Bariatric Surgery

Obesity is a major health concern arising from sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits affecting men, women, and children where the body mass index indicating a healthy weight crosses the optimal range of 18.5-24.9, having severe consequences on both the physical and mental well-being of the patient. Obese individuals are at far greater risk of developing other lifestyle diseases such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes type II, and certain cancers. Kauvery Hospital offers a number of advanced and personalized treatment choices under the supervision of our experienced surgeons and team members, providing the best service and aftercare in the area of bariatric surgery in Bangalore.

Sleeve Gastrectomy

This is a non-reversible laparoscopic surgical procedure in which a part of the stomach is removed and the size is brought down to 15-25% of its original size, making the stomach look like a tube or sleeve like structure and restricting the intake of food due to the reduced size.

Adjustable Gastric Banding

A laparoscopic surgical procedure through which an adjustable band is placed on the upper part of the stomach. This is minimally invasive and restricts the intake of food because of the smaller gap between the upper and lower parts making the one at top feel full faster while the flow of food to the lower section is slower.

Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y Surgery)

In this procedure, the stomach is divided into two sections, a small upper pouch and a larger lower pouch, both of which is later connected directly to the small intestine through rearranging. This method bypasses a large portion of the digestive system making it possible to absorb minimal calories from the food. The surgery can be minimally invasive or can be done as open surgery as well.

Biliopancreatic Diversion

A type of bypass surgery in which a large section of the stomach is removed to create a small pouch which is then connected to the small intestine. It also facilitates the bile and pancreatic juices to mix together before they enter into the colon as well, bypassing even more of the small intestine than Gastric Bypass, ensuring calorie absorption remains the least possible.
