Weight Loss Surgery or Bariatric surgery refers to a lifesaving

procedure for morbidly obese patients who have not been successful

with other weight-loss attempts,such as exercise, medication, or

changes in diet.

These weight loss procedures limit the volume of food a patient can

consume in one sitting by affecting the digestive process, bypassing

certain part of intestine, or affecting calorie absorption rates. Dr.

Pradeep Jain explains these are not to be confused with liposuction or

other cosmetic procedures. They do not remove fatty tissue. Rather,

they restrict how much a person can eat or absorb, and thus, leave

them with a caloric deficit, and eventually, dramatic and life

changing weight loss.

Dr Pradeep Jain offers essential and honest advice and information

regarding all areas of weight loss surgery. We provide you with the

right tools and educate you how to achieve and get the very best from

your weight loss surgery.

If your GP thinks that weight loss surgery is right for you, you’ll be

referred to a specialist weight loss team. Dr Pradeep Jain will assess

you to decide if weight loss surgery is the right step to take. The

consultant should explain more to you about the different types of

surgery. They should also discuss the weight loss that can result, and

the changes to your lifestyle that you will need to make afterwards.

There are a variety of procedures under the umbrella of “bariatric

surgery.” Generally, there are three different categories. Restrictive

procedures. A surgeon uses vertical sleeves or gastric banding to

physically change the volume of food a patient can eat at once. He or

she will do so by reducing the actual size of the stomach organ, or

the size to which it can expand while eating.

-Vertical sleeves can remove three quarters of the stomach organ. The

stomach that remains is a narrow sleeve, which remains connected to

the intestines.

-Gastric banding procedures require a surgeon to put a band near the

top portion of the stomach.

Combined treatments. Gastric bypass, for example, changes the path of

the digestive tract. Food will bypass the majority of the stomach.

Malabsorptive procedures. Biliopancreatic diversion bypass and other

malabsorptive surgeries do not change how much food a person can eat

at once. Rather, they restrict the body’s calorie absorption process.

In the end, the surgery will create an alternative route for food,

which bypasses a large portion of the intestines.

Dr. Jain notes that some of these procedures are performed via “open

surgery,” a more traditional approach. They involve making a large

incision on the patient, for the surgeon to access the internal

organs.

However, as a laparoscopic surgeon, Dr. Pradeep Jain explains that

they can also be performed by using a small telescope and camera.

Laparoscopic surgery allows the doctor to see images of the internal

organs on a video monitor. It also avoids the need to make large

incisions, which result in lasting scars. Laparoscopic patients

typically spend less time in the hospital, endure less postoperative

discomfort, and are less prone to infection risks than those who

undergo traditional operation methods.

Who can undergo bariatric surgery or weight loss surgery ?

While many patients would enjoy losing weight, these operations are

not for everyone. Only those with dangerous weight levels, such as the

severely obese, are considered appropriate candidates. In general,

patients who are more than 100 pounds over their ideal body weight are

considered severely obese. In order to qualify, Dr. Pradeep Jain,

Fortis Hospital explains that patients must generally :

-Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 40, which has lasted for

five years or more, or have at least a BMI of 35 with dangerous

medical complications that are related to their unhealthy weight.

-Are between 18 and 65 years old. Any patients outside these age

confines may be considered for eligibility on a case-by-case basis.

-Must have made weight loss attempts in the past. In most cases, a

medical professional should have supervised these attempts.

Who is not eligible for the surgery?

There are a variety of situations or conditions that may limit a

person’s candidacy for bariatric procedures. They may include:

-Serious mental illness.

-Chronic intestinal diseases.

-Cancers or other conditions, which may over-complicate the surgery.

-Inability to receive general anesthesia treatment.

What are the benefits of the Bariatric surgery or Weight Loss Surgery

procedure?

Bariatric surgery is known to improve the quality of health for

patients, and even extend their lives. Many patients who have

undergone bariatric procedures are not as likely to die from diabetes,

cancer, or heart disease, compared to those who did not have the

operation.
