Bariatric Surgery at Grandville Medical & Laser Group

Reclaim Your Health. Rediscover Your Life.
At Grandville Medical & Laser Group, we recognize that obesity is more than a number on a scale—it’s a complex medical condition that affects virtually every aspect of your health and quality of life. If you’ve tried to lose weight through diet, exercise, and other methods but have struggled to achieve lasting results, bariatric surgery could be the life-changing solution you’ve been searching for.
Bariatric (or weight-loss) surgery is a medically-proven intervention that helps patients lose significant weight, improve obesity-related health conditions, and enjoy a healthier, more active life. Our comprehensive bariatric program provides expert surgical care combined with long-term support to ensure safe, sustainable weight loss and improved overall well-being.
Understanding Obesity and Its Impact
Obesity is a chronic, progressive disease that increases the risk of serious health issues, including:
  • Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
  • Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
  • Sleep Apnea and Other Respiratory Problems
  • Heart Disease
  • Stroke
  • Certain Types of Cancer
  • Osteoarthritis and Joint Pain
  • Infertility
  • Mental Health Challenges (Depression, Anxiety, Low Self-Esteem)
These conditions often limit physical activity, impair quality of life, and reduce life expectancy. Bariatric surgery offers hope by addressing the root cause—excess weight—and providing the tools to reclaim your health.
What Is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery includes a variety of minimally invasive surgical procedures designed to help individuals lose excess weight by:
  • Reducing the size of the stomach (restricting the amount of food you can eat)
  • Altering the digestive process (reducing calorie and nutrient absorption)
  • Affecting hormonal signals that regulate appetite and metabolism
At Grandville, our multi-disciplinary bariatric team—including experienced surgeons, anesthesiologists, dietitians, psychologists, and nurses—works together to offer you personalized care before, during, and after surgery.
Types of Bariatric Surgery We Offer
1. Gastric Sleeve Surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy)
  • This procedure removes about 75-80% of the stomach, leaving a slender “sleeve” that restricts food intake.
  • It also decreases the hunger hormone ghrelin, reducing appetite.
  • Benefits: Significant and sustained weight loss, improvement in metabolic health conditions, and quicker recovery due to the minimally invasive laparoscopic approach.
2. Gastric Bypass Surgery (Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass)
  • This procedure creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes a portion of the small intestine.
  • It reduces both food intake and nutrient absorption, promoting rapid weight loss.
  • Benefits: Rapid improvement or resolution of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. It is considered the gold standard of weight-loss surgeries.
3. Mini Gastric Bypass
  • Similar to the traditional gastric bypass but involves a simplified surgical process.
  • Offers comparable results with shorter operative time and reduced risk of complications.
4. Intragastric Balloon
  • A non-surgical, temporary option for weight loss.
  • A saline-filled balloon is placed in the stomach via endoscopy to limit food intake.
  • Ideal for patients seeking a non-invasive weight-loss solution.

You may be eligible for bariatric surgery if you:
  • Have a BMI of 40 or higher, OR
  • Have a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions (diabetes, hypertension, etc.)
  • Have tried and failed to lose weight with traditional methods
  • Are 18-65 years old (exceptions may apply)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Bariatric Surgery

Your Questions, Answered
1. What is bariatric surgery?
Bariatric surgery refers to a range of surgical procedures that help people lose weight by altering the digestive system. These procedures work by restricting how much food you can eat, reducing nutrient absorption, or both. At Grandville Medical & Laser Group, we offer minimally invasive options like Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Bypass, Mini Gastric Bypass, and Intragastric Balloon.
2. How much weight can I expect to lose?
Most patients lose 50-80% of their excess body weight within the first 12-24 months after surgery. The exact amount depends on the type of surgery, adherence to dietary guidelines, and lifestyle changes. Long-term success relies on maintaining healthy habits.
3. Is bariatric surgery safe?
Yes, bariatric surgery is generally safe, especially when performed by experienced surgeons in accredited facilities like Grandville. However, like any surgical procedure, there are risks. Our team thoroughly evaluates each patient and minimizes risks with pre-operative planning and state-of-the-art surgical techniques.
4. Will I need to follow a special diet after surgery?
Yes. You’ll follow a structured diet plan that begins with liquids, progresses to pureed foods, then soft foods, and finally solid foods. Our dietitians will work closely with you to ensure proper nutrition, portion control, and long-term success.
5. How soon can I return to work or normal activities?
Most patients return to work and regular activities within 2-4 weeks, depending on the type of surgery and recovery process. We encourage light physical activity (like walking) as early as possible to promote healing.
6. Will I need to take vitamins or supplements after surgery?
Yes. After bariatric surgery, you may need lifelong supplementation of vitamins and minerals (such as Vitamin B12, Iron, Calcium, and Vitamin D) to prevent deficiencies. Our team will guide you on what to take and monitor your levels during follow-ups.
7. Can I become pregnant after bariatric surgery?
Yes. In fact, many women experience improved fertility after losing weight. However, we recommend waiting at least 12-18 months post-surgery before attempting pregnancy, as rapid weight loss during this period may affect fetal development. Our team provides guidance on family planning and maternal health.
8. Will my insurance cover bariatric surgery?
In Nigeria, most health insurance plans do not fully cover bariatric surgery, but we offer flexible payment plans at Grandville. Contact our office for more information about costs, payment options, and financing.
9. Will I have excess skin after losing weight?
Significant weight loss may result in loose or excess skin, especially in areas like the abdomen, arms, and thighs. At Grandville, we offer body contouring and plastic surgery options such as tummy tucks and arm lifts to help you achieve your ideal body shape after weight loss.
10. What kind of support does Grandville offer after surgery?
We provide comprehensive post-operative care, including:
•Nutritional counseling
•Psychological support
•Support groups and peer mentoring
•Follow-up consultations with your surgeon and multidisciplinary team
Our goal is to support you not just during surgery, but for life.

Amaka’s Weight Loss Journey: From Struggle to Triumph with Gastric Sleeve Surgery

“I didn’t just lose weight—I gained my life back.”
At 32 years old, Amaka O. felt trapped in a body she no longer recognized. Weighing 145 kilograms, she battled daily fatigue, pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, and joint pain that made even simple activities exhausting.
“I used to avoid mirrors because I didn’t recognize myself anymore,” she recalls. “My health was spiraling out of control, and no matter how hard I tried—diet plans, exercise regimens, weight-loss teas—nothing worked.”
Amaka had heard about bariatric surgery but was initially hesitant.
“I was scared. I thought, ‘Is surgery really for me?’ But then I realized, this wasn’t about looks—it was about my health, my future, and being present for my family.”
Taking the First Step: Consultation at Grandville Medical & Laser Group
After months of research, Amaka booked a consultation at Grandville Medical & Laser Group in Lekki.
“The first meeting changed everything for me. Dr. Aranmolate and his team were professional but also warm and empathetic. They listened. They explained every option, every risk, and every benefit. I finally felt hope.”
After comprehensive health screenings and discussions with the dietitian and psychologist, Amaka was cleared for Gastric Sleeve Surgery.
“It wasn’t just about surgery,” she says. “It was a complete lifestyle reset.”
The Surgery: A New Beginning
Amaka’s surgery was performed laparoscopically, which meant minimal scarring and faster recovery.
“I was nervous going into the theatre, but the entire team reassured me. I woke up feeling like I had taken the first step toward my new life.”
She spent two days in Grandville’s state-of-the-art recovery suite, where the team closely monitored her condition.
“The care was beyond anything I expected. The nurses were kind, the dietitian checked on me daily, and Dr. Aranmolate himself visited to make sure I was doing well.”
Life After Surgery: The Transformation Begins
The first few weeks after surgery weren’t easy.
“There’s a strict diet plan—liquids, then pureed foods, then solids—but the team guided me through each stage. The support was constant. I never felt alone.”
Within three months, Amaka lost 25 kilograms. By month six, she was down 40 kg, and at the one-year mark, she had lost 58 kg in total.
“I feel like a different person. My pre-diabetes is gone. My blood pressure is normal. I can climb stairs without feeling like I ran a marathon. My joint pain has disappeared.”
But the most powerful change was emotional.
“I can play with my niece and nephew. I go out with friends again. I walk into rooms with confidence instead of shame.”
The New Amaka: Healthy, Happy, and Empowered
Today, Amaka weighs 87 kilograms and maintains a healthy lifestyle. She continues to meet with Grandville’s nutrition team and attends support groups for post-bariatric patients.
“This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a lifelong commitment. But the team at Grandville gave me the tools, the support, and the second chance I desperately needed.”
Her message to others struggling with obesity:
“Don’t wait until it’s too late. Take control of your health. Bariatric surgery gave me my life back, and it can do the same for you.”
Amaka’s Key Takeaways
  • Total Weight Loss: 58 kg
  • Resolved Conditions: Pre-diabetes, hypertension, joint pain
  • Favorite NSV (Non-Scale Victory): “I walked into a boutique and bought clothes off the rack for the first time in years!”
  • Words of Wisdom: “It’s not about losing weight; it’s about gaining life.”

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Patient Preparation & Recovery Guide

Get Ready for a Flatter, Firmer Abdomen
A Tummy Tuck, or Abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tighten the abdominal muscles, resulting in a flatter, more toned midsection. Whether due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, many patients choose this procedure to regain confidence and improve their body contour.
At Grandville Medical & Laser Group, your safety, comfort, and results are our top priorities. Proper preparation and adherence to post-operative care instructions will ensure the best outcome.
How to Prepare for Your Tummy Tuck Surgery
4-6 Weeks Before Surgery
  • Schedule a consultation with your plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and expectations.
  • Complete all required lab tests and medical evaluations (blood work, ECG, etc.).
  • If you smoke, stop smoking immediately. Smoking severely impairs healing and increases complication risks.
  • Maintain a stable, healthy weight. Large weight fluctuations can affect your results.
2 Weeks Before Surgery
  • Stop taking blood thinners, aspirin, anti-inflammatory medications, and herbal supplements unless otherwise instructed.
  • Arrange for a trusted adult to drive you home after surgery and stay with you for at least 48-72 hours.
  • Prepare your recovery area with necessities:
  • Pillows for elevation (especially under knees and back)
  • Loose clothing
  • Post-op medications
  • Bottled water and healthy snacks
  • Compression garment (provided by Grandville)
1 Week Before Surgery
  • Confirm your surgery time and instructions with Grandville.
  • Stock up on healthy, easy-to-prepare meals.
  • Minimize alcohol consumption and hydrate well.
  • If your surgeon recommends pre-surgical bowel preparation, follow those instructions closely.
The Day Before Surgery
  • Do not eat or drink anything after midnight, unless otherwise directed.
  • Take a shower with antibacterial soap.
  • Get a good night’s sleep to be well-rested for your surgery.
On the Day of Surgery – What to Wear and Bring
  • Wear loose, comfortable clothing with a front-opening top.
  • Remove all jewelry, piercings, makeup, and nail polish.
  • Bring your photo ID and any necessary paperwork.
  • Bring your compression garment, if previously provided.
At the Clinic
  • Arrive at your scheduled time.
  • Our team will review the procedure, answer last-minute questions, and ensure you are comfortable.
  • Your surgeon may make markings on your abdomen before surgery.
Post-Operative Recovery: What to Expect
Immediately After Surgery
  • You will be moved to the recovery room, where you’ll be monitored.
  • You’ll have dressings on your incisions and be wearing a compression garment.
  • In some cases, surgical drains will be placed to remove excess fluids. Our team will teach you how to manage them.
  • You may go home the same day or stay overnight, depending on your specific case.
Your Recovery Timeline
Week 1: Rest and Gentle Movement
  • Expect swelling, bruising, and mild to moderate discomfort (managed with prescribed medication).
  • You’ll need help with daily activities.
  • Sleep in a reclined position or with pillows under your knees and back to reduce tension on your incision.
  • Walk around every few hours to improve circulation and prevent blood clots.
  • Empty drains as directed, and record the output.
  • Wear your compression garment at all times (except when showering) to minimize swelling.
Weeks 2-3: Gradual Increase in Activity
  • Sutures or staples may be removed (if not dissolvable).
  • You may begin light activities but avoid lifting anything heavy or straining your abdominal muscles.
  • Swelling and bruising will gradually subside.
  • Continue wearing your compression garment.
Weeks 4-6: Return to Normal Routine (With Caution)
  • Most patients return to work and light activities after 3-4 weeks.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for at least 6 weeks, or until cleared by your surgeon.
  • Scars will start to fade but may still be pink or firm.
  • Continue following a healthy diet and stay hydrated.
Months 3-6: Final Results Start to Show
  • Swelling continues to diminish.
  • Scars begin to flatten and lighten.
  • You’ll notice improved abdominal contour and tightness.
1 Year and Beyond
  • Final results are typically visible after 6-12 months.
  • Scars may continue to fade over time.
  • Maintain a stable weight to preserve your results.
Wound and Scar Care
  • Keep the incision site clean and dry.
  • Apply scar creams or silicone sheets (as advised).
  • Avoid sun exposure on the incision to prevent darkening of the scar.
  • Do not submerge incisions in water (baths, swimming pools) until cleared.
When to Call Grandville
  • Fever over 38°C
  • Excessive redness, swelling, or pus at incision sites
  • Persistent or severe pain not relieved by medication
  • Sudden swelling or pain in the legs
  • Shortness of breath or chest pain
  • Drain output that changes in color or increases suddenly
Dos and Don’ts After a Tummy Tuck
DO:
  • Wear your compression garment as instructed.
  • Stay hydrated and eat nutrient-rich meals (high protein for healing).
  • Walk short distances frequently.
  • Take medications exactly as prescribed.
  • Attend all follow-up appointments.
DON’T:
  • Smoke or use nicotine products.
  • Lift heavy objects or engage in vigorous exercise until cleared.
  • Skip wearing your compression garment.
  • Expose scars to sunlight or tanning beds.
  • Rush your recovery—healing takes time.
FAQs: Tummy Tuck Surgery
1. Will a tummy tuck help me lose weight?
A tummy tuck is not a weight-loss procedure. It removes excess skin and fat and tightens muscles for a firmer abdominal profile. Many patients experience better posture and improved core strength post-surgery.
2. Will I have scars?
Yes, there will be a scar that typically runs low across the abdomen, hidden by underwear or swimsuits. With time and proper care, the scar fades significantly.
3. Can I have a tummy tuck if I plan to get pregnant?
It’s best to have a tummy tuck after you’re finished having children. Pregnancy can stretch the skin and muscles, undoing the results.
Grandville’s Commitment to Your Care

Our expert plastic surgeons and nursing team will support you before, during, and long after your surgery.

What You Need To Know About Neck Lift

Neck Lift (Lower Rhytidectomy) at Grandville Medical Group

A neck lift, or lower rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that addresses visible signs of aging in the jawline and neck.

What a Neck Lift Can Treat:

  • Excess fat and skin laxity in the lower face causing jowls
  • Submental fat (double chin)
  • Loose neck skin (“turkey neck”)
  • Muscle banding in the neck

The loss of youthful contours in the face and neck can be caused by heredity, gravity, environmental factors, and stress. A neck lift can be a good option for individuals whose neck appearance doesn’t match their upper face. Read more “What You Need To Know About Neck Lift”

General Anaesthesia- Allay your fears

You might have heard cases of people waking up in the middle of a major surgery or people passing on from anaesthesia. As a surgeon, I get a lot of request from patients who are afraid to go under the General anaesthesia because of these incidences. They request to have their procedures done under Local Anaesthesia which leaves them widely awake but with partially deadened part of the body to be operated upon.

For patients who asks for this option of anaesthetic, I tell them that we do not employ that form of anaesthesia for certain procedures because of the following reasons: If Read more “General Anaesthesia- Allay your fears”

Thinking of Cosmetic Surgery

THINKING COSMETIC SURGERY ?

It is not uncommon to have people walk into the clinic for consultation holding tightly to a portrait of how they want to look immediately after waking up from anesthesia.”Doctor , this is how i want to look”. It would seem as though cosmetic surgery would transform an alligator into a butterfly.

People get cosmetic surgery for many reasons. Some want to look younger. Others seek to change a body feature they’ve never liked, some aim at restoring their confidence after losing their former selves to natural events like pregnancy, ageing or previous botched surgeries while some others just totally want to run away from themselves into a brand new body.

While the decision is a personal one, it is important to note Read more “THINKING COSMETIC SURGERY ?”

Demafix Skin

Take a Break… Give Your Skin a breather

I’ve met and related with hundreds of women in this profession and one thing I realized is that having a perfect body shape is just one of the many concerns women have regarding their body and perceived beauty.
Smooth and flawless skin is another source of women’s concern and obsession. For this reason, the average contemporary woman spends a small fortune on skincare products thereby making the cosmetic industry a million-dollar industry.

Skincare is an obsession for most women. Read more “Take a Break… Give Your Skin a breather”

Gynecomastia (Man Boobs)

I ran into an old secondary school mate the other day and we decided to catch up on old times. We laughed over a lot of things, over stupid pranks we played on each other as youngsters, over fights we had, and over all manna of mischievous activities. We also recalled how he was often teased on end over his “man boobs”.
Oh boy, we gave the guy some serious hard time and would often taunt him with girlish names. He joined us in JSS 3 and as a new student, he would often erupt into violent tempers and attempt to fight everyone but as he realised that students were not likely to relent, as long as he was a student in that school, he decided to stop fighting us, get used to it and even joined us in making fun of himself.
