Bariatric & Gastric Sleeve Surgery Details

A: The recommended surgery depends on your individual health profile, including BMI, comorbidities, eating habits, and personal goals. I provide a personalized assessment to determine the safest and most effective procedure for you.

A: We consider multiple factors: body mass index, associated conditions like diabetes or hypertension, age, eating behaviors, previous surgeries, and lifestyle to create a tailored surgical plan.

A: Gastric sleeve reduces stomach size to limit food intake, with lower complication rates. Gastric bypass reroutes the intestines, leading to more weight loss and improvement in metabolic diseases but carries higher surgical risks. Your specific situation determines the ideal choice.

A: I use the latest laparoscopic stapling devices with proven reliability. All instruments are selected for safety, precision, and patient comfort. FDA Approved.

A: Critical instruments are either single-use or sterilized according to international safety standards to ensure zero risk of infection.

A: The duration varies by procedure: gastric sleeve usually takes 60–90 minutes, gastric bypass 90–120 minutes, and complex revisions up to 3 hours.

A: Average blood loss is minimal, typically under 50–100 ml, thanks to advanced laparoscopic techniques.

A: Pain is managed with modern anesthesia protocols during surgery and multimodal analgesia post-operatively, ensuring patient comfort and early mobilization.

A: Most patients walk within hours of surgery, start sipping water on the same day, and begin soft foods within 24–48 hours under medical supervision.

A: You will typically need pain control, anti-nausea medication, and vitamin/mineral supplementation as part of a long-term post-bariatric plan.

A: Mild nausea, fatigue, and temporary digestive changes are common but usually resolve within a few weeks. Severe complications are rare due to careful surgical technique.

A: Most patients return to light work within 1–2 weeks, gradually resume exercise after 3–4 weeks, and can safely travel after medical clearance at around 4–6 weeks.

A: All surgeries are performed laparoscopically unless a patient requires an open approach due to complex anatomy or previous surgeries.

A: We use general anesthesia with advanced monitoring to ensure safety. International patients are evaluated thoroughly before surgery.

A: We follow strict aseptic protocols, use sterilized instruments, prophylactic antibiotics, and maintain a controlled operating environment to minimize infection risk.

A: In selected cases, we can combine procedures such as hernia repair or gallbladder removal during the same surgery for patient convenience and safety.

A: Yes, our dietitians create personalized meal plans based on patient needs, promoting healthy weight loss and long-term success.

A: Follow-up visits are typically scheduled at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and then yearly, with additional appointments as needed.

A: We provide international patients with emergency contact details, remote consultation, and clear instructions to manage complications promptly.

A: Yes, revision or conversion surgery can be performed safely if initial results are insufficient or complications occur.
