Welcome To Aiwa Clinic
Bariatric surgery is a modern, safe and effective treatment in the case of obesity and the occurrence of various metabolic disorders. Following bariatric surgery, the patient is not able to consume large quantities of food due to the reduced stomach volume as well as decreased hunger and cravings, therefore, the body does not accumulate excess fat, which helps the patient lose up to 80% of excess weight over the course of 1–3 years.
Bariatric surgery is a procedure specified to reduce and modify the stomach.
The AIWA Clinic's team of highly qualified specialists performs minimally invasive surgeries using new generation technologies that provide lower postoperative risks and faster patient recovery process.

- Significantly reduced post-operational trauma
- Short recovery period for the patient
- The risk of infections and adhesions in the abdominal cavity are greatly reduced
- Unnoticeable and aesthetically pleasing results

About bariatric surgery
In the case where a person’s body mass index (BMI) is close to 34, which aligns within the overweight category, and is increasing, and if other methods of weight loss have failed, bariatric surgery is a viable option. This surgery provides a number of advantages, like or example in the case of type 2 diabetes, mellitus and high blood pressure.
Apart from losing unwanted weight, it also simplifies and eases the regulation of both blood pressure and sugar levels within a normal range.
The doctor individually evaluates the need for surgery for each patient.
When is bariatric surgery recommended?
Body mass index or BMI is one of the most popular indicators to measure the level, or in some cases, severity of obesity. Using the BMI scale, the ratio of body weight to height is taken into account. It is obtained by dividing body weight (in kilograms) by the square of the person’s height (in meters). For example, a woman who is 1.75 m in height and 60 kg in weight will have a BMI of:
60 / (1,75)2 = 19,59.
BMI calculation formula: BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height (m)2
According to the accepted guidelines, it is considered that BMI of 18.5 to 24.99 indicates normal body weight. If BMI is higher, it is classified as overweight, to obese. To be eligible for bariatric surgery, a patient must have a body mass index (BMI) of at least 34 and higher.
Body mass index calculator
| BMI (kg/m2) | |
| Underweight | BMI < 18,5 |
| Normal body weight | BMI = 18,5 – 24,99 |
| Excess weight | BMI = 25 – 29,99 |
| Obesity | BMI > 30 |
