Bariatric Surgery — Measurable Results and Improved Quality of Life

This story is not only about weight loss. It is an example of the right medical decision, teamwork, and a real improvement in the patient’s quality of life.

Following bariatric (gastric reduction) surgery performed by surgeon Hakob Shmavonyan, the patient lost approximately 80 kg.

Bariatric surgery is indicated in cases where excess weight becomes a serious health issue and conservative weight-loss methods do not provide sufficient results. It may be considered when the Body Mass Index (BMI) is 35 or higher in the presence of accompanying diseases. In many cases, obesity is also associated with diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, sleep apnea, joint pain, fatty liver disease, and other metabolic disorders.

The goal of the surgery is not only weight reduction, but also the decrease of obesity-related health risks, improvement of mobility, and enhancement of overall quality of life.

At “Vardanants” Center for Innovative Medicine, the surgery is performed using modern laparoscopic methods after preliminary examinations and professional consultation.

Change begins with professional consultation — book an appointment with a surgeon.
