More Information


This surgery for weight loss is also called the “Gastric bypass surgery,” in which a  top part of the stomach is separated and sealed off from the remaining part of the stomach. This results in a reduction in the size of the stomach, often into the shape of a walnut and can only hold about a few grams of the food. 

What is the cost for various types of bariatric surgery in India?

Various types of bariatric surgeries are performed, which include laparoscopic - gastric banding, gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy. Gastric bypass includes stapling, sleeve gastrectomy with stapling, Roux-en-Y surgery, and intragastric ballooning.

Bariatric surgery is of 4 different types:
 

a.   Gastric bypass –

Roux-en-Y surgery is a type of gastric bypass surgery wherein the surgeon clips the stomach, forming a small pouch in the superior part. 

Then intestine is divided into the upper and lower section. The lower portion is attached directly to a small pouch. Thus food moves directly into the small intestine, absorbing lesser calories. 
 

b.   Vertical sleeve gastrectomy/ Gastric sleeve–

Maximum part of the stomach is removed, keeping only a banana shaped portion closed with clips. Metabolism is increased and appetite decreases as certain hormones or bacteria in GIT are affected by removing a part of the stomach.
 

c.   Gastric band – 

A ring is placed with the expandable band at the top of the stomach to create a small pouch. The inner band with a circular balloon is filled with a saline solution. The inner band can be adjusted and the opening can be resized from the small pouch to the remaining portion of the abdomen by inserting, taking out a saline solution with the help of a port that is placed under the skin.


d.   Duodenal switch– It comprises 2 surgical methods, the first similar to gastric sleeve surgery and the second, in which the small intestine is divided into 2 zones.
With this kind of surgery, the food moves from one area bypassing the small intestine, which reduces calorie and nutrient absorption. 

What other factors affect the cost of bariatric surgery in India?

  • Age – Age limit exists for undergoing bariatric surgery. Patients in the age group of 16 and 70 years and with a BMI of 40 are eligible for undertaking the surgery.
  • Gender – The majority of females are seen to be diagnosed with obesity and the rate of undergoing bariatric surgery is higher in females in comparison to males.
  • Health state – The presence of any comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension can increase the overall cost of treatment.
  • Type of hospital and room – The cost for hospitalization differs between government and private healthcare facilities.
  • After procedure problems – Post operation side effects include acid reflux, enduring nausea and vomiting, infection, loss of ability to consume certain types of food, inability to lose weight and stomach obstruction.
  • Varied Recovery time – Time taken for recovery varies from person to person.
  • Technique used for performing bariatric surgery – With the use of advanced equipment, the likelihood of successful surgery rises.
  • Category of bariatric surgery decided – Depending on the type of surgery, the cost varies.
  • Specialist consultation charges – Charges may vary from city to city and from the type of hospital, whether private or government.

Skinny fat in tummy thigh and butt

Male | 23

"skinny fat" in your tummy, thighs, and butt is quite common. "skinny fat" refers to having a higher percentage of body fat and lower muscle mass, even if you appear slender. This can be due to factors like a lack of exercise, poor diet, or genetics. To address this, incorporating strength training exercises, such as squats or lunges, can help build muscle and tone those areas. Also, focusing on a balanced diet with plenty of protein and veggies can support your fitness goals.

I don't gaining weight ( really tired of myself) and I'm a footballer too...

Male | 20

If you feel tired and don’t see any increase on the scale, it could be that you’re not eating enough to fuel your body. You should eat more calories than the average person because of how much running around you do on the field. Make sure to have a lot of carbs, protein, and healthy fats in each meal so you get all the nutrients necessary for good performance. Consider creating a menu with a nutritionist that supports your energy needs.

Female | 16

Losing weight too quickly can be hard on your body and may not be sustainable in the long run. It's important to approach weight loss in a safe and gradual way. Rapid weight loss can sometimes be due to extreme dieting or underlying health issues. I recommend focusing on a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, along with regular exercise. It's also helpful to consult with a healthcare provider or a nutritionist to create a personalized plan that is safe and effective for you.

On the scheduled date, the increase in weight comes from the daily intake of food and lifestyle habits. Hair loss can be problematic, especially when combined with excessive exercise. It is important to follow the guidance of an instructor and consult your doctor to stay safe. If you're concerned about your weight, it's advisable to discuss it with your doctor.

My mother is suffering from overweight. Can she have a liposuction therapy as she is in her early 50's.

Female | 49

Liposuction or literally ‘sucking out fat’ is a suboptimal therapy for OBESE patients who desire weight loss. Liposuction can be considered as a treatment option for body sculpting, or slightly overweight patients who need to shape their abdomen in a particular manner. However, if one is obese, liposuction will cause a disproportionate loss of fat over the tummy, and leave space for fat re-accumulation in the future.

 

There are many weight loss options for a proportionate weight loss, eg. diet, exercise, or medications.

 

The healthier or ‘more natural’ way to lose weight in obese patients (with a BMI of more than 30 kg/m2) is bariatric or metabolic surgery, wherein the stomach is re-sized or bypassed using keyhole surgery. This surgery causes proportionate loss of fat all over the body up to 80% of the excess body weight, over a period of 1-1.5 years. This surgery is a safe and effective option if done by a certified surgeon at a high-volume center.

You might be going through an eating disorder. Skipping meals and binge eating can mess up your body and mind. When the cortisol and inflammation levels are high, it can be concerning. It is still significant to ask for a professional's competence to help and assist you in improving your life.

Female | 40

The changes in hormones and weight gain are natural processes that happen during pregnancy, and the victims of these are aches often caused by fluid retention or muscle strain. The activities that will help to ease her aches are gentle stretching, warm baths, and a sufficient amount of water to drink. Rest can help, also trying to put her feet up higher than the rest of her body will provide comfort.

Sudden weight loss can occur due to various factors, including stress, dietary changes, or underlying health issues like thyroid disorders or diabetes. Common symptoms may include fatigue, weakness, or changes in appetite. It’s essential to assess your situation calmly. Begin by maintaining a balanced diet and staying hydrated. Ensure you're engaging in regular exercise at a comfortable pace. However, consulting a healthcare professional would be wise if this continues or is accompanied by other concerning signs. They can provide personalized insights and support, adequately addressing your overall health and well-being.
