Weight Loss Surgery – A New Hope for Nigerians Battling Obesity
Obesity is no longer just a problem in Western countries — it is a growing concern in Nigeria. Urban lifestyles, reduced physical activity, and changes in diet have contributed to rising rates of overweight and obesity. This comes with serious health risks such as:
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Type 2 diabetes
- Heart disease
- Joint problems and reduced mobility
- Sleep apnea
- Lower quality of life
For many Nigerians, weight loss surgery offers a life-changing solution when traditional diet and exercise have failed.
Types of Weight Loss Surgeries Available at Trust Charitos Hospital Abuja
- Gastric Sleeve Surgery: Removes part of the stomach, reducing its size so patients feel full quicker.
- Gastric Bypass Surgery: Creates a smaller stomach pouch and reroutes digestion, leading to both reduced intake and absorption.
- Gastric Band: An adjustable band placed around the stomach to create a smaller food pouch.
- Gastric Balloon: A non-surgical option where a balloon is inserted into the stomach to reduce appetite (temporary).
- Improved Health: Many patients see improvement or resolution of conditions like diabetes and hypertension within months.

Obesity in Nigeria: Why It Matters
The rise in obesity is not just about appearance — it’s about health and survival. Studies show that obesity increases the risk of stroke, infertility, cancer, and even early death. Sadly, many Nigerians live with obesity-related illnesses without knowing that effective medical solutions exist. At Trust Charitos Hospital, we are changing that narrative by offering safe, modern weight loss surgeries that have already transformed lives around the world.
Who is Eligible for Weight Loss Surgery?
Not everyone struggling with weight automatically needs surgery. Our specialists carefully evaluate each patient. Generally, candidates include:
Individuals with a BMI of 35 or higher (with obesity-related health conditions like diabetes or hypertension).
Those with a BMI of 40 or higher, even without other conditions.
Patients who have tried diet, exercise, and medication without lasting results.
Every case is unique, which is why we provide a personalized care plan tailored to each patient’s medical history, lifestyle, and goals.
