Bariatric surgery is designed to help you achieve significant and lasting weight loss. These procedures works by altering your digestive system, either reducing your stomach size or changing how nutrients are absorbed, to help you feel full faster and eat less overall. By curbing appetite and controlling food intake, bariatric surgery facilitates rapid weight reduction and also helps resolve obesity-related conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
With a strong commitment to lifestyle changes and ongoing medical support, bariatric surgery can transform your health and quality of life.

Bariatric Surgery Questions, Answered
Clear answers to the questions we hear most about bariatric surgery in Kenya.
At Nords Weight Loss Clinic, the standard package price for both gastric sleeve and gastric bypass surgery is KES 750,000, which covers the surgery, surgeon, and anaesthetist fees, hospital stay (1-2 days), medications, laboratory tests, and post-surgery dietary and support services.
Eligibility depends on a full medical and psychological assessment rather than strictly a weight number alone. Generally, patients with a BMI of 35 or higher plus obesity-related health conditions (such as type 2 diabetes or sleep apnea) are considered.
Several risks and long-term obligations are associated with bariatric surgery: nutritional deficiencies (iron, B12, calcium), permanent anatomical changes (especially in gastric bypass), possibility of complications (bleeding, infection, leaks), and the need for lifelong follow-up with dietitians and supplementation.
Long-term studies show some patients may experience weight regain, new reflux disease, or require revision surgery if not carefully monitored post-surgery. Ongoing monitoring and healthy habits are vital.
The National Hospital Insurance Fund, NHIF (Now SHA), does not cover bariatric surgeries. Some private health policies cover bariatric surgeries, but it is usually at the discretion of the policy provider and the client. Patients should check with their policy providers about bariatric surgery coverage, and of they agree to it, then yes, Nords Weight Loss Clinic will accept their health cover as payment.
Yes, bariatric surgery at Nords delivers substantial, sustained weight loss (for example, 30% of excess weight with bypass) and significant improvements in obesity-related conditions (diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea). The value depends on choosing the right procedure and committing to lifelong follow-up.
You can lose about 15% to 20% of your total weight with a gastric balloon.
