Bariatric surgery is an effective weight loss procedure and often helps treat many diseases related to obesity like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart diseases, high cholesterol, sleep apnea. It is recommended for patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 and above, or BMI of 35 with co-existing medical conditions.
BMI 30–34.9 — Class 1 Obesity (Low-risk)
BMI 35–39.9 — Class 2 Obesity (Moderate-risk)
BMI 40+ — Class 3 Obesity (High-risk)
Bariatric surgery helps patients lose 30–50% of excess weight in the first 6 months and up to 77% after 12 months. It works by reducing stomach capacity or altering the digestive pathway for long-term metabolic improvement.
Bariatric surgeries are minimally invasive, require fewer cuts, and offer faster recovery. They are categorized into:
Weight loss surgery involving creation of a small stomach pouch.
Reduces stomach size significantly to induce weight loss.
Highly effective shortcut gastric bypass procedure.
Requires only one surgical connection.
Combines bypass with laparoscopic banding.
Sleeve gastrectomy with a supporting band.
Non-invasive, adjustable weight loss surgery.
Corrects previous bariatric surgeries.
Metabolic surgery for severe diabetes.
Duodenal switch for very high BMI patients.
A no-scar alternative to multi-incision sleeve surgery.
Advanced bypass using a single incision.
Excellent outcomes with minimal invasion.
Performed with robotic precision.
Advanced robotic-assisted bypass surgery.
Minimal invasive & highly effective.
Corrects issues from earlier bariatric surgeries.
