Our Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery Options
At GMS, we offer a range of minimally invasive weight loss procedures, including laparoscopic gastric plication and sleeve gastrectomy. Each procedure is designed to reduce stomach size and help you manage your food intake effectively.
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 Gastric Plication Surgery with GMS Cyprus
Gastric Plication is a cutting-edge bariatric procedure that reduces stomach size by suturing instead of removing tissue. This minimally invasive surgery preserves nutrient absorption while promoting effective weight loss.

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.
