Now...Surgery To Treat Obesity

Morbid Obesity is a proven health hazard that leads to conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, infertility, arthritis and cancer of breast, prostate and colon. For various reasons, people with the tendency to put on excess weight become obese irreversibly. For them, the ideal methods of slimming down prove impractical and they become exposed to a high risk of contracting life crippling ailments.

Bariatric Surgery offers real help to such severely obese people. It refers to surgical methods that restrict intake and absorption of elements from the food into the system, effectively limiting the chances of fat accumulation. The choice of surgery depends upon its suitability to achieve the objective.

The approach and methodology is effective, safe and is being widely accepted. These procedures are performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques. Minimally invasive surgery means faster recovery, lower hospitalization expenses and less scarring translating into greater patient comfort.

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

The stomach is converted into a long thin tube by stapling along its longitudinal axis. The excluded part of the redundant stomach is removed through a small incision.

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

This procedure involves creating a small stomach pouch so as to restrict the intake of food. A portion of the small bowel is bypassed and the intestine is connected to the pouch.

Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding

This involves placing an adjustable, inflatable silicon band around the upper part of the stomach.

Our surgeons carry out a pre-examination and assess the procedure best suited to the patient. Additionally, at BGS Global, we have a team of the finest health care professionals from other disciplines including Cardiology, Pulmonary Medicine, Endocrinology and Intensive Care to offer total patient care.

Most importantly, BGS Global Hospitals has unparalleled expertise in Bariatric procedures. Headed by top-notch experts, our surgeons are pioneers in advanced laparoscopic techniques.

Note: The ideal approach to reduce body mass is through appropriate dieting & regular exercises. Bariatric Surgery is suggested only in cases where these options become impractical.
