Bariatric surgery, or weight loss surgery, is currently the only proven and effective long-term solution for managing obesity when diet and exercise alone have failed. Obesity, characterized by excessive body fat, is an important underlying cause of other serious health problems such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and may other conditions. Bariatric Surgery aims to not only facilitate significant weight loss but also improve and, in some cases, permanently resolve obesity related other medical conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.
All patients undergo a comprehensive evaluation to determine the most suitable procedure for their goals and needs. This multidisciplinary approach involves specialists such as dietitian, psychotherapist, bariatric physician and nurse specialist to ensure holistic care. Dietitian provides an initial assessment and tailored dietary guidance to support patients before and after surgery, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle modifications, healthy eating, and behavioural changes for sustained success.
Weight loss surgery is a life-enhancing decision for many, offering transformative physical and multiple health benefits. Beyond facilitating weight loss, it addresses complications of obesity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, joint arthritis, psychological challenges and fertility problems. Bariatric surgery empowers patients to achieve lasting positive change in their health and well-being.
