Bariatric Surgery Treatments

Gastric Bypass Surgery (Roux-en-Y)

A procedure that involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a portion of the stomach and small intestine, which lowers calorie absorption and food consumption.

Sleeve Gastrectomy

A surgery where a large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a tube-like structure (sleeve) that restricts food intake, leading to significant weight loss by reducing stomach capacity and hunger hormones.

Adjustable Gastric Banding (Lap-Band)

A procedure where an inflatable band is placed around the upper part of the stomach to create a small pouch, restricting food intake, which can be modified by using a port to add or remove saline.

Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS)

A two-part procedure that first reduces the stomach size, and then reroutes a portion of the small intestine, significantly limiting calorie absorption and leads to substantial weight loss.

What is Bariatric Surgery and for whom is it appropriate?

A variety of surgical techniques known as bariatric surgery are intended to help people lose weight. It functions by changing the digestive tract, which facilitates weight loss for obese people.

Usually, this kind of surgery is advised for those who have not responded well to more conventional approaches like diet and exercise. Candidates may be eligible with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35 to 39 if they have associated medical issues such as diabetes or high blood pressure, but they typically have a BMI of 40 or more.

In addition to losing weight, the objective is to enhance general health and quality of life. For many people, bariatric surgery can change their lives and provide hope when all other choices have failed. The first step in each patient's journey is an evaluation by healthcare professionals to determine suitability and potential benefits.

Types of Bariatric Surgery

Chellaram Hospital in Pune offers a variety of bariatric procedures tailored to individual needs. Each option is designed to promote significant weight loss and improve health.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric sleeve surgery, often known as a "sleeve gastrectomy," is a popular weight-loss method. A large section of the stomach is removed, creating a tube-like structure known as the "sleeve." The generation of hunger hormones is decreased and food intake is restricted due to the lower stomach size.

After surgery, patients usually lose weight quickly. This may result in better health outcomes for obesity-related illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.

Gastric Bypass Surgery

Gastric bypass surgery is one of the most common bariatric surgeries performed today. This means that the stomach forms a tiny pouch and connects directly to the small intestine. The amount of food you can eat at once is greatly decreased as a result.

Because their bodies are absorbing fewer calories, patients frequently lose weight quickly. In addition to helping people lose weight, this technique aids in the management of obesity-related diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure.

Gastric Banding Surgery

Gastric banding surgery, which involves putting an adjustable band around the upper part of the stomach, is a popular weight-loss method. This helps people feel fuller with less food by creating a tiny pouch that restricts food intake.

Adjustability is a key benefit of gastric banding. The band's size can be changed to suit each person's needs, enabling customized weight loss plans. Because it enables them to adjust to their evolving medical needs over time, patients value this flexibility.
