Bariatric-Surgery

Every part of our body gets affected due to obesity. In fact, we can say that it affects all the three planes of human existence- physical, mental and spiritual.

The remarkable and wonderful fact is that most of these problems can be greatly improved, while some can be entirely resolved with successful weight loss treatments. Many people have struggled with weight loss for several years trying out various diets, medications and different professional weight loss services without achieving any long-term success. People have been considering various dieting methods all over the world for achieving weight loss. While some starve themselves to death, others go overboard with exercises to lose weight. And above all, those who do lose weight find the outcome as very short lasting and temporary. Ultimately, they become even more disappointed and rejected. For such people, weight management is much more than carrying a few extra pounds as it can be a matter of life and death.

Thus, weight loss or bariatric surgery has given many individuals a new lease on life. This surgery enables a person to lose weight within short time. The amount of weight one will lose depends on the type of surgical procedure that one has undergone and how committed they are to the vital lifestyle changes, including eating habits and exercises. Though the results may vary, but the average patient can expect to lose about 50-90% of their excess weight in about 12-18 months after surgery. Even if the ideal weight is not reached, the comorbid medical problems are improved in most cases. Many patients find they no longer need medications for hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, sleep apnea and back pain. Most patients report an increase in their self-esteem and self-confidence that improves their overall quality of life.

Before the surgery, you will be required to undergo the pre-surgery medical, psychological and nutritional assessments. Once the surgeon announces that the patient is fit for surgery, they will explain the treatment process in details and together you will select the most appropriate surgery suited for you. Most surgeons will perform the surgery using the laparoscopic method. However, this is a decision that the doctor and patient must make together.

On the day of the surgery, you will be required to sign a consent form. Before you sign a consent form, you should have a solid understanding of what is about to take place. At Aastha, our panel of experts like dieticians and psychologist too, will take care of all the concerns of the patient. Your surgeon will provide you with specific instructions for you to follow.
