What is bariatric surgery?

Bariatric surgery is a type of operation that helps people lose weight by changing how their stomach and digestive system works. After the surgery, people feel full faster, eat less food, and absorb fewer calories. It is not just for looking slim — it also helps improve health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep issues.

Best Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery Options in Delhi

Types of bariatric surgery
At SCI Hospital Delhi, we provide different types of bariatric surgery. Each option is customized to meet your specific needs.

  • Gastric Bypass: The surgeon makes a small pouch in your stomach and connects it to the small intestine. This helps you eat less and absorb fewer calories.
  • Stomach Reduction:The doctor removes a large part of your stomach, making it smaller so you feel full faster.
  • Adjustable Gastric Band:A band is placed around the top part of your stomach to make you feel full with less food.
  • Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS): This is a more complex surgery that reduces both food intake and calorie absorption.

It's essential to consult with a qualified surgeon and discuss the benefits and risks of each procedure before making a decision.

Why is Bariatric Surgery Done?

Bariatric surgery is done when a person is very overweight (obese) and other methods like dieting, exercise, or medicine have not worked. It is also done when being overweight causes serious health problems like:

  • Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus:
  • High blood pressure
  • Sleep apnea
  • Heart disease
  • Joint pain

If your weight is hurting your health and daily life, your doctor may suggest bariatric surgery in Delhi as a safe and helpful choice.

How Much Weight Do You Lose with Bariatric Surgery?

Here's what you should know about weight loss expectations with bariatric surgery:

  • Weight Loss is Individualised: The amount of weight you lose after bariatric surgery isn't fixed. Many factors affect weight loss after surgery. These include the type of surgery, like gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, or gastric banding. Your metabolism and starting weight also matter. Plus, following dietary guidelines before and after surgery is important. Each procedure works differently, and individual responses vary.
  • Long-Term Commitment is Essential: Bariatric surgery is a tool, not a magic fix. Your dedication to long-term lifestyle adjustments is essential for maintaining weight loss. Think of surgery as the starting point; your ongoing effort drives lasting results.
  • Focus on Health, Not Just the Scale: Losing weight can help with diabetes, sleep apnea, and high blood pressure. Shift your focus to overall health improvements, increased energy, and better well-being.
  • Sustained Weight Loss Requires Ongoing Effort: Maintaining weight loss long-term requires embracing a healthier lifestyle. This means adhering to the recommended diet, incorporating regular exercise, attending support groups, and seeking guidance from healthcare professionals. These changes are vital for keeping the weight off after surgery. It's an ongoing journey, not a destination. Consistent healthy choices are key to reaching and maintaining your goals and experiencing the full benefits of bariatric surgery.

Risk of Bariatric Surgery

Like any surgery, bariatric surgery has some risks. Most people have a safe recovery, but a few may have problems like:

  • Infection
  • Bleeding
  • Blood clots
  • Nutrient shortages
  • Stomach pain or nausea

Choosing a skilled and experienced bariatric surgeon in Delhi can lower these risks. Also, following your doctor’s advice before and after surgery helps you heal better and faster.

What Are the Advantages of Bariatric Surgery?

There are many benefits to having bariatric surgery in Delhi, such as:

  • Major weight loss
  • Lower risk of heart problems and diabetes
  • Better sleep and breathing
  • More energy and confidence
  • Less joint pain and easier movement

It can also help you live longer and feel happier. Many people say their life changed for the better after surgery.

What is the Cost of Bariatric Surgery?

Well, it really depends. The price tag isn't fixed and changes based on things like the specific procedure you're getting and even your location. For example, a gastric bypass might cost more than a gastric sleeve, and prices in big cities might be higher than in smaller towns.

Here at SCI Hospital, we get that figuring out the finances can be tricky. We're here to help you break down those expenses and explore ways to make it work. Think of us as your financial allies in this journey! We can walk you through the process and help you understand what's what.

FAQs

Bariatric surgery is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Some discomfort after surgery is normal but manageable with medications and usually subsides within a few days.

Most patients begin losing weight soon after surgery, with significant results seen within 6 to 12 months. The exact pace depends on the procedure type and your commitment to a healthy lifestyle.

Most patients can return to normal activities within 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the procedure and individual healing. Following your surgeon’s post-op care instructions is key to a smooth recovery.

I had bariatric surgery 8 months ago, and it changed my life. I lost 30 kgs already, and my diabetes is under control now. The team explained everything very well before the surgery. Recovery was smooth with their guidance. Highly recommend this for those struggling with weight issues.

The hospital service was good, and the doctor was very supportive. I had gastric bypass surgery, and it’s been 5 months. Weight loss is gradual, but I feel more active now. Only thing is, you need to follow the diet plan strictly; otherwise, results may slow down.
