Laparoscopic gastric sleeve & bypass in Vizag, Hyderabad & Vijayawada. Expert bariatric surgeons, 60-80% excess weight loss, transform your health.
Bariatric surgery is a group of surgical procedures designed to help individuals with severe obesity lose significant weight by modifying the digestive system. These procedures either restrict the stomach's capacity, reduce calorie absorption, or both. Bariatric surgery is not cosmetic — it is a life-changing medical intervention that resolves or significantly improves obesity-related conditions including Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnoea, and joint pain.
SurgiKure's bariatric surgeons perform all procedures laparoscopically through tiny keyhole incisions — the safest and most effective approach. Patients typically lose 60-80% of excess body weight within 12-18 months. Our comprehensive programme includes nutritional counselling, psychological support, and lifelong post-surgery follow-up.
Bariatric surgery is recommended when at least one significant obesity-related condition (diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnoea) is present and conservative methods have repeatedly failed.
Primary candidate for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass. Excellent expected weight loss outcomes with significant health improvement.
May require a staged surgical approach. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is commonly the first-stage procedure, followed by bypass if further weight loss or diabetes control is needed.
Most popular bariatric procedure worldwide. Approximately 75-80% of the stomach is removed to create a narrow banana-shaped sleeve. Reduces hunger by lowering ghrelin (hunger hormone) levels. Achieves 60-70% excess weight loss in 12-18 months. Day-care to 1-night procedure.
The stomach is divided to create a small pouch and reconnected to bypass a section of the small intestine. Both restriction and malabsorption achieve 70-80% excess weight loss. Highly effective for Type 2 diabetes — 80-85% remission rates.
A simplified, single-anastomosis bypass. A long gastric pouch is created and connected to a jejunal loop. Excellent weight loss results (70-80% EWL) with a shorter and technically simpler procedure than RYGB.
An adjustable silicone band is placed around the upper stomach to restrict food intake. Now less commonly performed due to lower long-term weight loss results and higher long-term complication rates compared to sleeve and bypass.
