BARIATRIC SURGERY

Achieving a healthy weight promotes overall health and well-being. However, for some individuals, traditional methods of diet and exercise may not be sufficient to achieve significant weight loss. In such cases, weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, has emerged as one of the most effective surgical methods for Obesity and a range of its health impacts.

Obesity

Obesity is a medical condition, in which excess body fat has accumulated to such an extent that it can potentially have negative effects on health. People are classified as obese when their body mass index (BMI) is over 30 kg/m2

Impact of Obesity or excess weight:

The impact of excess weight on one's health and quality of life cannot be overstated. Being overweight can make it difficult to maintain an active lifestyle and hinder the ability to engage in activities that bring joy and fulfilment. Moreover, excess weight affects physical health, and obesity can also contribute to various medical conditions, including:

  • Diabetes
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Sleep Apnea
  • Arthritis
  • Asthma
  • Acid Reflux
  • Infertility
  • High Cholesterol
  • Osteoarthritis, especially in weight-bearing joints such as the knees, because extra weight can damage the cartilage and bone
  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
  • Urinary incontinence happens when pelvic muscles that are weakened from chronic (long-term) obesity can no longer help maintain bladder control
  • Gallbladder disease
  • Depression or other mental health conditions
  • Cancers, such as pancreatic, colon, breast, and liver cancers

Bariatric Procedures:

We offer a range of Bariatric (Weight Loss) procedures, each planned to work in different ways to promote weight loss and improve overall health. These procedures can be categorized into two main types:

i) Gastric restriction procedures: bariatric weight loss surgery involves the use of surgical techniques to reduce the size of the stomach. By creating a smaller stomach pouch, these procedures limit the amount of food an individual can consume, leading to a feeling of fullness with smaller portions. Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

ii) Malabsorptive procedures: on the other hand, alter the way the body absorbs nutrients from food. By rerouting the digestive tract, these procedures reduce the number of calories and nutrients absorbed by the body, leading to weight loss.

In some cases, a combination of Mini Gastric bypass and Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass may be recommended to achieve optimal weight loss results.

At our hospital, Bariatric surgeries are performed using Minimally Invasive Techniques, such as Laparoscopic Surgery. These techniques involve small incisions, resulting in reduced scarring, shorter recovery times, and lower risk of complications. We use staples & consumables from the world’s best companies.

Before recommending any weight loss surgery, our team conducts a thorough evaluation of each patient's medical history, lifestyle, and individual goals. We believe in a patient-centered approach, and our primary objective is to ensure the safety and well-being of our patients throughout their weight loss journey.

Weight loss surgery is not a quick fix, but rather a powerful tool that, when combined with a commitment to lifestyle changes, can lead to significant and sustainable weight loss.
