At the Hôpital Privé Sud Corse, bariatric surgery is seen as much more than just a surgical procedure. It forms part of a comprehensive, personalised and multidisciplinary care pathway, designed to support each patient before, during and after their operation.
Obesity is a complex chronic condition that can have a significant impact on physical and psychological health, as well as on quality of life on a day-to-day basis. Where indicated, bariatric surgery is an effective treatment option, leading not only to sustainable weight loss but also to a significant improvement in many associated conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea and certain types of joint pain.
Surgical expertise dedicated to patients
Dr Jean-Marc Cucchi, a surgeon specialising in bariatric surgery as well as surgery for visceral, skin and endocrine cancers, supports patients throughout their treatment journey.
Each surgical indication is subject to a rigorous and individualised assessment. The aim is to offer care tailored to each patient’s needs, medical history and life plans.
Bariatric surgery, however, is only one step in the process. Its success depends above all on thorough preparation and long-term follow-up.
A Bariatric Day Hospital to prepare for and support change
Recognising that the transformation brought about by bariatric surgery extends far beyond the procedure itself, the Hôpital Privé Sud Corse has set up a Bariatric Day Hospital (HDJ) dedicated to providing pre- and post-operative care for patients.
In particular, this support enables you to:
- to understand the implications of surgery and its consequences; ;
- prepare for the necessary dietary and behavioural changes; ;
- receive personalised medical and paramedical care; ;
- to prevent the risk of complications and nutritional deficiencies; ;
- to promote sustainable weight loss and an improved quality of life; ;
- to support patients as they regain control of their bodies, their health and their wellbeing.
Our Bariatric Day Hospital is based on a multidisciplinary approach bringing together various healthcare professionals, all of whom are convinced that comprehensive support is one of the key factors in the success of the treatment programme.
A people-centred approach at every stage
Opting for bariatric surgery is an important decision that requires a listening ear, trust and support. At the Hôpital Privé Sud Corse, we have chosen to adopt a patient-centred approach, where every patient receives coordinated, compassionate care tailored to their needs.
Although a surgical procedure lasts only a few hours, a life-changing recovery takes time; our teams are on hand before, during and after the operation to help each patient regain their health and quality of life on a long-term basis.
