Our Weight Loss Surgery Options
At GMS Cyprus, we offer a range of weight loss surgeries, including laparoscopic duodenal switch, gastric sleeve, and gastric bypass. The duodenal switch reduces stomach size and bypasses part of the intestine, ideal for long-term results. All procedures are minimally invasive, ensuring effective weight loss with personalized care and support.
Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve Plication Surgery
This is a revolutionary weight loss surgery that does not involve removing any part of the stomach. Instead, it uses sutures to create a smaller stomach sleeve, reducing its capacity. This method preserves the stomach’s natural nutrient absorption, making it an excellent alternative to other gastric surgeries.
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Known simply as the Gastric Sleeve, this procedure involves removing about 75% of the stomach to create a smaller “sleeve”-shaped pouch, approximately the size of a banana. Unlike some surgeries, it does not bypass the intestines or require implants.
Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass (RNY) Surgery
Often called the “gold standard” in bariatric surgery, the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass is a comprehensive approach combining restriction and malabsorption to aid in weight loss. It reduces the stomach size and reroutes food directly to the small intestine, bypassing part of the digestive system.
Laparoscopic Duodenal Switch Surgery
The Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD-DS) combines elements of the gastric sleeve and bypass for both restriction and malabsorption. It is a highly complex yet effective procedure, often resulting in patients losing 75-80% of excess weight.
Understanding Duodenal Switch Surgery with GMS Cyprus
The duodenal switch procedure, also known as Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD with DS), combines elements of gastric bypass and gastric sleeve surgeries. It reduces the size of the stomach, limits calorie intake, and alters the digestive process to minimize calorie absorption. This highly effective surgery helps most patients lose 75-80% of their excess weight and maintain it over time.

FAQ About Laparoscopic Duodenal Switch Surgery
Cyprus is a top destination for medical tourism, offering high-quality healthcare and expert duodenal surgery at affordable prices. At GMS Cyprus, you’ll receive care from top Israeli surgeons in a state-of-the-art facility. The cost of the duodenal switch procedure in Cyprus is often more budget-friendly than in other countries, without compromising the level of care. Plus, the peaceful Mediterranean environment provides an ideal setting for recovery, with personalized aftercare to ensure your success.
Successful long-term results require commitment to a healthier lifestyle. This includes regular exercise, attending support groups, and following a tailored nutritional plan. Consistent follow-ups and blood tests are essential to monitor your health and ensure you’re getting enough vitamins and nutrients.
After duodenal surgery, most patients stay in the hospital for up to four days and in a nearby hotel for 4–7 days. Recovery involves a liquid and pureed food diet for several weeks, transitioning to small solid meals over time. You can resume light activities, such as walking, shortly after the procedure and gradually return to more rigorous exercise with your doctor’s approval.
The duodenal switch is typically recommended for patients with a BMI of 50 or higher or those with serious obesity-related health issues such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Your surgeon will evaluate your medical history, weight loss goals, and overall health to determine if the duodenal switch procedure is the best fit for you. Book a consultation with our expert surgeons to explore whether this or another weight loss surgery is right for you.
Preparation includes completing a detailed bariatric questionnaire, adjusting your diet, and creating a supportive home environment. Our team will provide preoperative instructions to help you prepare physically and mentally. Nutritional and psychological counseling will also be part of the preparation process to ensure long-term success.
Post-surgery, you’ll need to follow a liquid diet initially, then transition to pureed, soft, and eventually solid foods. Meals should be small and nutrient-rich, avoiding high-fat and high-sugar foods. You’ll also need lifelong supplements, such as multivitamins, iron, calcium, and vitamin B12, to address malabsorption.
Duodenal switch surgery offers several advantages:
- – Greater long-term weight loss compared to other procedures.
- – Reduced risk of “dumping syndrome” compared to gastric bypass.
- – Allows for a more normal diet with fewer restrictions.
- – Significant improvement or resolution of obesity-related health conditions.
Testimonials
After a consultation with Dr. Amir, I was surprised to learn that my health insurance does not guarantee that he will be the surgeon to perform the procedure.
That is when I contacted GMS, who explained how I could have the surgery performed by the physician of my choice - which gave me peace of mind.
It is very important for me to share my experience as the service I received through GMS exceeded any similar experience in Israel:
From the beginning I was assigned a GMS representative from Israel, who explained in detail what my experience would be and answered all my questions about the operation and the treatment process. (Thanks, Roy!)
All I had to do was fill out the application form.
GMS representatives took care of everything themselves!
They contacted the insurance company on my behalf and even had them check the status of the application until the financial commitment for the surgery was received.
We agreed with on the surgical date, booked the flights at a convenient time for me and also dealt with the hotel reservation. The GMS staff even reviewed the menu and took any dietary restrictions into consideration on my behalf.
We were picked up from the airport in Larnaca, Cyprus where we met the wonderful Oria, who accompanied us throughout the entire visit and took care of every detail; from registration to preparation for the operation.
This is essentially a VIP service that made the entire experience relaxed and stress free. The assigned coordinators continued caring after my return to Israel. They were interested in my recuperation post operatively and also ensured all financial matters were dealt with; all this, by the way, without any commissions or payouts on my part, but directly with my insurance. In a word - an amazing experience! In short - I recommend it!
Thank to GMS, thank you Roy, thank you Uriah and thank you Dr. Oron.
I needed a unique procedure which is not performed in Israel and I turned to them.
Over a telephone conversation with GMS representative Roy, I felt caring attention and confidence that he would help in everything. He accompanied us throughout the entire process, before the flight and even after.
In addition to Roy, we would like to sincerely thank Oriya, our allocated Israeli speaking patient coordinator of the company in Cyprus.
Even before our departure, Oriya was in touch with us helping with any issues and made sure that we arrived fully prepared - taking into account the smallest details; even to the point of finding out our food preferences, and despite the late hour of our arrival at the hotel, she ensured an exquisite meal was waiting for us in the room. Oriya greeted us upon arrival and truly made us feel like we were her personal guests. She accompanied us throughout the entire day of the operation - attentively, with endless care and continued patience.
I felt like I had a good friend with me in the hospital. This kind of treatment doesn’t happen very often... At the end of the day we parted, hugging each other, and Oriya gave recommendations on where to go and what to do in the time remaining before returning home.
I just don't have enough words to thank GMS and Oriya for everything. I can only recommend with a reassurance that those who need it should use their services.
Roy – thank you for your patience, quick responses (minutes!), availability, caring and clear explanations! You are inimitable! Oriya - you are amazing! Thank you for every smile, hug, help, guidance, explanation... really! You are simply amazing!
Every time I was asked by friends and family about the surgery, I immediately started talking about your amazing service! I felt warmth and love, and everyone who was with me felt the same! We never stop talking about you, and really, only good things!
You have entered our hearts! Thank you very much for everything! I hope to see you in the future, under different circumstances.
