A Non-Surgical, Reversible Weight Loss Solution
The Gastric Clip is an innovative bariatric procedure designed for individuals seeking a less invasive and reversible alternative to traditional weight loss surgery. By placing a small clip on the stomach, the BARI Clip reduces the stomach’s capacity, helping patients eat less and feel full sooner—without removing or bypassing any part of the digestive tract.
🩺 What Is a Gastric BARI Clip?
The Gastric BARI Clip is a minimally invasive bariatric procedure performed laparoscopically. During the operation, a specialized device—called a BARI Clip—is placed around the stomach, creating a smaller functional pouch. This limits food intake and slows gastric emptying, leading to effective weight loss while preserving the natural anatomy of the digestive system.
Unlike sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass, the BARI Clip does not involve cutting or stapling the stomach or rerouting the intestines. It is fully reversible, making it an attractive choice for patients who want flexibility in their weight loss journey.
🩺 Types of Gastric BARI Clip Procedures
- Standard Gastric BARI Clip – Focused on reducing stomach volume to support long-term weight loss.
- Adjustable Gastric BARI Clip – Designed with adjustable tension, allowing surgeons to fine-tune restriction based on the patient’s progress and comfort.
🩺 Who Is a Good Candidate?
The Gastric BARI Clip is ideal for:
- Patients with a BMI between 30–40 who struggle with obesity and have not succeeded with diet and exercise alone.
- Individuals seeking a non-permanent or reversible weight loss procedure.
- Those who prefer a less invasive option without stomach removal or intestinal rerouting.
- Patients with obesity-related health conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea.
🩺 Consultation & Preparation
Before the Gastric BARI Clip procedure, patients undergo a thorough consultation and evaluation:
- Full medical history review and physical examination.
- Pre-operative tests, including bloodwork, EKG, and imaging studies.
- Nutritional and psychological evaluation to assess readiness.
- Pre-surgery instructions such as fasting guidelines, adjusting medications, and preparing for anesthesia.
- International Plus provides personalized guidance to ensure every patient is fully prepared for the procedure.
🩺 Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery from a Gastric BARI Clip is generally smooth and quicker than more invasive bariatric surgeries:
- Long-term support includes nutritional counseling, exercise plans, and medical monitoring.
- Patients usually stay 2–3 days in Istanbul for monitoring and follow-up.
- Most return to normal social activity within 1 week.
- A graduated diet plan begins with liquids, progressing to soft foods, then regular meals.
- Follow-up appointments ensure the clip is functioning correctly and weight loss is on track.
