What is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) is a laparoscopic or robotic procedure that helps people with severe obesity lose weight and improve related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and joint pain. Common procedures include gastric sleeve and gastric bypass surgery, both performed through small keyhole incisions.
Benefits of bariatric surgery:
- Significant, sustained weight loss
- Improvement or remission of type 2 diabetes
- Reduced risk of heart disease and joint problems
- Better mobility and quality of life
- Minimally invasive approach with faster recovery
Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery
Most bariatric procedures are performed using laparoscopic (keyhole) techniques. Small incisions, a high-definition camera, and specialised instruments allow surgery to be performed with less tissue damage than traditional open surgery. This approach is often associated with less pain, a shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery.
Who Should Consider Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery is generally suggested for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) above 32.5, especially when linked with conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, and after non-surgical weight loss methods have not worked. A proper evaluation by Dr. Damani will confirm if you are a suitable candidate.
