Any expenses incurred are paid by Bariatric Services. As a prerequisite, the treatment must be carried out at Bariatric Services' hospital.
• Late Complications Management: Bariatric Services also takes responsibility for additional medical measures (including surgical treatment) that are necessary in situations where post-operative health status significantly impairs the quality of life of the patient, except for lower weight loss than expected, weight gain, or problems caused by excess skin. As a prerequisite, the treatment must be carried out at Bariatric Services' hospital.
