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 Kolkata?

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 Kolkata?

  • 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.

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 | 36

Weight loss might be tricky sometimes, and you should be careful about the online products that promise a quick fix. Sudden weight gain is usually a result of poor eating habits or can also be caused by some medical conditions. A balanced diet and exercise are the two best things that can improve one's health and reduce the possibility of getting overweight. If you have any worries, it would be best to see a doctor to get a treatment that suits you.

But make sure you don't have any joint issues. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise a day.

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.

Female | 21

Weight loss supplements can be tricky, especially for those suffering from OCD and neuro medications. Products have the potential to enhance one’s current medication, resulting in reactions that are not only unpleasant but also annoying. It’s preferable to try healthy nutrition and consistent physical activity to control your weight. Consult your doctor for a diet plan that is tailored specifically to your problems and situation and your health condition.

How to lose weight without being too skinny ?

Female | 18

Healthy we­ight loss involves burning fat, not muscle. Our bodies re­quire some fat rese­rves for energy and warmth. Exce­ssive thinness can cause fatigue­, frailty, and illness susceptibility. To slim down properly, consume­ balanced meals with fruits, veggie­s, whole grains, and lean proteins. Incorporate­ regular physical activities like walking, cycling, or swimming. Avoid fad die­ts or skipping meals completely. Gradual and ste­ady weight reduction is crucial. Stay hydrated by drinking ample­ water, and get sufficient sle­ep while losing weight he­althily.

It's natural to feel concerned about your weight, but remember that everyone's body is unique. It's important to focus on your health rather than comparing yourself to others. Visit a nutritionist or a dietitian who can guide you on a healthy diet and lifestyle.

Having too much salt, not being active enough, and having a health condition are among the many things that can cause these symptoms. To solve this problem, you should eat foods with less salt content, move around more often, and drink a lot of water. If the swelling persists then it is necessary to see a doctor immediately.
