Obesity Surgery in Porvorim, Goa

 

Bariatric surgery is an effort to surgically modify the digestive system with an intention to achieve weight loss or reduce weight gain. The surgery is only advised in cases where the dangers of excessive weight and weight gain significantly threaten the health of the patient.
Some of the Interventional Treatments 

Gastric Bypass:

  • Gastric bypass surgery involves creating a small stomach pouch by stapling a portion of the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine.
  • This reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold and alters the absorption of nutrients, resulting in significant weight loss.
  • It is one of the most common and effective bariatric surgeries for severe obesity and can also improve or resolve obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.

Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS):

  • BPD/DS is a complex surgical procedure that involves removing a large portion of the stomach and rerouting the digestive tract to bypass most of the small intestine.
  • This results in significant malabsorption of nutrients and limits the amount of calories and nutrients absorbed by the body.
  • BPD/DS is typically recommended for individuals with severe obesity or those who have not had success with other weight loss interventions, but it carries a higher risk of nutritional deficiencies compared to other bariatric surgeries.

Sleeve Gastrectomy:

  • Sleeve gastrectomy involves removing approximately 75-80% of the stomach, leaving behind a narrow tube or "sleeve."
  • This reduces the stomach's capacity and decreases the production of hunger-stimulating hormones, leading to weight loss.
  • Sleeve gastrectomy is less complex than gastric bypass or BPD/DS and may be a suitable option for individuals with lower body mass index (BMI) or those who are not good candidates for more invasive procedures.

Adjustable Gastric Band:

  • The adjustable gastric band is a minimally invasive procedure that involves placing an inflatable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach to create a smaller pouch.
  • The band is connected to a port that allows for adjustments to be made to the band's tightness, regulating the rate of weight loss.
  • While the adjustable gastric band is reversible and involves fewer risks compared to other bariatric surgeries, it may result in slower weight loss and a higher likelihood of needing additional surgeries for adjustments or complications.

Each of these interventional treatments has its own benefits, risks, and considerations, and the choice of procedure depends on factors such as the patient's overall health, weight loss goals, and medical history. It's essential for individuals considering bariatric surgery to undergo a thorough evaluation and consultation with a qualified bariatric surgeon to determine the most suitable treatment option for you

Facilities & Services

A few treatments available for bariatrics are:

Gastric bypass:

  • This procedure surgically reduces the size of the stomach by dividing it into two pouches.

  • The small intestine is then divided, and the lower end of the divided small intestine is connected to the first part of the stomach pouch.

  • The second part of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine remain connected, allowing gastric juices produced in the second part of the pouch to eventually mix with food.

  • The smaller stomach pouch significantly reduces the patient's appetite and ability to eat.

  • Gastric bypass can lead to dramatic changes in weight loss, making it a valuable option for individuals with chronic weight gain problems that threaten their health.

  • Post-surgery, patients are required to follow certain dietary restrictions since some digestive functions will not operate as they did before.
