Bariatric/Metabolic & Weight Loss Surgery in Armenia (Medical Tourism)

My name is Levon Grigoryan, and I provide minimally invasive (laparoscopic, robotic) bariatric and metabolic surgery services, as well as general and oncological surgery, in Yerevan, Armenia, with a strong focus on medical tourism for international patients seeking safe, effective, and affordable weight-loss treatments and surgery.

I specialize in the surgical treatment of obesity and metabolic disorders, using modern, minimally invasive techniques that follow internationally accepted medical standards. Bariatric surgery is not only about weight reduction—it is about improving overall health, mobility, metabolism, and long-term quality of life.

I currently practice at Slavmed Medical Center, where I also serve as the Head of the Endoscopy Department. All procedures are performed in a fully equipped medical environment that meets the needs of international patients traveling for treatment.

Services Offered

• Bariatric (weight-loss) surgery

• Diabetes surgery, which is the most effective treatment for type 2 diabetes and may result in remission (being able to stop taking all medications) or improvement in nearly all cases.
• Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery

• Metabolic surgery for obesity-related conditions

• Digestive Surgery -upper and lower minimally invasive gastrointestinal surgery for benign and malignant disease
  
  
• Advanced minimally invasive abdominal wall surgery for diastasis recti, primary and incisional abdominal wall hernias

• Gastrointestinal endoscopy (diagnostic & therapeutic)

• General and oncologic laparoscopic and robotic surgery

Whenever possible, I use laparoscopic and robotic approaches, which help reduce surgical trauma, shorten hospital stays, and allow faster recovery—an important factor for medical tourists.

Medical Tourism Approach

For international patients, I offer a clear and structured treatment process, including:

• Online consultation and medical record review

• Individualized surgical planning

• Hospital-based surgery with professional postoperative care

• Guidance for recovery and follow-up after returning home

Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan based on medical history, body mass index (BMI), associated health conditions, and long-term goals. Transparency, safety, and realistic expectations are key principles of my practice.

Education & International Standards

I graduated from Yerevan State Medical University after Mkhitar Heratsi and continuously participate in international training programs and medical congresses. I am a member of the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) and other European surgical societies, ensuring that my work aligns with global best practices. I am also the president of the Society of Armenian Minimally Invasive Surgeons.

Armenia offers international patients:

• High-quality surgical care

• Experienced specialists

• Modern medical facilities

• More accessible treatment costs compared to many Western countries

My goal is to provide reliable, ethical, and result-oriented bariatric surgery for patients traveling from abroad, helping them achieve lasting health improvements in a safe medical environment.
