Bariatric Surgery

Robotic Surgery in Panchula

Obesity is not simply a lifestyle choice; it is a complex, chronic medical condition with profound implications for physical health, mental well-being, and quality of life. Severe obesity is associated with a dramatically increased risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnoea, fatty liver disease, osteoarthritis, and certain cancers. When lifestyle modification, dietary intervention, and medical management fail to achieve meaningful and sustained weight loss in individuals with severe obesity, bariatric surgery offers a safe, effective, and often transformative solution. At Park Hospital, Panchkula, our Bariatric Surgery program is delivered by experienced surgeons through a comprehensive, multidisciplinary care model.

Bariatric surgery, also known as metabolic or weight-loss surgery, works through a combination of restriction, malabsorption, and hormonal modification to achieve significant and sustained weight reduction. Our program offers the full range of bariatric procedures, including laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, mini-gastric bypass, and revisional bariatric surgery for patients who have undergone prior bariatric procedures.

Patient selection for bariatric surgery is rigorous and evidence-based. Candidates are evaluated by a multidisciplinary team comprising our bariatric surgeon, dietitian, psychologist, and physician, ensuring that each patient is physically and psychologically prepared for surgery, committed to long-term lifestyle change, and equipped with realistic expectations for their weight loss journey. Pre-operative nutritional optimization and psychological support are integral components of our program.

All bariatric procedures at Park Hospital are performed laparoscopically, through tiny keyhole incisions, minimizing surgical trauma, reducing the risk of wound-related complications, and enabling a rapid recovery. Most patients are mobile within hours of surgery, eating a modified diet within days, and are discharged within 2 to 3 days. The weight loss following bariatric surgery is typically rapid and significant; most patients lose 60 to 80% of their excess weight within the first year.

The metabolic benefits of bariatric surgery are equally remarkable. Type 2 diabetes resolves or significantly improves in the majority of patients often before any significant weight loss has occurred, reflecting the profound hormonal effects of these procedures on insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism.
