What a bariatric surgery clinic treats
Bariatric, or weight-loss, surgery is offered to eligible patients with obesity and related health risks such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnoea, usually after other measures have not achieved sufficient results. Procedures include sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. Surgery is one part of a broader programme that involves careful pre-surgical assessment, dietary change and long-term follow-up. Suitability is decided case by case against recognised clinical criteria.
How to choose a bariatric surgery clinic in Singapore
Choose surgeons registered with the Singapore Medical Council and, where applicable, listed on the Register of Specialists, operating in accredited facilities. Structured assessment and ongoing support matter as much as the operation itself.

Getting there
Bariatric surgery is performed in hospitals, including restructured public hospitals and private hospitals in belts such as Novena (Novena MRT, near Mount Elizabeth Novena) and the wider Orchard area (Orchard MRT). Consultations may take place in attached specialist clinics. Check each clinic’s and hospital’s address, nearest MRT and parking before attending.
Costs and financing
For eligible patients, bariatric surgery for medical reasons may attract subsidies in the public system and partial coverage under MediSave, MediShield Life or Integrated Shield Plans, all within set limits and approval criteria. A GP or polyclinic referral can help with subsidised pathways. Coverage is not automatic and excludes purely cosmetic intent, so confirm eligibility and the full cost with the clinic and your insurer.
Common questions
Am I eligible for bariatric surgery?
Eligibility is based on clinical criteria, including weight and obesity-related conditions, and is decided after a full medical assessment.
Can I use MediSave or insurance?
For medically indicated surgery, MediSave, MediShield Life or Integrated Shield Plans may apply within set limits. Confirm approval and any out-of-pocket portion in advance.
What follow-up is involved?
Long-term dietary, nutritional and lifestyle follow-up is essential for safe, lasting results and should be part of the programme.
