Weight loss surgery works by changing your stomach’s size and sometimes rerouting your intestines to:
Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)
This procedure creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes part of the small intestine, restricting food intake and reducing nutrient absorption. It often results in 60–80% excess weight loss in 12–18 months. It is especially effective for patients with severe type 2 diabetes, acid reflux, or higher BMI.
Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy)
This procedure removes about 70–80% of the stomach, reducing its size and lowering levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin. Patients typically lose 60–70% of their excess body weight within 12–18 months. It is ideal for people who want significant weight loss without intestinal rerouting.
You may be eligible for weight loss surgery if:
People who are not yet ready to commit to dietary changes, follow-up visits, or supplementation may need to delay surgery until they are fully prepared.
As with any surgery, there are potential risks including bleeding, infection, blood clots, and nutrient deficiencies. NBC minimizes these risks through experienced surgeons, comprehensive pre-op assessments, strict surgical safety protocols, and lifelong follow-up care. Patients receive guidance on diet, supplementation, and activity to maintain their health after surgery.

“My only regret is not doing this sooner! I had tried it all with no success. With the Gastric Bypass, after just 1 month I lost 14kgs and I am well on the journey to my ideal weight.”
“I have managed.. After the first few weeks adjusting to the new habits of eating it was pretty much routine. I was 113kgs and now I’m 63 and maintaining for the past 5 years! I feel so much lighter, more energetic. Much happier than before; I’m so much more confident and healthy. My life has been transformed.”
Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery is suitable for:
If your BMI is lower than 30, but you are not comfortable with your weight, there are options. If you have tried different weight loss methods but nothing seems to work, we offer our unique course of “Psychological Correction of Eating Habits” that helps you to address psychological factors as well as your nutrition and eating behavior. In addition, you can opt for gastric balloon procedure, which is a bariatric surgery alternative. A soft expandable silicone balloon is inserted into the stomach through the mouth and filled with sterile water to take up space in your stomach. The balloon creates a feeling of fullness and you are satisfied after eating smaller amounts of food as you are used to. It helps in controlling your hunger as well as reduce your portion sizes, which leads to consumption of fewer calories, making you lose weight.
When it comes to weight loss surgery, no BMI is too high. The main goal of the procedures we offer is to help patients achieve a healthy weight. However, please note that if your BMI is higher than 50, the surgeon will ask you to lose more weight before the surgery than what is required for patients with a lower BMI.
When you get a gastroscopy, the doctor checks your stomach for diaphragmatic esophageal hernia, which may lead to reflux after surgery. If a hernia is found, it is repaired during the gastric bypass procedure.
We recommend that our patients consult their personal doctors before leaving for treatment. Most doctors are aware of the main concerns of medical travel, so patients would greatly benefit from their advice and critical summary of your personal case.
To reserve a date for surgery, we ask our patients to transfer us a small deposit. The balance is paid at our clinic after your consultation with the surgeon. we accept payment by Bank Transfer (RTGS), cheque, MPESA, or cash, but not through card payments. Patients must prepare ahead of time to ensure payments are made by the deadlines to ensure their surgery goes ahead.
Some banks have specific policies about making transactions in foreign countries. If you plan on paying with your debit or credit card, please contact your bank to make any necessary adjustments, including increasing your payment card limit if necessary.
