure undertaken after any primary weight loss surgery that gives unsatisfactory results such as inadequate weight loss or weight regain.
The price of this procedure is 6700 €.
