Before you Travel
Medical Travel Coordinator
Our Medical Travel Coordinator (MTC) is the first person you will talk to, from the very beginning of your contact with us. Consider your MTC as your personal friend, and the person who will arrange all issues concerning your trip and stay in Greece. You will meet your MTC personally on your arrival in Greece; she will speak your language, and will be the same person you talked to before.
She will make sure that you have a pleasant stay in Greece and will help you solve every problem that may occur during this period. She will be your 24/7 friend and will be responsible for you before, during and also after you return back home. Your Medical Travel Coordinator will help you take your first step before you travel to in Greece. The first step being choosing and communicating with your bariatric surgeon.
Your surgeon will help you choose the best bariatric procedure that fits your lifestyle. Additionally your surgeon will analyze and explain every issue concerning your weight loss operation and he will answer any possible queries you may have.
Consequently, your MTC will arrange for you to contact with our clinical doctor, who will note your medical history and take down your medical profile data. The clinical doctor will ask questions about your past or present medical problems, previous operations, possible medications you might take, drug or food allergies and other useful medical information. Possibly he might possibly ask for additional clinical examinations or laboratory tests, which you should perform before you travel to Greece.
​
Next step would be to communicate with our clinical dietitian. She will ask you questions about your dietary profile, such as how many meals you have, what quantities you consume, if you have a tendency to eat sweets or fatty foods etc. She will also write down all your previous weight loss efforts and the weight loss results you accomplished.
You may consider communication, one of our main priorities. You can always have direct communication with your surgeon or any other member of the medical or organizing team whenever you so wish.
​
A few other things to do and you are ready to go

Before you plan your travel to Greece, we will ask you to inform us about your social security agency and if any, your private insurance company. This will enable us to make all the appropriate arrangements so that your bariatric procedure will be approved and covered by your insurance.

Depending on your country of origin, you might need a passport and a visa. Consider asking for information at the nearest Greek Consulate to your residence.
