Complete weight-loss at our hospitals with specialised care and advanced medical solutions:
Bariatric surgery is a groundbreaking medical procedure designed to help people suffering from obesity. As we all know, exercising and maintaining a healthy diet plan goes a long way towards maintaining a healthy weight. However, in cases of extreme obesity when these efforts are not enough, bariatric surgery can be a viable option. People who have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher are ideal candidates for this type of surgery.
Undergoing bariatric surgery helps to limit one’s caloric intake by reducing the amount of food that can be consumed. It alters the way our body digests food, leading to significant weight loss. With this surgery, patients have been known to lose up to 70% of their excess weight on average. By achieving significant weight loss, the chances of developing weight-related health problems decrease significantly hence improving longevity.

Contemporary bariatric surgeries are primarily laparoscopic or endoscopic, emphasizing minimally invasive techniques. These approaches offer patients quicker recovery, shorter hospital stays, and reduced post-operative discomfort. After undergoing bariatric surgery, a comprehensive follow-up is imperative to ensure the surgery’s success, focusing on weight maintenance and minimizing potential side effects.
The various procedures, including Gastric Bypass, Adjustable Gastric Band, Gastric Baloon, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, Sleeve Gastroplasty with endoscopic technique, and Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch technique, each have their unique pros and cons. Your medical coordinator and bariatric surgeon will carefully assess your medical history and assist you in determining the most suitable surgical approach. Gastric Bypass and Sleeve Gastrectomy, collectively, account for over 80% of bariatric surgeries performed globally.
Biliopancreatic Diversion with or without with duodenal switch is carried out, creating a double intestinal conduit to delay the encounter between ingested food and digestive juices. This prolonged separation results in reduced digestion and, consequently, lower absorption of nutrients, such as fats.
The intragastric balloon system is a medical weight loss solution designed to be minimally invasive and is suitable for people dealing with obesity. The device itself is like a balloon that is placed in your stomach without any surgery involved.
The Gastric Bypass procedure combines both restrictive and hormonal approaches, acting on the digestive tract. It involves creating a “small gastric pouch” to which an intestinal loop is anastomosed, allowing the food bolus to bypass the stomach, duodenum, and the initial part of the small intestine.
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty restricts the amount of food you can consume by reducing your stomach’s capacity, so you feel full sooner. This may assist with weight loss. unlike conventional bariatric surgeries, is performed with an endoscope.
Bariatric surgery isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution for those struggling with obesity. Eligibility depends on meeting specific medical criteria and undergoing a thorough screening. Beyond the patient’s readiness to commit to lasting lifestyle changes, choosing a specialist in bariatric surgery and opting for a center employing a multidisciplinary approach is also very important. Such an approach is based on the collaboration among experts in Bariatric Surgery, Nutrition, Endocrinology, Cardiology, and Psychology, ensuring a comprehensive and effective treatment for obesity.
