Reduces blood pressure,diabetic and coronary conditions while
improving mobility
Today’s fast evolving lifestyle
is causing morbid obesity in a
significant percentage of urban India’s
population. In addition, Indians are
genetically pre-disposed to diabetes,
which causes abnormal weight gain.
Owing to successful outcomes world
over, there has been wide recognition
and acceptance of bariatric surgery in
India too. It is important to understand
how it is done and what makes it safe
and so successful. In bariatric surgery
procedures, weight loss is achieved
by reducing the size of the stomach
in the following ways. In a Sleeve
Gastrectomy, the stomach is reduced
to about 15 per cent of its original
size, by surgically removing a large
portion. The procedure permanently
reduces the size of the stomach and
is performed laparoscopically.
Intragastric Balloon involves placing a
deflated balloon into the stomach, and
then filling it to decrease the amount
of gastric space. The balloon can be
left in the stomach for a maximum of
six months and results in an average
weight loss of 5-9 kgs.
A Gastric Bypass surgery involves
re-secting and re-routing the small
intestines to a small stomach pouch.
A Chance at a New Life
Overweight people tend to lead a life
that is limited, both in terms of physical
capabilities and general health.
Dr. Ramen Goel, Senior Bariatric
Surgeon, Nova Specialty Hospitals,
notes, “If a person is overweight, he is
bound to develop health problems over
time. Hypertension and diabetes are
most common and may even prove to
be fatal.”
Doctors at Nova perform a procedure
called the Mini Lap which uses the
latest full-range-of-motion handheld
laparoscopic instrument. A small
incision is made within a patient’s
belly button, resulting in only a single
hidden scar.
