Transform Your Health, Transform Your Life: Bariatric Surgery at WIH Hospital Bangkok
Are you carrying the burden of excess weight, experiencing its impact on your health, energy, and overall quality of life? You’re not alone. For many, diet and exercise alone aren’t enough to overcome severe or morbid obesity. If you’re seeking a powerful and lasting solution, bariatric surgery offers a proven path to profound transformation. At WIH Hospital Bangkok, we believe in empowering you to achieve your healthiest self. Our world-class bariatric surgery program combines cutting-edge medical expertise with compassionate, personalized care, guiding you towards sustainable weight loss and a vibrant new future.
Is Bariatric Surgery Right for Your Weight Loss Journey?
Bariatric surgery, also known as obesity surgery or metabolic surgery, is a highly effective treatment for individuals with severe obesity and related health conditions. It’s not a quick fix, but a life-changing tool that requires commitment to new habits.
You might be a candidate for bariatric surgery if you meet certain criteria, typically involving your Body Mass Index (BMI):
- BMI of 40 or higher: This indicates severe obesity.
- BMI of 35 or higher: If accompanied by significant obesity-related health problems such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, severe sleep apnea, or joint pain.
- Previous attempts at physician-supervised weight loss that haven’t yielded sustainable results.
Our expert team at WIH Hospital Bangkok will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if bariatric surgery is the safest and most effective option for your unique health profile.
Discover Life-Changing Bariatric Procedures at WIH Hospital
WIH Hospital offers advanced bariatric procedures, each tailored to individual needs and health goals. Our surgeons are skilled in the latest techniques, prioritizing your safety and optimal outcomes.
Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy)
The gastric sleeve procedure (or sleeve gastrectomy) involves removing approximately 75-80% of the stomach, creating a smaller, sleeve-shaped pouch. This limits food intake and reduces hunger-producing hormones. It’s a highly effective option for substantial and sustainable weight loss.

Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)
Gastric bypass surgery involves creating a small stomach pouch and then re-routing a portion of the small intestine. This limits both food intake and nutrient absorption, leading to significant weight loss and powerful improvements in obesity-related conditions like diabetes.
Gastric Balloon: A Non-Surgical Option
For those seeking a less invasive approach, the gastric balloon offers a temporary, non-surgical solution for weight loss. A soft, inflatable balloon is endoscopically placed into the stomach and filled with saline, occupying space to create a feeling of fullness and reduce food intake. This procedure helps kickstart your weight loss journey and aids in establishing healthier eating habits without permanent changes to your anatomy. The balloon is typically removed after six months.
Beyond the Scale: The Profound Benefits of Bariatric Surgery
The impact of bariatric surgery extends far beyond just weight loss. It’s an investment in your long-term health, vitality, and quality of life.
- Dramatic Health Improvements: Many patients experience partial or complete remission of serious obesity-related conditions, including Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, and acid reflux.
- Increased Energy & Mobility: Losing significant weight reduces strain on joints, improves stamina, and allows you to enjoy activities you once found challenging.
- Enhanced Confidence & Mental Well-being: Patients often report a boost in self-esteem, reduced depression and anxiety, and a greater sense of well-being.
- Longer, Healthier Life: Studies show bariatric surgery can significantly extend life expectancy for individuals with morbid obesity.
- Sustainable Results: When combined with committed lifestyle changes, bariatric surgery offers the most effective long-term solution for obesity treatment and weight management.
