Our bariatric procedures
These four procedures fall under bariatric surgery. Each has its own goal, recovery time and expected results. Detailed information is available on the dedicated pages.
Mini Bypass
The mini bypass has a shorter procedure time and a predictable recovery. Results are similar to a full bypass.
Gastric Bypass
The stomach is reduced and the digestive route is adjusted. This can support major weight loss and improve related health issues.
Gastric Sleeve
A part of the stomach is removed which reduces appetite. This minimally invasive technique suits patients who want consistent weight loss.
Intragastric Balloon
A soft balloon is placed in the stomach without surgery. It takes space, reduces hunger and helps you start losing weight.
Your treatment journey
Every step is planned before you travel. Nothing is left to chance. Here is what your bariatric surgery journey with German Select looks like.
You discuss your goals, medical history, and prior weight-loss attempts with your surgeon. Together you review which bariatric procedure suits your profile. Gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, mini bypass, or intragastric balloon. The consultation takes place online at a time that suits you, in English or German. No commitment to proceed. Your coordinator sends a written summary before you decide.
Before your procedure, your coordinator arranges all necessary blood work, cardiovascular screening, and pre-operative assessments. These can be completed at your local GP or hospital before travel, or on arrival in Egypt. Your surgeon reviews all results and confirms your procedure and surgical plan in writing before you fly.
Your procedure is performed by a German-trained bariatric surgeon in an internationally certified clinic in Hurghada. The operating team includes specialist anaesthesia and nursing staff. Post-operative care begins immediately after surgery, with 24/7 medical monitoring during your clinical stay of 2–3 nights.
After clinical discharge, you recover at a five-star resort on the Red Sea in Hurghada. Warm climate, calm environment, medical team on call. Daily check-ins, dietary guidance, wound care, and mobility support are all included throughout your recovery stay. Your coordinator is available at all times.
After returning home, structured digital follow-up continues for a minimum of three months. Your surgeon reviews your progress at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months post-procedure. Your home physician receives a full operative report and aftercare plan. Your coordinator remains your point of contact for any questions throughout the programme.
