Bariatric Surgery Options Available
Dr. Ruchir Bhavsar offers comprehensive bariatric surgery solutions using both traditional laparoscopic and advanced robotic techniques:
1. Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG)
The most popular bariatric procedure, involving removal of 80% of the stomach to create a sleeve-shaped stomach. This reduces hunger hormones and limits food intake, leading to sustainable weight loss.
- Best for: BMI 35+ with obesity-related health conditions
- Weight Loss: 60-70% of excess body weight
- Hospital Stay: 2-3 days
- Recovery: 2-3 weeks to normal activities
2. Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (LRYGB)
Creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the small intestine, combining restriction and malabsorption for maximum weight loss. Excellent for diabetes reversal.
- Best for: BMI 40+ or BMI 35+ with severe diabetes
- Weight Loss: 70-80% of excess body weight
- Diabetes Resolution: 80-90% cases
- Recovery: 3-4 weeks
3. Robotic Bariatric Surgery (da Vinci)
Dr. Bhavsar's specialty — utilizing the da Vinci Surgical System for enhanced precision, reduced scarring, and faster recovery in complex bariatric procedures.
- Advantages: 3D visualization, enhanced precision, minimal scarring
- Recovery: 30% faster than traditional laparoscopy
- Complications: Significantly reduced
- Cosmetic Results: Superior with smaller incisions
