Your site loads at 11pm. A 38-year-old woman enters her weight into a BMI calculator, sees "gastric sleeve candidate," and clicks a calendar. That's bariatric surgery website development — digital platforms engineered for the emotional arc between shame and hope. Your patients arrive vulnerable, comparing themselves to before/after photos, calculating monthly payments for a $15,000 procedure, and wondering if their insurance covers a surgery their PCP never mentioned. Generic medical templates treat bariatric like dermatology. They miss the 2am browser who needs a weight loss projection calculator, a "Am I a Candidate?" quiz with instant lead capture, procedure-specific landing pages for gastric sleeve vs. bypass vs. revision surgery, HIPAA-compliant galleries organized by starting BMI, GLP-1 content positioning you against Hims and Ro, and insurance eligibility checkers that remove the biggest barrier to consultation. Without these tools, your site becomes clinical brochureware — and your most motivated leads book with competitors who understand the journey.

Veelgestelde vragen
How much does a bariatric surgery website cost?
Bariatric surgery websites range from $8,000 to $25,000+. Starter packages with 5-8 procedure pages, BMI calculator, surgeon profile, and online booking start at $8K. Professional builds with all procedures, interactive tools suite, before/after gallery, patient portal, GLP-1 section, and multilingual support range from $15K to $25K+. Every project is fixed-fee.
What features does a bariatric surgery website need?
BMI calculator with lead capture, procedure-specific pages for each surgery type (gastric sleeve, bypass, LAP-BAND, revision, duodenal switch), before/after gallery with HIPAA-compliant consent workflow, patient journey timeline, surgeon credentials with ASMBS certification, insurance eligibility checker, cost estimator, GLP-1/Ozempic information section, and weight loss projection calculator.
Do bariatric surgery websites need HIPAA compliance?
Yes. Any website collecting patient health information -- BMI data, medical history, before/after photos, or insurance details -- must be HIPAA-compliant. We use encrypted form submissions, Supabase with BAA agreements, and proper consent workflows for all patient data.
Should my bariatric website include GLP-1/Ozempic content?
Yes -- this is the biggest trend in bariatric 2026. GLP-1 receptor agonists (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound) are disrupting bariatric surgery. Smart surgeons offer BOTH surgery and medical weight management. Your website needs GLP-1 information pages, eligibility checker, and comparison content.
How do I show before/after photos compliantly?
We build before/after galleries with slider comparisons organized by procedure type, starting BMI, and months post-op. Each gallery requires documented photo consent. Patient consent workflow is built into the CMS -- surgeon uploads, patient signs digital consent, photos auto-publish.
What makes bariatric surgery websites different from other medical sites?
The patient journey is emotional -- shame, hope, fear, transformation. The website must reflect this journey, not just list procedures. Most bariatric sites look like generic hospital pages. We build sites that feel warm, trustworthy, and empowering. 97% of bariatric surgeon websites we audited fail basic Core Web Vitals.
