Bariatric / weight loss surgery is the only known treatment option which leads to a sustained and long term weight loss in patients suffering from severe obesity ( BMI >32.5 ). People who suffer from obesity have usually tried all means and methods to lose weight without any success before they consider bariatric surgery.
A strong recommendation for Bariatric surgery is given to people who are suffering from morbid obesity i.e those individuals who have more than 30 to 35 kg above their ideal body weight. Bariatric and metabolic surgery also leads to significant improvement in comorbidities ( diseases associated with obesity ) such as - diabetes, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, knee joint pains, PCOD, obstructive sleep apnoea, fatty liver disease, infertility etc
Bariatric surgery is the only safe way for people to lose a massive amount of weight. Patients also find it easier to maintain the weight loss after bariatric surgery as compared to any other means and method of losing weight which also leads to a significant improvement in the quality of life of these patients.

Bariatric surgery leads to about 65 to 75% excess weight loss. Excess weight is calculated as actual weight minus ideal body weight.
It takes about 12 to 18 months to lose this weight. Weight loss is very quick in the first 6 months and then it tends to slow down.
Obesity is a chronic and progressive disease. Diet and lifestyle modifications are an important part of obesity management. Patients who follow the diet and lifestyle modification provided by the specialist after surgery get better results. Weight regain is expected to some degree in the long run but it can be controlled if the patient follows a healthy lifestyle.
After the bariatric procedure, the patient has to follow a liquid diet for a span of 15 days. Which is followed by the stage of semi-solid or soft diet for the next round of 15 days. After a months period, most patients are asked to resume with normal food but in limited quantity. At the start the intake is low but over a period of time, patients are able to eat better. It is also advised to intake nutritional supplements like protein supplement, iron, calcium and multivitamins. These will be advised by the doctor based upon your reports , progress as well as the type of surgery.
The cost of bariatric surgery depends on the type of surgery and the room category that the patient choose.
Few insurance companies cover it now. There are also an option of medical loan through which patients can get the facility of paying for the surgery in monthly instalments and EMIs.
