Bariatric Surgery in India with Rahat Medical Tourism: A Life-Changing Solution for Weight Loss
Bariatric surgery has emerged as a transformative solution for individuals struggling with severe obesity, offering long-term weight loss and improved overall health. In India, bariatric surgery is performed using advanced techniques by highly skilled surgeons, making it a top destination for this life-saving procedure. At Rahat Medical Tourism, we provide comprehensive support for individuals seeking bariatric surgery in India, offering world-class treatment at affordable prices.
In this blog, we will explore what bariatric surgery involves, the different types of procedures available, and how Rahat Medical Tourism can help you embark on your weight loss journey.
What is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery, also known as weight-loss surgery, refers to a group of surgical procedures designed to help individuals lose weight by making changes to the digestive system. These procedures either reduce the size of the stomach or alter the way the body absorbs nutrients, helping patients achieve significant weight loss when diet and exercise alone have not been effective.
Benefits of Bariatric Surgery:
- Long-term weight loss
- Reduction in obesity-related health conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension)
- Improved quality of life and mobility
- Increased life expectancy
Bariatric surgery is a powerful tool in the fight against obesity, providing lasting results for individuals committed to making healthy lifestyle changes.
Types of Bariatric Surgery Procedures Available in India
India is home to some of the world’s leading bariatric surgeons, offering a variety of advanced surgical options tailored to each patient’s needs. At Rahat Medical Tourism, we work with top hospitals and expert surgeons to provide the following bariatric procedures:
1. Gastric Bypass Surgery (Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass)
Gastric bypass surgery is one of the most commonly performed bariatric procedures. In this surgery, a small pouch is created at the top of the stomach, which is then connected directly to the small intestine. This bypasses a large portion of the stomach and reduces the amount of food the patient can consume.
Benefits of Gastric Bypass:
- Significant long-term weight loss
- Improvement or resolution of obesity-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes
- Restricts food intake and reduces hunger
2. Sleeve Gastrectomy
In a sleeve gastrectomy, a large portion of the stomach is surgically removed, leaving a tube-like “sleeve” that limits food intake. This procedure is less complex than gastric bypass and is effective in promoting weight loss by reducing the size of the stomach.
Benefits of Sleeve Gastrectomy:
- Simpler procedure with fewer complications
- Rapid and significant weight loss
- Does not affect nutrient absorption
3. Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAP-BAND Surgery)
Adjustable gastric banding involves placing an inflatable band around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch. This restricts the amount of food the stomach can hold, helping patients eat less and feel full sooner.
Benefits of Gastric Banding:
- Adjustable and reversible procedure
- Less invasive with a quicker recovery time
- No permanent changes to the digestive system
4. Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS)
BPD/DS is a more complex bariatric procedure that involves both restrictive and malabsorptive elements. It reduces the size of the stomach and reroutes a significant portion of the small intestine, limiting both food intake and nutrient absorption. This procedure is often reserved for individuals with severe obesity or those who need the most drastic weight loss results.
Benefits of BPD/DS:
- High levels of sustained weight loss
- Effective in treating severe obesity-related conditions
- Alters the body’s metabolism, aiding in long-term weight management
