1. General information only
The information on this website — including descriptions of treatments, eligibility guidance, the BMI calculator, and FAQ answers — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is intended to help you understand obesity, metabolic, and bariatric care in general terms and how coordination with NextWeight Korea works.
2. Not medical advice
Nothing on this website constitutes medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendation. Website content cannot account for your individual medical situation. Do not use information from this website as a substitute for professional medical advice from a licensed physician, and do not delay or disregard professional medical advice because of something you have read here.
3. No doctor–patient relationship
Using this website, submitting a form, completing a preliminary review, or communicating with NextWeight Korea by email or WhatsApp does not create a doctor–patient relationship. NextWeight Korea is a patient coordination platform, not a medical provider. A doctor–patient relationship is formed only through consultation with a licensed medical professional, such as during your hospital consultation in Korea.
4. Preliminary review is not a consultation
The preliminary medical review coordinated by NextWeight Korea is an administrative and coordination step. It helps determine appropriate next steps but is not a medical consultation, examination, diagnosis, or treatment decision. Final diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and surgical decisions are made only by licensed medical professionals after proper consultation, examination, and evaluation.
5. Treatment involves risk
All surgery and medical treatment involve risk, including the risk of serious complications. Descriptions of treatments on this website mention common risks but are not exhaustive. The risks specific to you depend on your health, your procedure, and other individual factors, and will be explained by your medical team before you give informed consent to any treatment.
6. Individual outcomes vary
Any outcomes described on this website — including weight loss and improvement of conditions such as type 2 diabetes — reflect general medical evidence, not promises. Individual results vary substantially. No specific outcome is guaranteed or implied for any patient.
7. BMI calculator
The BMI calculator on this website is an informational tool. BMI is a general screening measure with known limitations, and calculator results do not indicate eligibility for, or suitability of, any treatment.
8. Emergencies
If you are experiencing a medical emergency — such as severe pain, chest pain, difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting, signs of severe dehydration, or bleeding — seek immediate care from your local emergency services or nearest emergency department. Do not use this website, our forms, or WhatsApp to seek emergency help. This applies at all times, including after treatment in Korea.
9. Accuracy of information
We work to keep website information accurate and current, but medical knowledge, hospital practices, travel requirements, and regulations change. Information may be incomplete or outdated at any given time, and we make no warranty as to its completeness or accuracy.
10. Questions
If anything on this website is unclear, ask us before acting on it — and direct all medical questions about your individual situation to a licensed medical professional.
