If you have struggled with obesity despite dieting, exercising, or other weight-loss efforts, bariatric surgery in Nairobi may offer a medically supervised path to significant and lasting weight loss.
Dr. Lance Mayabi is a bariatric and laparoscopic surgeon in Nairobi offering personalised weight-loss treatment based on your health, weight, medical history and goals.
What Is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery refers to procedures that help with weight loss by changing the size of the stomach and, in some procedures, the way food moves through the digestive system.
The goal is not simply to lose weight. Bariatric surgery can also help improve obesity-related health problems and support a healthier quality of life.
At Dr. Lance Mayabi’s practice, treatment options include laparoscopic gastric sleeve and gastric bypass, alongside non-surgical weight-loss options for suitable patients.
Bariatric Surgery Options in Nairobi
Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve
Gastric sleeve surgery reduces the size of the stomach, helping you feel full with smaller portions. It is performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques.
Learn more about laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery and whether it may be suitable for you.
Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass creates a smaller stomach pouch and changes the digestive pathway. It is an established bariatric procedure for significant weight loss and may also help manage certain obesity-related conditions.

Who May Benefit From Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery may be considered for people with obesity who have not achieved sufficient or lasting results through conventional weight-loss methods.
Your suitability depends on several factors, including your BMI, medical history, existing health conditions and previous weight-loss attempts.
The right procedure should always be determined after a medical assessment rather than by choosing a procedure based on weight alone.
