Bariatric Surgery in Pune

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB):

Among the most commonly performed bariatric surgery procedures, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is renowned for its focus on reducing nutrient absorption through food intake restriction. This procedure, typically irreversible, involves the removal of a substantial portion of the stomach, leaving behind a small walnut-sized section. Moreover, a segment of the small intestine is also excised, with the remaining end connected to the remaining stomach section. This arrangement diverts the path of ingested food, bypassing a significant portion of the stomach and part of the small intestine. This diversion effectively suppresses the patient's appetite.

Sleeve Gastrectomy

Sleeve gastrectomy, another surgical option, entails the creation of a long, sleeve-like pouch by removing approximately 80% of the stomach. This results not only in a reduced stomach capacity but also a decrease in the production of the appetite-regulating hormone ghrelin. As a result, this procedure leads to a diminished appetite. It is worth noting that, unlike Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, it does not involve rerouting the intestines.

Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch

The biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch is a two-step procedure. The first step, reminiscent of sleeve gastrectomy, entails the creation of a sleeve-like pouch. Subsequently, this pouch is connected to the end section of the intestines near the duodenum. This connection bypasses a significant portion of the intestine, thus reducing nutrient absorption.

Endoscopic Gastric Balloon

This non-surgical option involves swallowing a deflated balloon capsule during a short endoscopic procedure. Once positioned in your stomach, the balloon is filled with saline solution, creating a feeling of fullness and reducing food intake. The balloon remains in place for several months before being removed endoscopically.

Allurion Swallowable Pill Balloon

Unlike the endoscopic balloon, the Allurion balloon is a revolutionary option that requires no surgery or endoscopy. You simply swallow a capsule containing a deflated balloon. Once in your stomach, the capsule dissolves, and the balloon is filled with saline through a thin catheter attached. The catheter is then removed, leaving the balloon in place for around four months. The Allurion balloon eventually deflates and passes naturally through your digestive system.

One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) / Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB)

This minimally invasive surgical procedure creates a smaller pouch in your stomach, restricting the amount of food you can consume. Additionally, a portion of your small intestine is bypassed, reducing nutrient absorption. The OAGB/MGB is a highly effective procedure for weight loss, but it requires a commitment to long-term dietary and lifestyle changes.

Bariatric surgery is a powerful tool for weight loss, but it's not for everyone. Here at Jupiter Hospital, we believe in exploring all options before recommending surgery. You may be a candidate for bariatric surgery if you meet several of the following criteria:

• Body Mass Index (BMI): Generally, a BMI of 40 or higher is considered a strong indicator for bariatric surgery. In some cases, individuals with a BMI of 35 or more may qualify if they also have serious weight-related health problems.
• Weight Loss Struggles: Despite consistent efforts with diet and exercise, you haven't been able to achieve or maintain significant weight loss.
• Weight-Related Health Conditions: Obesity can worsen or contribute to various health issues. If you have conditions like type 2 diabetes, severe sleep apnoea, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or joint problems significantly impacted by your weight, bariatric surgery might be an option.

The decision for bariatric surgery is highly individual. Our team of bariatric specialists at Jupiter Hospital will consider your unique medical history, weight loss attempts, and overall health to determine if surgery is the right approach for you. Schedule a consultation with our specialists to discuss your weight loss goals and explore all potential solutions, including non-surgical options.
