Weight Loss Surgery
This procedure is one of the most popular
techniques of modern-day medicine. Weight loss
surgery not only reduces the patients weight but
also decreases the chance of obesity-related
health issues. This procedure is done using the
laparoscopic method to minimize the scar and to
enable a speedy recovery . Bariatric surgery,
also referred to as weight loss surgery, is the
procedure done for those people who are severely
obese.
In this weight loss procedure, the size of the
stomach is reduced by implanting gastric banding
medical device. This can also be done by
re-routing and resenting the small intestines to
a small stomach pouch and the process is termed
as gastric bypass surgery. The other way could be
a removal of the stomach (Biliopancreatic
diversion with duodenal switch or sleeve
gastrectomy)

Types of Weight Loss Surgery
Abdominoplasty This procedure, also called
'tummy tuck, is a procedure meant for those with
a flabby stomach with or without hernia. Through
this procedure, about eight kilograms of fatty
tissue can be knocked off and any associated
hernia is also repaired. We have done a whopping
700-800 of these procedures in the last 9 years
with fabulous results.
Liposuction This a less invasive procedure and is
done by sucking the fat out from the arms,
thighs, buttocks and lower abdomen through tiny
holes. In this procedure, the focus is not on
weight loss but on contouring the body by
reducing fat from particular sites.

Bariatric Surgery Procedure
Restrictive Procedure -The Lap Gastric Band The
surgery is primarily performed for decreasing the
amount of food consumption at a time. The purpose
is to create restriction so that a person feels
satisfied with little amounts of food. Due to
smaller outlet, the food remains in the stomach
for a long time. Due to smaller outlet, the food
remains in the stomach for a long time. The idea
is to decrease daily calorie intake without a
feeling of deprivation.
This procedure entails a laparoscopic
implantation of a silastic band around the
stomach just below the gastro-esophageal
junction, sectioning off a small portion called
as stomach pouch creating an hour-glass effect.
