What is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, includes various surgical procedures performed on people with severe obesity to help them lose weight and improve their health. These procedures work by restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold, causing malabsorption of nutrients, or both.
At our bariatric surgery center in Nikol, Ahmedabad, Dr. Ruchir Bhavsar offers state-of-the-art procedures using minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic techniques, ensuring faster recovery and better outcomes for patients from Tragad and surrounding areas.
Types of Bariatric Surgery Available
1. Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve)
This procedure removes about 80% of the stomach, creating a sleeve-shaped stomach. It's the most commonly performed bariatric surgery and offers excellent weight loss results.
2. Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Creates a small stomach pouch and bypasses part of the small intestine, leading to both restriction and malabsorption for effective weight loss.
3. Robotic Bariatric Surgery
Dr. Bhavsar uses the da Vinci robotic system for enhanced precision, smaller incisions, and faster recovery in suitable candidates.
4. Mini Gastric Bypass
A simpler version of gastric bypass with similar effectiveness but shorter operating time.
