Only bariatric surgery offers long-term significant weight loss. Bariatric surgery is bound to give excellent results in terms of weight loss and a healthier life. You can expect to lose 60-70% of your excess weight, and according to Dr Agrawal, the best bariatric surgeon in Delhi, India, better results in terms of weight loss can be obtained with the help of a better lifestyle.

Furthermore, the healing potential of bariatric surgery is not limited to weight loss and improvements in metabolic health. There are numerous benefits of bariatric surgery apart from weight loss.

Bariatric surgery increases energy levels, boosts self-esteem and lets patients engage in activities that they had previously outright avoided- thus improving the overall quality of life.

Obesity-related health issues can be resolved with bariatric surgery, which includes diabetes, hypertension, and respiratory disorders such as sleep apnea and snoring. In addition, migraines, PCOD, joint pain, and spine issues are also cured after bariatric procedures.

There are several types of weight loss surgeries, and each surgery causes weight loss in its way. Some of the standard mechanisms through which bariatric procedures induce weight loss include :-

A bariatric procedure aims to reduce food intake at a single time by reducing the size of the stomach. The stomach is usually reduced to one-third of its standard size, and this is achieved with the help of endo staplers. The feeling of fullness after eating a small meal leads to fewer calories being consumed, which leads to weight loss.

In some bariatric surgeries, the intestines or bowel are rerouted. As a result, there is minimal fat absorption into the body, leading to weight loss.

Bariatric surgery can affect the release of hormones that regulate appetite, sugar metabolism, and carbohydrate metabolism.

For example, a sleeve gastrectomy reduces the production of hunger-stimulating hormone ghrelin. As a result, appetite is suppressed. Specific bariatric procedures alter the output of various gut hormones, which helps to maintain better sugar levels, resulting in a cure for diabetes.

The two latest and most advanced techniques our team uses to perform bariatric surgery are laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery. Our team, led by Dr Kapil Agrawal, the best bariatric surgeon in Delhi, India, carried out a detailed evaluation of the patients.

This helps us to assess which technique is going to deliver the best results and be cost-effective at the same time.

Dr. Kapil Agrawal is one of the best Laparscopic surgeon in Delhi and has been perfoming laparoscopic bariatric surgeries with excellent outcomes. Bariatric laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique that has changed the paradigm of bariatric procedures.

In this procedure, the surgeon makes several minor cuts instead of one large cut, as in traditional open surgeries. This not only minimizes scarring but also helps in speedy recovery.

The surgeon operates aided by a camera known as a laparoscope, which steers their instruments into the abdomen.

This laparoscope provides clear, detailed motion visual representation. The main advantages of this procedure include less pain, faster recovery, discharge within 48 hours of surgery, and early return to work.

Robotic surgery is increasingly becoming the vogue of both surgeons and their obese patients in the quest for sustainable solutions to managing obesity.

During Robotic Surgery, the surgeon operates using a surgical console that translates their hand movements into more minor, more precise actions within the patient's body with the help of robotic arms. Moreover, the 3D visualization of the internal organs allows him to perform surgery with ease and higher accuracy.

The advantages of robotic surgery are almost similar to those of laparoscopic surgery in terms of incisions, scarring, and recovery. However, precision and more flexibility are the main benefits offered by robotic surgery when compared to laparoscopic surgery.

We prefer robotic surgeries for patients who are super obese and have major previous abdominal surgeries, as robotic surgery allows us to navigate scar tissue more easily.
