Obesity Treatment & Medical Weight Loss
Gastric Balloon (Non-Surgical Weight Loss)
Overview: The gastric balloon is a safe, non-surgical procedure designed for individuals seeking to lose 10–25% of their body weight. A soft, silicone balloon is inserted into the stomach via endoscopy and filled with saline to occupy space, helping patients feel full faster and reduce calorie intake.
Before, During & After: A comprehensive consultation and nutritional assessment precedes the 20-minute outpatient procedure. Patients return home the same day. The balloon remains for 6 months, during which personalized diet and lifestyle coaching continues remotely. Removal is equally fast and uncomplicated.
Travel Planning: A 2–3 day stay in Greece is recommended.
Cost: From €2,400.
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)
Overview: ESG is a minimally invasive procedure that mimics a surgical sleeve gastrectomy but requires no incisions. Using endoscopic suturing, the stomach is reshaped and reduced in size, limiting food intake and appetite. Ideal for patients with BMI between 30–40.
Before, During & After: The procedure lasts 60–90 minutes under sedation. Patients typically stay one night in a clinic and resume light activity within days. Continued follow-up includes nutritional and psychological support.
Travel Planning: A 5-day stay is advised, including follow-up.
Cost: From €5,900.
Medical Weight Loss Program (Multidisciplinary)
Overview: This program offers a personalized, non-invasive pathway to sustained weight loss through a combination of medical evaluation, nutrition planning, psychological support, exercise therapy, and—if appropriate—pharmaceutical intervention (GLP-1 agonists). It includes the initiation of medical treatment (e.g., GLP-1 therapy, metabolic boosters) based on a detailed clinical assessment and laboratory diagnostics. Ongoing follow-up is provided by specialized internists and endocrinologists, with continuous monitoring and remote support to ensure optimal treatment response and safety.
Before, During & After: Initial teleconsultation and lab testing guide your in-clinic kickoff session in Greece. Ongoing remote coaching and follow-ups ensure long-term success. No downtime required.
Travel Planning: 2–4 days for the program start; follow-ups via telemedicine.
Cost: From €650.
