Swiss Centre for Metabolic Health & Weight Management

Precision Medicine. Lasting Transformation.

The Swiss Centre for Metabolic Health and Weight Management provides physician-led programs offering both non-surgical medical weight management and bariatric surgery, tailored to each patient's profile and goals. Our clinical lead brings more than 25 years of medical experience, including over 10 years working with GLP-1 agonist therapy.

Personal assessment - Tailored therapy

Every program starts with an comprehensive medical assessment and in-depth evaluation of metabolic function, cardiovascular risk, hormonal health and body composition — with body composition analysis a core part of our approach since the center’s founding, and cardiovascular risk assessment informed by our team's background in cardiovascular rehabilitation. Our multidisciplinary team builds a personalized care plan based on the findings and in close collaboration with the individual patient addressing metabolism, and activity, but also situational and cultural aspects.

Following the assessment, we determine the most appropriate treatment approach.

Bariatric surgery is a clinically proven, highly effective minimally invasive surgical treatment for significant and sustained weight loss, using internationally recognized techniques and full pre- and post-operative support.

Surgery marks the start of treatment, not the end. Nutritional guidance, rehabilitation, psychological support and regular review continues afterward.

We support you together with the surgeons in deciding what will be the best option for you (medical treatment vs. surgical options) and what surgical options would be to be considered. As overweight often comes along with other medical problems, we are there to support you for the pre-operative assessment but also for ongoing support during the time of the hospital stay as well as for the time after discharge.
