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.

I need to lose weight without exercise what do I do....I don't like the fact that it looks like I'm addicted to food and to over eating and to unhealthy stuffs and it's like I can't stop....

Female | 20

Trying to lose we­ight sans exercise fe­els tricky. An unhealthy attachment to food, mainly the­ not-so-good options, grows common. Excessive intake cause­s weight gain. Feeling unable­ to control your eating qualifies as a symptom of overe­ating. Root causes could stem from emotional e­ating habits, boredom, or stressful situations. To improve, practice­ mindful eating, monitor portion sizes, and swap in healthie­r edible choices.

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.

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.

Hi. I'm a 24 year old male from the UK. I have been dealing with severe brain fog, shortness of breath, palpitations, forgetfulness and I am very obese (200kg). I am very concerned about the fatigue as it's not like me to feel like this. I got a blood test and vitals checked last month and everything is normal except I have mild LVH caused by my weight and my doctor isn't really that concerned. She just said I can reverse it by losing weight, I also have severe iron deficiency without anaemia as my haemoglobin is normal but my iron serum level is 5.4. My vitamin D levels are also very low. My concerns right now is I'm starting to feel stupid everyday and the fatigue is really concerning me. Can you give me some advice please?

Male | 24

I'm glad you reached out about your concerns. The symptoms you're experiencing, including fatigue and cognitive challenges, can often arise from factors like obesity, iron deficiency, and low vitamin D levels. Addressing your weight through gradual lifestyle changes—incorporating healthier eating habits and regular physical activity—may improve your overall well-being and help reverse mild left ventricular hypertrophy. Additionally, consider discussing iron supplementation and vitamin D with your healthcare provider, as these may alleviate your symptoms. It's important to prioritize your health, so don't hesitate to seek further advice from your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.

It's critical to understand the fact that, being underweight is a condition which happens due to various reasons such as metabolism, diet, and sometimes underlying health issues. In place of injections, discuss your issue with a healthcare expert. They can evaluate your condition and advise you to have a balanced diet filled with healthy calories and doing strength training to add on to your muscles. This approach is comparatively safer, more secure, and sustainable. Remember, you will gain weight slowly from nutritious foods and exercise which will be beneficial for the whole body health. The consultation of a specialist like a physician or a dietician will make you highly successful in your approach. Keep optimism! With the right plan, you can reach the ideal weight!
