A private conversation with an obesity care professional
A useful starting point

Your BMI starts a conversation. It does not define you.

A useful starting point

Check your BMI

BMI can help start a conversation, but it does not decide treatment on its own.

Your BMI34.6

This is within obesity class 1.

BMI is interpreted with clinical judgement and may use different thresholds for some ethnic backgrounds.

05Questions before travel

Clear answers before a major decision.

Your first conversation should help you understand your options, not pressure you into a procedure.

01Who leads bariatric surgery at Florya Obesity Center?

Obesity surgery is led by Dr Kenan Afilitak, a General Surgery Specialist whose clinical focus includes bariatric and metabolic surgery, laparoscopic surgery and digestive surgery.

02Can I travel from the UK for bariatric surgery?

International treatment needs careful planning. Before you travel, you should know who will operate, what your hospital pathway includes, how complications are managed and how follow-up will continue once you return home.

03How is the right obesity treatment chosen?

A clinical assessment considers your BMI, weight history, metabolic health, reflux, medicines, previous surgery, eating patterns and personal goals. A particular procedure should never be assumed before that review.

04Is bariatric surgery a guaranteed solution?

No. Bariatric surgery can be an effective treatment for obesity, but outcomes vary. Long-term nutrition, supplements, physical activity and clinical monitoring remain important after treatment.

05What is included in the package from £1,800?

Your written personal quote can include the agreed hospital pathway, required pre-operative tests, hotel accommodation, airport and hospital transfers, an English-speaking coordinator and planned follow-up. Flights, travel insurance and clinically required extras are not included unless stated in writing.

06Is £1,800 the final price for every patient?

No. £1,800 is a starting package price. Your final quote depends on treatment suitability, medical history, required tests, length of stay and any additional clinical needs identified during assessment.
