Verified review.
My visit was not so perfect, they were not so professional as I wish. The doctor was good but we have large problems with communication and I feel how he felt uncomfortable about it but cannot do anything with it. That is why I denied to do the operation there and only have a consultation They do not know that I do not speak German but only English I want to say thank you to Lesya, her job was good.

"not just a world specialist, but also a sympathetic person who attentively and thoughtfully listened to my whole story"
Doctor with a capital letter After a long rush about doctors, I finally found Professor Schels - not just a world specialist, but also a sympathetic person who attentively and thoughtfully listened to my whole story, looked at the extracts and appointed additional examinations. All diagnostics took place extremely quickly and clearly. The prescribed treatment of Professor Scheels is working, this is the most important thing. Special thanks to the accompanying Vladimir for the clear translation and help in resolving all issues.

Stomach balloon is carried out in Sachsenhausen Surgery Clinic. The hospital is considered one of the best ones in Europe according to balloon surgery for weight loss reviews. The Clinic is among a few centers in Germany conducting this type of bariatric surgeries.

The procedure is minimally invasive. The hospitalization after the procedure is not required. A patient loses 40% of excess weight in 6 months after the gastric balloon. In half a year, a surgeon seizes the balloon from the stomach.

The balloon weight loss surgery cost in Sachsenhausen Hospital is 2 times lower than in American medical centers. The price includes consultation with a doctor and the procedure itself.
